The Water is just lame. Few standout tracks. Average beats. Weak features except when Joey Bada$$ destroys on the last track and Mick has to change his whole thing just to keep up. Uninteresting theme and lyrics, very little stands out as unique. Weak hooks. It's just a very average project. The hype surrounding it is completely unwarranted.

a few of these could go either way but it's just my opinion that they are slightly more interesting than what Mick presented with his project.
