AKA Mr. Lee's contributions. I was surprised to see, though, how generic and average his beats on the ABN album were. “3 Kings, Diamondz, Boys n Blue.”

Thing is none of those are Neptunes beats. Classic example of trying to switch up your sound for the mainstream and failing. Slim Thug’s record had some jams. 3 Kings, Diamondz, Boys n Blue.

You miss nothing if you've never heard it. PMW was WACK and most of this album was filler, cookie cutter Neptunes beats. You miss nothing if you’ve never heard it.

(Except for the title track and 'Like A Boss.' And maybe 'I Ain't Heard Of That' on a good day.) Mr. Lee's contributions were great.
