I doubt many people like him becuase he's mainstream but Young Jeezy is actually pretty decent. I usually don't give mainstream rappers much of a chance. But he's got a few good songs.

It's good. I downloaded it 2 weeks ago and still listen to it. My only problem is there aren't enough Wu appearances. Other than that, it's pretty good. It doesn't compare to Grandmasters, which I love. I would buy that, but my cash flow is running thin and I just bought Blackalicious "The Craft" not too long ago. I try to space out my purchases.

I usually feel the same away about Wu appearances, but Gza is one I don't mind to hear more from sometimes they go overboard. Actually I thought his last album had too many guests and not enough Gza on it. I've been listening to it but it's lost in a 3 CD shuffle with the official release of the PE album and I picked up Rev Run's solo as well. I got like 14-15 hours of driving next weekend so I'm sure they all will get plenty of play.

Changing gears a little bit....

I just watched the video for Linkin Park and Jay-Z doing Numb/Encore. I like Numb. I don't know if I've ever heard Encore before and if I have, it's proabably just been background noise. Anyway, when I first heard about LP & JZ doing this little EP earlier this year all I could think was "gimmick". I've heard a couple of the tunes, but not this one yet. To me, they kinda actually work together.

I dunno.. am I the only one?

I was pretty impressed with the improvement of Juelz Santana. But im waiting for Talib Kweli come out with another CD. dammit.
