    With so many personalities vying for attention, the artists struggle to display their own individuality, instead constantly relishing in their new spoils.

    The headliners don't seem like they're really trying, so even when the other acts are, they're still smothered by their leaders' apathy.

    If Wale, Meek, and Pill could find a way to focus on their own strengths, maybe they'd sound more comfortable alongside their new boss. Instead, they all sound like they're trying to become mini-Rosses, and it doesn't work for them.

    It's an exhausting listen with all these guys trading the baton back and forth, but taking the songs out of context as individual numbers, most of them come off stronger than they do as part of a front-to-back listen.

Personally, the best song was definitely the Pill and Gunplay collaboration "Don't Let Me Go" I am excited for Self Made 3, but I still rock songs like Fitted Cap, 600 Benz, Tupac Back, and of course I'ma Boss… Full Review »
