    Despite all of it's successes, the fact is that the album doesn't reach perfection, which I imagine is what most Jets fans might have been expecting from it. I will argue that it's a superior piece of work and certainly one of the better hip hop releases so far this year.

    It's without a doubt the best hip-hop release of 2010, and might as well get ready to earn praise in the smart circles as one of the best overall releases of the year as well.

    Yet despite all this potential, Ross's work too often comes off as a conspicuous mishandling of both assets and signifiers: too much drug posturing, too much repetition, too little real effort.

    Delicious. Relaxed music, hard raps and amazing beats. The array of instruments is awesome and a delight to hear when so many artists are doing the same thing. Most of the songs also contain this great nostalgic feeling of the 90's.… Expand

    Amazing. Curren$y's witty metaphorical lyrics are worth listening to. Mix that with the nice mellow beats and you can't help but enjoy the cd. No mainstream nonsense on this compilation, one of the best hip hops i have heard of late.… Expand

    Musically gorgeous, incorporating guitar, horn and piano, lyrically-dense, monotone flow. Curiously, a mellow delight to scratch the brain. Excellent cohesion. Replay value: 4/5.… Expand
