I got a hold of the leaked version last week. At first I couldn't stand it. Then I put it on my shuffle and did some yard work. After forcing myself to listen to each track I actually now have a few favorites.
"Tie My Hands" with Robin Thicke is a great song. Good vibe, has some actual material to it. Easily my favorite song on the album.
"Beat Build", "La La" both have nice beats.
"Nothing on Me" - Fabolous finally puts out a good verse. Juelz Santana does a good job. Just glad to hear new material from him in general. Hook is stupid, though.
"Dr. Carter" - interesting. Good lines. Nice take on the hip-hop state atm.
Rest of the cd is alright. I'd probably buy it to support him, and not just to be on the wagon. I'd give it a B- overall. Something I definately can listen to a few times over. Compared to alot of the other garbage being put out by artists' (in every genre) this CD is good. Most other CDs have maybe 2 songs that I like, so for this one to have 5 is doing pretty good.
My $.02.
FWIW, I don't listen to much rap, so I'm not a rap-fiend.
