I was going to say For Sale? was my fav. The best instrumental on the whole album as far as I'm concerned, and I love the slightly comedic, skittish, tongue-in-cheek rap style and the upbeat psychedelic instrumental contrasting with the idea of him selling his soul to devil, I thought that really worked. Quite a harsh review, I think a lot of the tracks stand up better in the context of the album, and when you take the recurring themes into account. Production is brilliant throughout I think. The story-telling on How Much a Dollar Cost is top tier. Might agree about the Tupac section but I've actually been drawn in by it every time I've listened to the album, haven't skipped it yet. I love the atmospheric jazz sax stuff he sets it to.
