COMMUNITY REVIEWS

good music submitted by Jackie77 on August 12, 2015, 5:19pm Good old school rap album. My favorite songs are potholes on my lawn and the magic number.

A Classic submitted by SaraP on July 25, 2019, 9:34am Definitely stands the test of time. The lyrics, the samples, the weirdness... it's a great album. Personally, I would say in my top five hip hop albums of all time.
