I was giving this album a fresh listen this morning and I kept thinking that this felt like an RTJ prequel.
I have heard this album before today but the only track I really remembered was Reagan. To me that track is an iconic “conscious rap” track and it remains my favorite on the album.
Others that stuck out to me today were Don’t Die and Butane. Don’t Die is just another awesome angry socially conscious track. And I personally like El-P’s rapping more than Killer Mike’s so I knew I would like Butane before I even heard it again.
