    Islah is a very close second. Gates might have mastered his style on Islah and it prolly has higher highs, but it's still got a little fat to trim and I feel like Stranger Than Fiction is everything great about him distilled down to a concise project.

    Also it has a Juicy J verse to cancel out the abysmal Wiz verse. What a loser.

    Can't argue against that. LB1 & 2 have a few songs that I could do without. There's not a single song on STF that I would remove.

    Pretty good project, Angels is top 3 Gates imo

    I'm a bit confused though, what Wiz verse?

    Satellites Remix, which I always assumed was a bonus track anyway cuz Don't Know What to Call It seems like the natural end.

    Mine ends with Angels, but I got it from Soulseek so who knows

    Wiz is hit or miss nowadays for me but I truly love his old stuff

    This new track he dropped is pretty good



    Waiting for the collab tape with Juicy J
