"1/2 of CNN is back after only 9 months since his long awaited solo debut, one about equal with this one and worrthy of 4.5 stars as well. With 14 songs on here, you get a good deal of the QB dun. Of the 14, 1 I skip, 2 are ok, 3-6 are almost classic material, and the other 6-8 are good or great songs. Guests are only on 3 songs rapping so you get a lot of Pone as well. Lyrics are hi susual, mostly gangsta/hustlin tales witha few deeper and a dirty song or 2. Production is very nice as well. Frank Nitty and Twinz each do 3 songs, Just BLaze, DR Period, Scram Jones, Kev Kyze, Ill Will Fulton, Ev PRice all do 1 songs, and 2 songs don't have production credits listed. A must have for CNN/QB/real gangsta rap fans.

#2 - 8.5 (goo dbeat and samples for the hook)
#3 - 7 (f/ Noreaga -- a radio-like song)
#4 - 8
#5 - 9 (tight beat)
#6 - 5.5 (f/ Lexus)
#7 - 8 (f/ Pinky Ring & 1100)
#9 - 9 (tight beat)
#10 - 9.5 (tight beat)
#11 - 9 (tight beat)
#12 - 9 (nice story line and beat -- f/ Sha Nitti & Double 0)
#13 - 9.5 (another tight beat)
#14 - 9.5 (one more tight beat)
#15 - 8.5 (dedication to 2Pac, B.I.G., and Big Pun)
