yeah, but too many guest spots man. For somewhere who waited forever and a day to drop his full length I thought he would personally contribute more towards it.
That being said it still is pretty good. As you pointed out, the beats are the best aspect. Very gritty and minimalist, nothing over produced and no dumb attempts at crossovers with electro or dubstep like many other rappers are guilty of.
My complaint though is that with the high volume of guest spots, why couldn't the quality have been improved?
Kendrick's verse on Nosetalgia is very good and I actually quite enjoyed Ricky Ross's contribution but other than that the guest verses were unremarkable to say the least.
Guys like Big Sean & 2Chainz have no business in rap never mind on every second album that's dropped.
