    Every inflection, every word, even nearly every concept feels lifted from rap’s reigning King’s playbook. It’s a haphazard mixture of TDE’s figurehead circa Section.80, with a big heap of Good Kid and a smattering of To Pimp a Butterfly, just for good measure. ... DiCaprio 2 is a heavy helping of technicality, signifying absolutely nothing.

J.I.D's album was full of hilarity, intimacy, and liveliness. A vivid project complemented with great production, and some nice verses done by the Atlanta native. There is a lot to take in, with tracks like Workin' Out, Skrawberries, and Slick Talk defining his career. Jazzy and industrial sounds in Atlanta clearly do not match, yet it is surprisingly well executed by J.I.D. There are some disappointments in here too though. Off Deez with a strangely out of shape J.Cole was meant to be the key track in this album, but the repetition and the overdone lyricism just didn't work. 6lack, Method Man, and A$AP Ferg features delivered in some way, but it just wasn't as favorable as when J.I.D stood alone. Even with that, this album is very solid in sound and performance.

    Probably the best that he has to offer yet. An unexpected run at top rap album.
