Some cats have flows, but no concepts. Other cats got concepts but they're too pretentious. Ace is that rare combination of unassuming style, sharp wit, and straight-up heart that never comes off as flashy, corny, or overly-preachy. That, and he can never be accused of haphazardly throwing songs together and calling it an album. While I'm opposed to using the phrase "concept album" in relation to his work, his full-length efforts have a guiding theme that causes his songs to make sense with one another, more so than many similar efforts of the day.MASTA ACE[/b]
