...fall off rhythm. As a result, the majority of the tracks on the album resemble each other too closely. Two tracks stood out, mainly because they resembled other artists' work. Anyone who heard Missy Elliott's summer release will be furious upon hearing C. O. G.'s futuristic "Intro." But if nothing else, C. O. G. has a good sense of what they should be.
