    This album is the truth for real. First listen I wasn’t entirely sure if it was on the level I thought Jay needed….but shit, this shit is beyond the mark. I been bumping it back-to-back-to-back-to-back….long story short, i don’t know what everyone’s plan is, but the game is gonna have to get better. Curtis??? How bad does your album look now?
