So yet another hip hop album, but I actually liked this one, primarily because it didn't contain any hate speech or try to incite violence against women. In fact, "Description of a Fool" felt like a direct reaction to some of Ice Cube's more venomous work.

This is obviously an improvement lyrics-wise, but I also enjoyed the use of sampling from all different music genres. Speaking of sampling, like every person with a soul, I love Hamilton and noticed our boy Lin-Manuel Miranda paid homage to this band with many of his lyrics. 

So a nice reminder that hip hop music can be good, which I sorely needed right now.
RATING: 3/5
