This project turned out well in my opinion. All the tracks have the nicky feal to them. Yes it has a couple tracks that are different, but i like those tracks. Anyone that gave this cd a crappy rating was expecting the wrong thing. Nicky cant rap about the same shit like he used to, he has to talk about were hes at now. Hes put out over 5 cds already, now hes just defining himself even more. The beats are fine, they knock, they are more mature than his previous beats. This cd shows that hes confident that his true fans will appreciate the work, he doesnt need to impress anyone, but this cd impressed me.
Alot of people are getting dissapointed with the releases this summer, alot of people are expecting way to much. What made CR2 so great was that it was different from his previous cd's. Now that CR2 is a few years old you know the songs and they are nicky classics, same will happen with CR3. You have to appreciate it for its uniquness.
And dont rate an album when all you heard was what was on NBR, get the cd and listen to it on a good system.
