I love this album because it has so much of the 1980's rap flavor in it. Human beat box, funny lyrics, techno sounds, they are all part of the 80's hip hop transition to rap. This album took Will and Jeff to the next level and shot them on to big careers. Now, Will has totally outdone his old work, but this album is cool 'cause it's bringing the roots back. Another good album for Will Smith fans, don't expect any Big Willie, but expect some Fresh Prince style.
