While electronic beats and music are the prominent backing music in most hip-hop, it's rare to see it play such an important role as on this album. Rather than merely creating a simple backing beat, this album manages to create a true fusion of electronica and hip-hop, where the music and rapping are equally important, making it fresh-sounding.
Next to that, songs like 'Rick Rubin' and 'Bump' are extremely catchy and memorable, Bump featuring some of the most smooth and flowing raps of 2006. An overlooked gem, highly recommended.
