Title: don't sleep
Review: this is probably the surprise record of 2002. a straight 5/5. beats are solid and creative. lyrics are dope too. a mostly upbeat/heartfelt album. peep 'seven years', an ode to count's wife over a beautiful beautiful beat. the album is a true end to end burner, no tracks that need to be skipped. plenty diversity that always retains freshness.and the count is definitely in the right frame of mind, a musical frame of mind. take the intro track for instance... 'jussa playa'. in the commercial rap world, that would be player in the womanizing sense...but the count is talking about the piano. yet he manages to escape the conceptions of popular rap and still make and album that could (if they actually heard it) appeal to the mainstream as well as the underground, where it is obviously getting its just props. a top 5 of 2002 in my book.
