"It has been said often that the hip hop underground yields some of the culture's greatest potential, but indeed turn out to be unworthy of commercial noteriety. Mood Pieces is a remarkable example of hip hop ingenuity and creativity, painting pictures with Rude's lyrical onslaught. Definitely this is a must have, not because it is a rarity, but because it is simply a great example of content and skill, which these days are hard to come by, unless delving into the underground catacombs. Abstract Rude has the talent of creating a mood that directly coincides with the subject of his song, any of which would be a good example. I am thoroughly impressed to say the least. Such intellect is appreciated and long awaited. Furthermore, I must point out that he is from the west coast, a place where hip hop was thought to be dead to the world...but I think we were the ones sleeping."
True hip hop, concious, fun to listen to

"Abstract rude and crew bring a very special and important album. Must purchase for hip hop fans who feel limited by the current state of hip hop. Nuff respect"
Tight lyrics, interesting production

"This album was one of the rawest I've heard in years. The production was astounding. Check out their other album South Central Thynk Tank!"
