I seriously Dont see how u reckon this album is on a par with Elzhi’s. I want impressed with this at all, the production was average and pretty boring.

King Koopa… thanks for reading all the conclusion

As for best producer album of the year?

I think DJ Revolution has it beat and so will the DJ Babu. And I can’t rememebr my Faktz One score, but that could be stronger too.

Not only that, there are probably a handful of albums better on the production side. Jake is dope though, I think my expectations were fairly high

My favorite track was “God Like”, a banger all around with D Black surprisingly holding up with Ali and even Royce and El (kind of, these cats are especially fiery right now). Finally Jake One gets a whole album of his shit and only have to hear one G Unit member on it who happens to be the most appealing. The game has needed this album and I think it’s undoubtedly the best hip-hop producer album of the year (prove me wrong Black Milk) even though I slept through that pos and slug track. This review though? I stopped reading after it said the Keak track was terrible and “Home” was boring…

After listening to the CD again, i have to disagree with the review. Now I agree, keak da sneak is horrible, but i think the CD is overall dope, only 2 or 3 ok tracks. That Alchemist, Evidence, and Prodigy song is dope. The Freeway solo isn’t one of his best, Young Buck was suspect as well, but the rest is pretty dope

I also think Black Milk is dope, Nottz should stick to producing though

I agree with you 100%. I just listened to the album. Half the album is good, and the other half is awful. 20+ plus tracks, but it really could have been 10 tracks.

“I’m Coming” is one of my favorites on the album. And Black Milk of one of my new favorite rapper/producer. Nice review.

Yeah, the score really doesn’t do my review justice.

I just felt that the bad songs really brought the album done. Regardless, the good easily outnumbers the bad. I surely hope a MF Doom/ Jake One album is in the books.

Also, I wrote this review a while ago.. the “underwhelming” beat of the Slug and Pos track fits it like a glove.
