This was really tough for me as there isn't a bad song on this album IMO.

This was really tough. The rankings are pretty interchangeable. Everyday rhymes based in the philosophy of the "low end" (bass) is how I would describe this album.

As others have said, a difficult album to rank since it's so consistently good, smoothly flowing from one track to the next...
