    Was listening to this yesterday. Such a great album front to back. His rapping is probably at his strongest on here, but I prefer Islah.

    8.5/10

    8/10

    Most accessible Gates project next to ISLAH. It's a good project all around and is a little more cohesive than people give it credit for. It also holds some of Gates' best rapping in my opinion as well, it's evident on Plug Daughter, Perfect Imperfection, and In My Feelings. Compared to LB1, it's great tracks are not as great.

    Overall, it's a solid project and a good introduction to Gates if you have never listened to him before.

    I got 6 jobs, I don't get tired.

    well rounded album features most sides of Kevin Gates
    emotional, ignorant, and inspirational.
    8.5/10

    7.8

    It's probably the easiest project of his to digest, there's a good amount of excellent songs on here and in usual Gates fashion there's rarely ever a moment of dullness. My score isn't really reflective of how I really feel about it, but he does have better projects that I hold in high regard.

    This is how I feel. LB2 is great but when compared to other tapes of his, it doesn't stack up as high.

    For some reason I just can't say 10/10 but definitely 9.5, there's not one weak track on this. I knew of Gates prior to this but it really got me into his music.

    That would actually be an interesting project to do. I'm tryina switch up decades more since we've done so much 2010s stuff but if I don't do WG next it'll be in the next few.

    8.2/10, some really great songs on here and wonderful production. I prefer LB1 to this but both are great tapes.

    8/10. Also think Luca Brasi 1 has the slight edge but LB2 just bangs front to back. That flashy but simultaneously grimy production just suits his gravelly flow so well. I DONT GET TIRED

    interested to see some 00's 50 Cent/G Unit era ratings

    Wave Gods
    Purple Haze
