"My favorite part of this, is the introduction of how racist it is that our society labels anyone with ANY black blood as black, and to be "white" you have to be pure blood. What a load of crap - God bless Chuck D." Reply

"Second time's the charm, I guess. How could I possibly have been so wrong? This is a masterpiece. A FRIKEN MASTERPIECE. I don't know. I guess I was in the right mood today. It just... it sounds SO GOOD. His voice and the guitars and the energy and emotion... it's mind-boggling. And that album cov..." Reply
