I'm late.

Damn late.

I bought this the year it came out, and it went completely over my head. I wasn't ready for it.

There were a couple of songs I learned to like...but I haven't revisited it in years.

I recently dusted it off to prep for the Killer Mike album...this dude is an effing genius. Like a mad scientist or something.

Its strange that how, over repeated listens, songs that at first sounded like a mess now sound melodic as f*ck.

From The Overly Dramatic Truth through to the end of the album is just an amazing sequence.

I always liked TPC and Up All Night...I left TPC off that recent "best album openers" thread...it should be on there.

The lyrics on Dear Sirs??? Shiiiit

Sorry I'm late to this and rambling at this point...

Anyone spin this lately?


What else should I check out by him? I've been told to stay away from Fantastic Damage...

but it looks like he has other random singles from compilations and stuff...

What should I peep next??
