I've had the leaked copy for about a week now. After the first play through I didn't know if I truly liked it due to the extremely different beats he choose to use. I mean, He uses Wayne Fontaine's game of love as a track. But after a few more play throughs, and finally catching some of what his amazing word play is saying, it was all coming together. Rapping wise, EM has never been better. His flow, punch lines, metaphors, and cursing have all reached new highs. He is every bit as good now as he was during the MMLP, and in most cases he is better. I can not wait till Tuesday to purchase the deluxe edition, as the leaked copy does not have the extra songs. I definitely recommend any true hip hop fan purchase this amazing album.
What's great about it: Lyrics,flow, and over all skill have improved and are unmatched
What's not so great: Some of the beats take a bit to get used to.
