Query: Not as good as I had hoped

As a HUGE fan of the Pete Rock and CL Smooth duo, I was hoping for more of the same from Pete Rock's solo debut. Unfortunately, he disappears from the album early on and provides only an occasional verse here and there. This album might be better titled as a hip-hop compilation produced by Pete Rock since about 3/4 of the rhyming is done by guest rappers.In any case, I'm sure my expectations were much too high for this album which is why I was pretty disappointed. All in all, it isn't bad, but doesn't contain any of the infectious beats and intelligent lyrics that were the trademark of his past work with CL.
