    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.

    For backpackers and underground fans, it's a must, but anyone who wants their hip-hop both a bit stranger and a lot deeper will fall hard for this one.

    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

    A smooth soulful delight. The production from Ski is brilliantly soft and compliments Curren$y's slow flow and winding lyrics perfectly. On the surface it comes across as "weed rap" but trust me there is much, much more to this guy than that, I would seriously reccomend to anyone who like witty lyrics and smooth production.… 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

    One of the most unique and chilled out rap albums you will ever here. Audio Dope II is possibly my favorite Curren$y song, which is saying a lot, the dude puts out more music than anyone in the game right now.… Expand
