    There's so many layers to TPAB that's why I love it so much. I unravel something new each time I hear it

    For Free ties in with Life Is A Traffic Jam, which ties in with Ab Soul's Outro
    The Blacker The Berry ties in with Keep Ya Head Up
    The allusions and connections in this album to black music, 2Pac, KDot's past work, and other things are just great
