Also a huge disappointment after being positively surprised at how fantastic The W was. Most of the verses are phoned in at best, at worst just lame. I think a big factor in the overall drabness is the beats. Wikipedia has a whole thing about how different the beats are from each other, but they sound as similar as those on 36 Chambers and Wu Tang Forever to me, they all share certain smallness and lack of inspiration. Ghostface's verse on Rules is the highlight of the album for me, it's short but had me laughing historically. Ghost and The GZA both go in on Babies too. But overall very disheartening.
Choice cuts: Rules, Y'all Been Warned, Babies
