You shouldn't really hate until you actually hear it. This album is some true WestCoast sounding ish. It's good chill music. It actually sounds like HipHop, unlike all the garbage Dance-Pop-Rap out there.
So with that being said, I recommend you check out the album. I actually like it a bit better than the WC album because the WC has some typical BS sounding songs at the end that downgrade the album for me. This LOC album is pretty much dope, the whole way. Spider Loc has good taste in music, the beats are off the hook. The beats sound dirty-ish grimey ("real music,"... piano, strings, guitar,electric bass..., Funk/Jazz/Classical elements), unlike all the clean digital sounding synthy stuff you hear these days. Just listen to the song "Russ," that beat is FUCKEN HARD. Shit like that, is what you call REAL HIPHOP. That's what Rap is missing these days. There's no real musical elements in Rap music these days and I think Loc is trying to bring that back. Gotta respect that. He's WESTCOAST man, gotta support the man!
