Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the West Coast scene during the height of the G-Funk era, the MC delivered a relentlessly dense, highly intellectual alternative to mainstream gangsta rap. The lyricism heavily incorporates extreme historical revisionism, complex wordplay, and deeply controversial political philosophies. The stark, minimalist production forces complete focus onto his highly technical, relentlessly analytical vocal delivery.
