its all opinion..hes so diverse that no matter what he does he upsets a person that dosen't like the style being used. look at eariler posts. one says "yea techs shits all starting to sound the same." then a few above someone says "this dosent feel like the the tech n9ne i been into for a while" so its whatever. i enjoy every cd hes put out. the guests and production on this cd is better than MLK. especially the guest spots. and of course damn near every tech verse is killer. standouts are kixin it, let me in, in the air, party n bullshit, dysfunctional, far away, and of course his 2 solo jams. if you don't like it then move on
