I've got no idea where these 5/5 ratings are coming from. The guy is playing around just to pass time and make some cash, it seems. It's clearly fun for him, though, which is cool. Almost all of the songs are boring as hell though.

Oddly, some of his best-ever raps are on this album but they are few and far between (never was a very good rapper, but he's obviously got some skill in that department). Almost all of the beats suck but there a few gems thrown in there and some surprisingly good moments pop up throughout the album.

This shit literally reminds me of old Ween tapes that were made by two kids getting drunk, huffing glue and playing with a tape recorder. This album sounds like West getting drunk and high on MDMA and playing with million dollar equipment.
