both

I think New Day and That's My b---- should've been flipped (n----s->Otis->Gotta Have It is such a fun run that TMB would've fit well with; New Day sort of grinds that to a halt, great though it may be).

And I personally think Lift Off either should've been polished or cut entirely, and a bonus track or two should've made their way onto the tracklist, Illest MFer Alive being the most egregious omission. You could argue for cutting Made In America as well and I wouldn't be terribly bothered.

Aside from those quibbles, it remains one of the most purely enjoyable albums of the past decade.
