I didn't like When Life Gives You Lemons at first because I thought it was overproduced (still kind of do), but it has grown on me and is now one of my favorite hip-hop albums. I still think Lucy Ford is their best work, though. Spot-on analysis.

But some of the lines on this album really seem to understand how crappy things can be for women; and that is a VERY rare thing to hear in hip hop.

You nailed it: the blues, but that post-industrial, collapsing capitalism blues, that wtf now blues that hits everybody in the empty pill bottle. you so right about that novel. the great american novel of the 21st century may well be an underground hip hop album, somewhere, in some body's trunk...
