Someone on this post (or maybe another post) related to BREAKIN' NEWS said that it was the kind of CD that you had to let "grow on you", and that when you least expected it, it would "seep into your system." Can't remember exactly who said that (maybe it was Pimperoni).
Well, whoever said it--they're right. I played 40's new one for the third time last night, and I find myself liking it more--songs that irritated me at first ("Hot", "I Hope U Get This Kite") sound good to me now, although I still can't get with "Show & Prove", and "Wa La" is a little idiosyncratic...I'm beginning to like 40 lyrically more on here than I did on GRIT & GRIND...go figure. What's going on?
PEACE!
