Their voices aren’t adequately distinct and even the guest rappers (besides Gangsta Boo who is easily the most talented person involved) sound basically the same. It leaves the album without sufficient dynamics. I know the critics j izz all over this but I don’t trust them. I don’t think they’re real hip hop fans.

It does have some clever ass and subversive lyrics though.
Hmm...Interesting. I didn't think at any moments that they sounded too much alike, then again maybe because I'm really familiar with both artists, everything was next-level to me about that album.
