He is definitely a better singer than rapper, yet here he seems to be more focused on the rapping aspect. Since Malibu (which I loved), I've thought that the strength of his craft primarily comes with his charisma, great voice and knack to write great melodie/his production - not necessarily his lyrics (even though I'm not saying he is a bad lyricist by any means).The album ends really poorly as well with the last two tracks. That said there is some real heat on here - "the chase" is some fantastic 70s blaxploitation sound track stuff (also Kadhja Bonet is the truth and you should check her out if you haven't). Snoop and Paak sound amazing on "Anywhere" - Snoop sounds like he was born to be over that track. "Smile / Pretty" is gorgeous and the portion of "6 Minutes" where he gets into gun control is great.
