Is this any good? Thinking of picking it up after work today.

I wouldn't. All the madlib beats are just Simpson rhyming over old Beat Konducta beats for one. He didn't come off well on this project IMO. It seemed really uninspired and none of th e songs had replay value to me.

I gave it a couple of listens but the beats on there really didnt grab me .Too many keyboard style electronic beats for my taste.

So this is a try before you buy, then? Any Black Milk production?

Yeah, he gave Guilty some of his better Dilla impersonations.

I quite like the album. He did reuse some older beats though.

i bought this yesterday after the "bad numbers" thread...

and fuck, shit was not that great... then i thought about it and i had never heard a full length guilty album before this one....only his features

even if he didn't change the subject matter(i can usually get over that) the production was not what i was expecting.... cd needed that "man's world" podcast stones throw did a while back bad...

9.99 gone, but it will get played every now and then because its right under badu on my itunes purchased folder.....

Damn!, I didn't think this shit was that bad. The album sounds real dope when your blunted, I haven't had a chance to hear it sober yet, but its got some replay value to me.
