    This album was so underwhelming as a lot of the tracks seemed the same to me. The first half was definitely weaker than the second though. I think Vince is a lot more of a feature rapper and can't really carry out a totally cohesive project that won't lose me half way through. I wish there was more to this album. It's too late Charmi.

    I don't understand 'a genious' of this guy. This album sounds terrible. Staples's flow is tragic. Maybe a production in a few tracks is OK. 2/10, don't like this.

    When it's a;l said and done, Summertime '06 will be remembered as one of--if not solely--2015's best. [Jun-Jul 2015, p.87]

    Summertime '06 is extremely cohesive, but occasionally tiptoes on being monotonous.

    Splitting this weighty and rich effort into digestible chunks, the album's physical release comes on two separate discs, making Summertime '06 an artistic triumph wrapped in conceptually fitting package.
