as a beat tape, it's nothing special
if you're being nostalgic, still, nothing special
no changeups, just monotonous
i liked a few joints, but he should have taken notes from his mentee, dilla, and used more vocal scratches and phrases to keep the listeners attention
at least for me, just listenin' to plain beats is boring
i need to hear vocals to stay interested
it's very few pure instrumentals that can keep my attention for 45 minutes, and the ones that do or did, it's because i'm listening to them over and over to study and learn from it, or i enjoy it that much

these? not so much...
