Reviews
William E. Ketchum III of HipHopDX.com said that Birdman constructs a disc full of capable singles but not because of his own skills on the mic but his producers and his guest stars. Calling the album an album that's much more tolerable than Birdman detractors would expect or like to admit. He talked down to Birdman's rapping saying that "unlike other materialistic rhymers, Birdman doesn't have any redeeming qualities; he doesn't have the charisma of Lil Wayne, he doesn’t have the dry wit and wordplay of Fabolous, and he lacks the larger-than-life persona of Rick Ross. He furthly states that the uninventive rhymes and the unvarying subject matter take their toll. In conclusion he stated that Birdman may not know how to rap well, but by leading a team of capable emcees and beatmakers around him, he knows how to make music. And in this industry, that sixth sense of knowing what goes where is, well, priceless. [5]
