I went in excited. If nothing else, I expected weird and weirdly placed vocal samples. I got that!

Besides that, I tried to fall back and let them deliver their thing. And Roc delivered THE RAPS as per usual and Alc tried like hell to lace him with a mix of things. The title track is my favorite song on the whole thing by a lot cuz it is THE type of self-aware rap music I love most. Roc knows he's dope and beloved but still at least kinda sorta underrated. It's the God Loves You on this one.

Quantum Leap is the most unimpeachable song on there. Basically anyone who likes beats and rhymes should find value in that thing there. And that 'everybody stand.back!'? Yeah...that type of shit is gonna work on me pretty much every time.
