Mixtape Fridays

I started not to listen to this one.  But I was curious to see how Mr. Bentley was spending the "Diddy" money he earned; furthermore, this was his original album that was supposed to drop in 2008.  You can argue about his level of rhyme skills (he's better than I thought) but the beats on this one are banging, many sounding as if they were produced by Organized Noize (they're all in ATL- possible). With features from Cool Breeze,Slim Cutta Calhoun, Andre 3000, and Kanye West and the title track featuring UGK and Lil Wayne- this turned out to be a solid project. In the words of Mr. West:

"When everyone's rapping one way, he comes with an original style all the way from his patterns-on-beats to his fashion sensibility. What's known need not be said, but Bentley is a motherf**** star!"
