    Very dope release by Raekwon. Pretty good lyrics and alright beats. But just wish there was more Wu on it and or not so much guest appearances. But none the less, album is dope.

    IMO alright beats with pretty good lyrics don't deserve 5/5, some beats were cool, but damn, the lyrics were the shitty ones about this album for real...chef from '92 - '01 some great material, and with this one he fell off a bit...its just like all other average mainstream releases---Once Upon a Time is maybe the only 5/5 trak on it, for real....is it just me or this album just ain't what we were all expecting...

    IDK, its a 2.5/5 ...it's a so-so

    Ice Water, and the production on a couple tracks, were really the only issues I had with this album. Otherwise, it was tight to me.

    Not a completely terrible album, but nothing about it makes it worth listening to when there's so many far far better albums to choose from.

    Ice Cream Pt.II was horrific. What the fuck was Rae thinking?

    How the fuck can y'all rate this as a 4/5 or even higher. Lex Diamond Story was a weak effort from Rae both lyrically and on the production tip, it only had 2 real bangers; "Once Upon a Time" and "Smith Bros". Damn I was so dissapointed with this release and Rae used to be my favorite MC in the Clan.

    2.Pit Bull Fights - 4/5
    4.King Of Kings - 3/5
    5.Missing Watch - 4/5
    6.All Over Again - 3/5
    7.Clientele Kidd - 3.5/5
    8.Smith Bros - 5/5
    9.Resturant (Skit)
    10.Robbery - 1/5
    12.Pa-Blow Escablow - 3.5/5
    13.Musketeers Of Pig Alley - 3/5
    14.Ice Cream Pt. 2 - 0/5
    15.The Hood - 3/5
    17.Planet Of The Apes - 2/5
    18.Wyld In Da Club - 1/5
    19.Once Upon A Time - 5/5

    Overall: 3/5
