Lyrically, he was the west coast version of the great Rakim, with better production.
The album is solid with very little fast forwarding (only the interludes after you have heard them a few times).
It's unfortunate that he lost his voice in a car accident after this album, because there is no telling how far he could have gone as an artist.
Since the accident, he has had a successful career producing and writing for other artists and has been involved with many other classic west coast albums.
For those looking for a history lesson on the foundation of west coast rap, this record is a must have.
