Classified - Handshakes & Middle Fingers

[Djaminha]

Did anyone cop this? Self Explanatory was ridiculously good, it was always gonna be hard to follow up but I think he managed it.

Also fully produced by Classified, he's a very underated producer, I'd like to see him produce for other rappers more.

1. "Intro - Ups And Downs" - 5/10 Nice Intro, nothing more.
2. "That Ain’t Classy" - 7/10 Lead single, didn't like at first but really grew on me.
3. "High Maintenance" - 8/10 Nice laid back track, really like the hook.
4. "Unusual" (feat. Joe Budden) - 10/10 Really nice track, great hook, great beat. Best track on the album
5. "Danger Bay" - 7/10 Great sample from danger bay, really nice concept.
6. "Stay Cool" - 10/10 Chilly as fuck. Got this on repeat on a hot day.
7. "Passion" - 6/10...Beat and hook are kind annoying but class spits from the heart.
8. "Maybe It's Just Me" (feat. Brother Ali) - 7/10 Very cool track.
9. "Young Soul" - 10/10 Class samples RZA from Tearz here, really heart felt track. I think it's Saukrates on the hook here, very good job.
10. "Run With Me" 3/10 Really Not feeling it
11. "The Day Doesn’t Die" 7/10 This beat can get very reptitive, but the track is real nice, could even see it on the radio.
12. "They Don’t Know" (feat. Mic Boyd & White Mic) - 2/10 Garbo
13. "Step It Up" - 7/10 New MC's should listen to this, class spits some real advice. Another great concept track
14. "Desensitized" - 4/10 Nah
15. "The Hangover" - 10/10 (feat. Kayo & Jim Cuddy) - This is my shit, another chilled track, Perfect.

this album is 7/10. Some weak cuts but the good tracks make up for it.

I'm gonna say this is Classified 2nd best album behind Self Explanatory.

Don't sleep, classified stays underated.
