    one of my favorite album of the year. It's classic Hip-Hop, soulful, and a well done album. Great collaborations with Raekwon, Blu, Warren G, Mac Miller, Phonte, Median, Masta Killa, Erykah Badu, and Sundown. I give 9th wonder credit for doing that awesome song, "Peanut Butter & Jelly", with Marsha Ambrosius. To me, that was the highlight of the album. Overall, the album was awesome.

    Overall, it's hard to find much fault with The Wonder Years, and it's remarkable how cohesive it feels given that it's a compilation album.

    The Wonder years have not only delivered a genuinely great pop-punk record but a genuinely great record, period. [8 Oct 2011, p.50]

    It's not simply a retrospective affair, but a calling card illustrating why this beat-maker wears a crown on his album cover.
