    5.3??? That's a little too low for a great effort by Lif. A majority of the tracks are good, and who ever is rating his album probably does not have a good ear for quality Hip-Hop. May be a little too political for some, but I would rather little to some meaningful lyrics than some garbage rap club music.

What Lif states on his album is significant to today's economic climate, and more albums should be made that actually speak about something, rather than making music to fit everyone's comfort level.
