How much you like this probably depends largely on your tolerance for multi-syllabic rhymes and soul samples, and you can certainly find more creative displays of both elsewhere. AZ never seemed to have all that much material to work with but this is limited even by his standards, though there's more emphasis on his soft side than on his earlier work. I'm glad Ghostface and AZ got a chance to work together, this definitely calls to mind Pretty Toney, though it's not nearly as good.
At its best utterly sublime but there are duller or at least less out there stretches. Time, Spaced Cowboy, and Runnin' Away is an incredible run.
