I slept on this one for a minute but this album is great. Exile really laced some dope beats and Blu has them blue collar every day lyrics I can relate too...Refreshing to hear a soild album come out like this in these times...

    Yeah, it's really good. Despite some lazy lyrics here and there, this is easily one of the best debuts in recent years.

    major co-sign. it's definetly a real good album, real hard to do with indie-rap.

    My pick of the album is "Good Life" and "In the rain".

    Blu and Ex also did an E.P., cd-r slime case style, a year or two ago that's also a real solid listen.

    i got a few simple beefs with it.

    as you said. sometimes the lyrics are lazy. and sometimes the beats get monotonous.

    but that is ONLY because the album is wayyyy tooo long.

    i love it despite its length.

    if the shit was shorter it would of beeen stronger.

    other than that...i like every aspect of it and such.

    I still need to cop this, Exile is one of the few producers these days that I really think has a consistent output and sound.

    His solo album from earlier this year had some joints on it as well.
