What Makes This So Special?
That is a poor question to ask about this album, I mean what DOESNT make this album special? A rap artist who uses old Nintendo sounds for his beats while he raps about Street Fighter and other old school video games? What else do you need? Its pretty awesome when you hear sounds that you recognize in the beat, and the whole album is easy to grove too. His style is awesome, the references and nods to nerd culture he gives through out the album never get old, "What can I do to make it better for you?" "Make me a sandwich while I play Street Fighter II." Pure win. It's almost sad that music this good is going unplayed.

The only thing that I can hold against this album is that at times the music can over power the vocals, although it is rare it does happen and its a bit annoying. Still the album is amazing and you should go buy it, now.

Why Rolling Stone (Probably) Didn't Put This On The List.
He dosen't sing about how much money and stuff he has enough.
