I don't mind LL's street stuff....but i really like his current stuff. He's a family man who's been doing this forever. To talk like he's in the streets everyday would be phoney. I just like hearing LL record stuff i can relate 2 from the 1st track 2 the last. The lyrics are straight forward and something that kids can listen 2 as well which i admire alot. I don't mind if he gets gritty for another album, but i don't want the lyrics 2 get explict. U can hear explict stuff anywhere.
The production on The DEFinition covers all bases...straight Hip-Hop (Feel The Beat), R-N-B love joint (Hush), slick commercial track (Rub My Back), club banger (Headsprung), ghetto-fab party joint (Move Somethin'), straight lyrical joint, (1 In Da Morning). Like all great artists, there's more 2 the album than the singles.
LL is just a standard 4 what a legend should be in my opinion. I can't wait 2 see the video again. I think it's flawless.
