    Decent album a little drawn out though if he had made it only one disk then I would give it an 8. Also didn't enjoy some of the chorus's very much especially Loca.

    Being a Vince Staples fan I was anticipating this a lot. Unfortunately, he compromised his sound on this LP. He is trying to be someone he isn't and it's disappointing.

    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.
