 Maybe the most underrated MC ever. Jan 20, 2009
I can't believe that I was so slow getting up on Consequence. The pedigree alone (ran with his cousin Q-tip, produced by Kanye) should have tipped me off. It continues to amaze me that cats like this get overlooked while we hear the same old crap 30 times a day.
Bottom line, do you love that real hip-hop? Then get it.
true MC master class Jan 08, 2009
for those who love the lost art of rap, this CD provides a masterful example of the classic lyricist who can flat-out out-rhyme just about any contemporary rap artist you can name. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have production and appearances by Kanye West, either. Best example? "The Good, the Bad, the Ugly."

 Inconsequential {3 Stars} Mar 26, 2007
Let me just say that this isn't a 2 star album, but it isn't a 5 star album either. While I agree that some of the production lacks punch, a lot of it is decent. Kanye handles the lionshare and he sets 'Quence up with some okay beats, but a lot of them are repetitive. Another problem is that there's no charisma on this joint -- 'Quence sounds bored on a lot of the tracks. You can't put a bored artist on repetitive beats and that's pretty much what this album attempts to do. When he pumps up the adrenaline, he pumps out some goood songs. "Don't Forget 'Em", "Who Knew My Luck Would Change", "Job Song", "Grammy Family", and "The Good The Bad The Ugly" are all tracks worth hearing. The trick is staying put long enough to get to these songs. I'll give him this much, he can ride beats very well. No matter how they sound. A lot of rappers today seem to have trouble with that.
As far as flaws go, there are a few joints that fell under skip material for me -- "Pretty Little Sexy Mama", "Disperse" (I forget the sample used here, but Cru used it on "Just Another Case" much better), "Uncle Rahiem", "Callin' Me" and quite a few others. Like most have already mentioned, "Feel This Way" sounds more like a John Legend song featuring 'Quence and "Night Night" is mad corny. Another beef I have with this LP, and most albums that Kanye releases, are the excessive, uneccesary, and stupid skits. They're wack. Also, the album begins to unravel somewhere toward the middle of it. You will find most of the skip material there.
Don't Quit Your Day Job is a decent release. It's weighed down by the amount of skip material, but the good songs are really good. It's not the worst thing you've ever heard, but it won't blow you away either. I just expected more from someone that's been doing this for over 10 years. I have to recommend buying this one used.
Standout Tracks: Who Knew My Luck Would Change, Feel This Way feat. John Legend, Don't Forget 'Em, Job Song, The Good The Bad The Ugly feat. Kanye West, Grammy Family feat. DJ Khaled, Kanye West, & John Legend
