I'm not sure about this one. I thought it was decent, but didn't compare to their debut. Evidence was rather weak on the album, but babu still held it strong.
Just Keith's work with the Ultramagnetic MC's is worth all of his praise. Plus his done alot to advance the world of the hip hop. Although he may not be as fresh and innovative as some of the guys coming out today, he's still a big figure. Without him, alot of these guys wouldn't be able to do what they do.
