I am really enjoying this album. This music seems almost ahead of it’s time.

I didn’t care for it. I’m not a big fan of hip-hop or whatever genre it falls under, so that wasn’t a big surprise for me.

I haven’t heard it all yet, but I love what I’ve downloaded (it’s been on various filesharing networks for weeks now). I really like what he did with _Moment of Clarity_ - far better than the original Eminem-by-numbers production. And _Dirt Off Your Shoulder_ is great - all jittery and glitched-up, and, it manages to hold its own against Timbaland’s version while being completely different.

I’ve also heard _99 Problems_ and _Encore_, both of which I like, but not as much as the other two. Hopefully I should get the rest before long.

I feel like I should send DM a cheque, or something, just to show support.

**HomeSlice** , have you heard his album with Jemini, _Ghetto Pop Life_?
