It's good to great in spots, but doesn't have huge replay value...again though, some dope tracks throughout...

i've been loving it. Rawls really perfected the sound throughout and Kwe's rhymes are as focused as they've been in a MINUTE. guest appearances also perfect.

3-4. Just very formula imo. Some tired topics too...
Songs I'm diggin...
-"Turnstyle"
-"Breath Eyes Memory"
-"Shalamar"
-"Sing Into The Sky"
The rest...
"Native Son"-how many times we heard this same beat?
"The Confidence of Knowing"-cool I guess, but the singer not working for me...
"We Outside"-suffers from wack hook syndrome, beat is dope though...
"To The Ghetto"-super average, do we really need this track? Beat knocks though...
"Swat"-sick beat, but lyrics not feelin...
"Pay Homage"-even this title is sleepy time, just kind of there, super average...
"Love For Life"-required love joint...singer not working for me...beat is that flavor.
"Steve Austin"-so much more could have been done over this beat...not feeling Diani...
"It's Workin"-sounds lazy to me hook wise, beat is slick, but the hook failed it, and made it corny...
Maybe it's just cause I hold Kweli to such a high level due to his incredible early career work...victim of his own success? Again though, the beats throughout are ill...
