This album is even worse than his first album, and his first album only had like one or two good s..." [+] Reply

Earl continues to have one of the most assured flows of any rapper of his generation. 4. It is the perfect length based on how short the ..." [+] Reply

"I picked up guitar when I first heard In A Little While, and I haven't looked back since. I've always had a special place in my heart for this album for that reason, and I hope one day I can thank the Edge for changing my life." Reply
