I actually think that the middle is the album's strongest part lol, especially the run from Superpredator to Tupac Jackets. Washington Redskins stands out to me especially as it's really rich and ambiguous lyrically; having heard the new Armand Hammer it makes me wonder whether he initially had that track in mind for Rome. Strawman is indeed a great track, but I don't like it's inclusion on this record, it's very out of place in a lot of ways. I do actually rank a couple of non-DAMN hip hop albums above this one though, so I won't get upset with you unless, well you know. You know damn well.
