"Some don't like this one as much as their others, but I think it's a great album. It might even be my favorite by them. The sound is mostly electronic and there are a lot of great beats and grooves here."  Reply

"Might be one of the best production on an hip hop album ever alongside illmatic, college dropout and MBDTF. The self-titled track is one of my top 10 hip hop song of all time and it's a must listen for every hip hop fan. Top 10 hip hop album of all time, IMO. Rip Guru"  Reply
