I've listened to the album and the more i listen to it, it's grown on me.
Like I said we knew it was going to be a "lighter" album, so why all the bitching...that is beyond me. Maybe we'll get some more dark tracks on another solo album or the ever-delayed Kabosh album.
As for the repetitive hooks- yes they are there, but they are also catchy as hell. Ha.
Some of the features are strong-Irv Da Phenom, Stevie Stone, and Jay Rock to name a few. Just enjoy the album for what it is, it's a carefree party style album. If you don't like it just wait it out- i'm sure Tech will drop more stuff soon & we also have "Shock Treatment" coming up on us.
