The white boy is back!

Review Score: (10/10)
I bought this album earlier in the year before it hit the radio and MTV -- a friend of mine was listening to 'What It's Like' and I thought I'd give it a try. This album is great, and a nice change of pace from today's so-called hip-hop scene with drum machines and samples from everyone else's songs. Besides the well-known 'What It's Like', which has inspired me to learn to play the guitar before I die, my favorite songs are 'Hot to Death' because he sounds so damn ferocious, and 'Today (Watch Me Shine).' I just saw him in concert with the Roots a week ago and it was definitely off the hook, no question. This album makes you appreciate how far he's come from his days as the headman for House of Pain, although their first album is still worth revisiting from time to time. It's nice to see a white hip-hop artist who has a true sense of the music and can flow with it, using live instruments and scratching, as opposed to the self-conscious posing of other artists trying to appeal to everybody and satisfying nobody. Do your thing, Everlast!
