5.0 out of 5 stars
Solid effort., February 9, 2009
This is a strong LP and if you take the time to listen to this album you will like most of the stuff you hear. The album, with the exception of one or two tracks is Cappadonna's best work since the Pillage.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Another classic from Cappadonna, March 5, 2009
Cappadonna returns with his 5th solo album, and after taking a 5 year hiatus he dropped 2 albums in a 6 months span. Like th other review said, this is his best work since his classic 1998 solo debut, "The Pillage", and this one is also a classic. His "Yin & Yang" and "Cappaptilize Project" are lower 4 star albums and I'd give his "Struggle" a 4 star rating as well, but a notch above the other 2. On this one you get 16 songs (and 2 acapella freestyles), of the 16, 3 are classics, 1 is a near classic, 1 is ok, and the other 11 are good, with quite a few being really good songs. Guests are a little heavy, on 9 of the 16 songs, but it's nice to hear Cap again after his long break. Production is very nice as well. Digem Trax does 5 songs, 3rd Diglah and Q Dini each do 2, Rush, N.E.S., B.T., Soul Professor, Blastah Beats, G-Clef and Chicargo all do 1 song. A must have album and I'd venture to say will be a top 10 album of 2009, probably top 5.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Really average, July 7, 2009
lyrically it's okay and some of the beats are wack some favorites
-Walk with me (only song that get's stuck in my head it really grew on me)
-Do you remember )nice beat okay ryhmes(
-lifes a gamble cappadonna verse doesn't really match up with rae's verse but good song
-What's really up (cappa goes hard on this track but isn't that memable it's on this list beacause i've listened to this album like 10 times)
-Sombody Got To GO (read someone who said that the horns make it hard to hear capp....it's still a hot beat and one of the best songs lyrically on the album)
-Fire (masta killa verse is good but i just like the beat and the intro)
-Stay shinning (good struggling song pretty good verses
I say listen to it first before buying but it's still pretty good
