Great Flow, Intelligent Lyrics!
You couple those two things together with tight beats and you got a good record! This release by Shawn is one of the few good rap records that Emusic actually has, they need more legit hip-hop!

One of the Best? Hip-Hop needs help
There is nothing smart about this album, the beats are consistently routine, the lyrics inspire little emotion...BLAH!
One of the best hip-hop CDs of the year so far
Solid from beginning to end. If you are a fan of EMC, Little Brother and smart hip hop with the beats and rhymes of that type, DEFINITELY pick up this CD. "First of All" has the makings of being an underground classic. THE remedy for commercial, mainstream and boring hip-hop. This will stick with you 6 months or more long after the others have burned out from overexposure.
