Rated 5/5
Review by symixosis Jan 27, 2008
One of the most underrated Hip Hop albums ever. In my opinion this is as close as you can get to a perfect Hip Hop album. Raw, pure, definition of real New York rap. DJ Premier at and Guru both at the peak of their respective games. Track after track of perfectly constructed minimalist sample-driven boom bap perfection. Definitely in my top 5 Hip Hop albums of all time. When people put albums by Dr. Dre and NWA and The DOC above albums like this, I have to question their understanding of what Hip Hop is SUPPOSED to sound like.
