    i might be biased, but it’s annoying to me how people like joe budden/half of ktt look at this album like he needed it to prove himself. like his recognition and reverence in the rap community is undeserved. these are people talking without the knowledge that he has over 100 songs and several mixtapes. his talent has already been showcased time and time again. he didn’t need this album to prove his legendary status.

    i see people use the same energy with biggie. “he only had 2 albums!!!!! you can’t mention him with so and so” people value the wrong things over quality

    I honestly cant think of an album in a really long time where every song is pretty much legitimately great and then has one song which is just f***ing dreadful like this one lol.

    Flux Capacitor is bafflingly bad.
