It seems to be the natural tendancy for me to compare this album to 50 Cent's "Get Rich or Die Tryin". Although 50's album is more fun, and more catchy Obie can actually tell a story in his rhymes rather than just blurting out random gangster phrases. The production on this album has got to ge the best ive heard in years. Eminem is gettiing better and better with each album he produces. All in all, great album, maybe not quite as good as 50's but still hot.
