I have two copies of this album...This album is lyrically a Body of work. With sounds culminating from all over the world. One of the most underrated albums that surpasses Nas: Illmatic album on poetry flow switches and historical and philosophical bars that are absolutely mind-blowing. If you love hip-hop buckle up for the roller coaster of a lifetime this EPIC Masterpiece was inducted into the Chicago college for collegiate study for a reason. I was blessed to hear this Masterpiece this album is a must own handbook on how rap is suppose to sound and no album in our era holds a candle to this masterpiece in the 2010's!! LUPE OUTCLASSED HIMSELF. HIP HOP THANKS YOU
