I mean when you are DJ Clue and this is your third installment I should not be the first reviewer and this has been out since ... Clue needs to work on bringing more mature lyrical material to his set. I mean the by now he should have learned how to tastefully express his most intimate desires. Although, he is not an MC if it is his project his is actually reaffirming the messages spoken on the record. And these selected MC's are straight talkin about much of nothing and I am disappointed.
People hate on Clue for all kinds of reasons, and I don't necessarily blame them all the time. But this new album is the work of a master producer, period. At least 2/3 of the tracks blew me away the first time I heard them.
Be warned, this is not a mixed album. You won't hear a single blend, cut, mix, or scratch (Clue's mixing/scratching/DJing is awesome on his radio show on Power 105.1, but for some reason he doesn't choose to do any of that on his albums). But that's not why you're getting this album, you're getting it because it's packed full of INCREDIBLE EXCLUSIVE TRACKS.
GET IT!!
