Don't listen to Dannyboy's borderline retarded review. Why a square like that guy is even listening to the album I have no idea.You can pretty much play this cd str8 thru. Obviously this is be4 they improved studio technology, so the sound isn't clear (since he's rappin over the phone) like his recent cd's are, but with that said, it makes this album that much more real. You really can't go wrong w/ a x-raided cd, especially this one.
