Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

This is the album that put T.I. on the map. He hasn’t really gotten a whole lot better lyrically than on I’m Serious, but he has diversified his subject matter. The result is a deeper album, with lots of replay value. The singles are dope, like   Be Easy, 24s, Let’s Get Away, and the anthemic Rubber Band Man. Theres some other good stand out songs like Look What I Got and I Still Love You. The album closes on an even note. This is one album that if you missed out on it, you need to hear it.     I give this album a 8.75/10. Its not excellent but it is great.

-Janelle’s first official album is a classic. Lyrically its excellent, and every song feels like it belongs together with the other songs on the album. The album has few guest spots, but they aren’t really needed. Tightrope is a great song which features Big Boi. The album is just so creative and well executed. There is an occasional moment where things seem like a bit too much, but those moments are few and far between.  I give this album a 9.75/10. I can’t wait to hear more music from her.
