Being someone who has listened 2 Quinn since he was at Wash High in the early 90's I can see why some folks would like his younger days music better, but I think his Growth and maturity on the mic shows best on I Give You My Word.........Live N Direct, Hustle Continues, Explosive Mode, and I Give You My Word are all Bay Classics
Time will tell for the Rock, and I think the album is tight, but I don't think it will be regarded as a classic
