I didn't read that link earlier but I saw Lupe's name and I read this post on his website earlier about why he likes Lil B

Why do people give a **** what lupe fiasco thinks? Omg lupe said this about obama. He hasn't cemented himself as a prolific rapper yet, it would be different if it was like Chuck D.

The album is good, but i still have mixed feelings about it.

Its really cohesive, solid unified sound. But being random and contradictory was something i liked about lil b. The production is really good too-not relying on a glossy pop synth sound which have resulted in B's hits (ellen degeres, wonton soup, i cook) in favor of beats more in line with illusions of grandeur but more soulful, and less indie.

Lil B proves himself as being poignant, with a lot to say, especially on "open thunder eternal slumber", however because of this he has toned himself way down. His humour isn't as obnoxious (you won't here the word swag) and he no longer is touting himself as the "pretty bitch." His off-beat humor and rampant bastardization of rap cliche's (" ****ing ho's face because i have a big chain") is, for the most part, missing.

This is probably a smart move however, distancing himself from Odd Future and Kreayshawn. He also sincerely wants to be a role model it sounds like, strangely enough. It's a refreshing change to hear that considering most rappers get pissed off at the notion.

The album is good, and i think will sway previous haters. However it isn't as fun and wild as i had come to expect, especially following bitch mob.

Does the itunes version list the producers for this?

It has nothing to do with seniority.
