But saying that I “of course” don’t share the same feeling as you because of my WIFE’s taste in music is quite the reach.

Are you sure about that? Njeri is more than okay, she is a incredible emcee who can stand on her own. You have something against female emcees or something?

However, scratch underneath the surface (no pun) and the songs on this album were great. You didn't like 1112, High Price for Small Reward or the title track?
