			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-132" title="Epic-1 - Good Enough" src="http://nerdlust.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/epic-1_cover.png" alt="Epic-1 - Good Enough" width="600" height="600" /> I have to appreciate the honesty in naming this release.  The accuracy of &#8220;Good Enough &#8211; Collabs and B-Sides&#8221; comes through in the inconsistent quality of the release.  But don&#8217;t take that as a condemnation of the entire work; there are some note-worthy moments balancing out the skip-worthy ones.</p>
<p>My only strong complaint about this release is how far it goes into modern rap territories of violence and misogyny.  I understand these are character portrayals, but I still find it unpleasant and fail to find the humor in it that others do.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Basically it&#8217;s just the b-sides that wont be making my next pressed album, I actually asked the producers who contributed for throwaway beats to make this one.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Fair enough.  With that sort of expectation in place, even the occasional so-so production and sometimes &#8220;meh&#8221; lyrics in this teaser release, it can still be considered overall &#8220;good enough&#8221;.</p>
