Banner doesn't wait to get right into the thick of it, kicking off his album with the scolding "So Long" and a clip of him calling this generation a bunch of "cowards." Over a palpitating beat, Banner tackles the hypocrisy of America by spitting lines like, "It's never justice for blacks, but they send just us to Iraq." Later on the album, he raps acapella on "Freedom (Interlude)," dropping knowledge like, "George Bush is part of a bigger problem / All America loves hate, man, they'll never stop it," while he contemplates childhood in the Mississippi hood on "I Get By," a Carl Thomas-assisted track on which Banner snarls, "Sugar on some white bread, roaches on the wall / On the weekend, all day, walkin' through the mall."
But while Banner does have some interesting things to say and takes some responsibility for his fellow rappers' ignorance, he fills his album with degrading tracks towards women and gangsta talk, undercutting the impact that this record could have potentially had. "A Girl," for example, shows him doing a lackluster impersonation of Ying Yang Twins, whispering on the track, "You can dig like a horse, you can ride on out / This is what you get when you come down South" and chanting on the chorus "Let me see those panties on the floor."
