I'd say 75% of the beats on that album are borderline unlistenable, but I can recognize that Em displays some serious lyrical chops on there. But the beat shave prevented me from listening to it that much.

I actually like all of the beats on that album. Besides the ones you mentioned, "Light Sleeper," "Real Circus," "Can You Feel Me," and "Joint Custody," to just name a few, would all sound dope no matter who was rapping over them. Saafir just makes them sound perfect.
