One of the best parts of Heavy Mental is the feeling that it's only the tip of an iceberg of unlimited dope imagery. Unfortunately that actually seems to have been most of the iceberg cuz at least in his two follow-ups he's repeating the same kind of stuff. He still definitely gives his unique touch to his street narratives and other stuff that otherwise would've been less interesting, and he's still experimenting with new stuff (I really dug that kid's chorus on Heat of the Moment and George Clinton's features), but I found this much less gripping than I'd hoped. This and View from Masada seem to be regarded as some of his weaker work, so I'm still stoked for The Offering.
Choice cuts: Come Wit Me, Heat of the Moment, CU When I Get There
