There’s only two real weak points to the album.... That’s it. The rest of this is good to great.
-
Sixteen meaty songs strong, the album is part slightly-fictionalized tour diary, part rumination on unrealized success and finding fun in the day-to-day.
-
In the end, The Show is yet another pretty good throwback hip-hop album on which Masta Ace has been a central figure.
-
While it may be a little on the long side, the quality never lets up and you'd have a hard time deciding which tracks, if any, should have been left on the cutting room floor.
-
At 24 tracks, The Show can't exactly list brevity as one of its myriad virtues, but this is one of those rare hip-hop albums that goes on forever because its members have a lot to say and a charming way of saying it.
