4.5
I have to say that Big Pooh has come a long way from "The Listening". I have been a fan of Little Brother since their conception, though Big Pooh complimented Phonte very well, they weren't on the same level. That isn't a knock in any regard, because lyrically, Phonte is one of best in the game (If you are a real Hip Hop head, you know what I mean). With that being said, Rapper Big Pooh has seemed to finally found his lane and is driving on the Autobaun. The chemistry he establishes with Nottz's production, is impeccable. He has definitely added some social commentary and thought provoking material to his repertoire on this and his last album, "Words Paint Pictures". This is something that is so needed right now. I'm hoping to hear more from these two. So much so, that I'm giving this a 4.5. Because the interludes where his is talking about life we all experience with family, are all cut short, and they are HOT!!! I'm left wondering why??? Hip Hop heads....Get it!
