It gets repetitive very quickly. I keep wanting to hear some type of story from it and I'm really not. The skits are on point, rhymes are nice, beats too. It does however fall to a rather common modern weakness of rap albums (even some highly regarded ones), it sounds like the same 4 or 5 dope songs played over and over.

When will rappers stop rapping about how good they are at rapping/ how bad their competitors are at rapping? Rapping about rapping is getting worse and more monotonous than gangster rap in its height. At least they were rapping about different criminal activities!

I really like the album and I hate to sound negative but it seems they used up 90% of their creativity on the concept and didn't have enough for the actual music.
