We already heard all the decent joints off this album tho. The rest
sound like leftovers to me.

I can kinda see what you're saying. I think TML just caught him trying
find his own sound, whereas this one finds him just straight up jacking others.

We can agree to disagree there. I think Take Care was a better mainstream
release and sounded more inspired as well. I can agree that this
one is also a solid mainstream release by 2013 standards, especially
considering the heaps of trash Jay and Ye dropped this year.
