i kinda feel what you mean. Everything on wax cds seem to be "second hand" in a way. Like, it seems like there was some kind of generation loss when the beats got sent around or something.
Also, the cover looks kind of grainy. All that aside this cd is the shit
album of the year? not even close. i always complain about his delivery but he came pretty coo' on "krossed out" and that "out of time" track is clean. "The New West" is another good track, all the rest didnt really like the production.
