Analog Brothers Delivers Futuristic Beats & Rhymes

""Pimp To Eat" brings space beats, out of control advanced lyrics, and an overall greatness. Kool Keith and Ice T of course are the highlights of this album. Keith brings his usual style of wacky, off the wall lyrics and Ice T changes his style from original gangster to space pimp. Silver Synth's futuristic-sounding voice also shines on this CD. There is nothing mainstream about this album, just 5 MCs coming together to make an album that probably won't be recognized until the year 2005.Bionic Oldsmobile, Country Girl, Silver Surfer vs. Analog Annihilator are three of the best tracks."
Analog Brothers make The Jetsons look like The Flintstones.

"If you thought Kool Keith's Dr. Octagon and Black Elvis was as "spaced-out" as it gets, then you my friend, thought wrong. Boys and girls, I give you, Analog Brothers Pimp to Eat. An "out-of-this-world" hip-hop adventure, where Star Trek and Stargate, are things of ancient history.If having the dangerously bizarre Kool Keith isn't enough to convince you Pimp to Eat is far off in left field, then maybe the exotic combination of both Kool Keith and the more cliched rapper Ice T will. In fact, Pimp to Eat is so far in left field, it's past the warning track. Equipped with Keith Korg, Ice Oscillator, Silver Synth, and Rex Roland, the Analog Brothers cook up quite a recipe, and boy is the outcome yummy. Analog Intro, to Analog Outro, the album itself does not dissatisfy. Pimp to Eat, is no classic such as the flawless Dr. Octagon and Dr. Dooom projects from Kool Keith, but if you're looking for that abstract flavor of hip-hop, this may be just as good. The production isn't up to par with Keith's other releases, which is the principal flaw with the album. Lyrically, Pimp to Eat is in a category of it's own. That could be good or bad, depending who's listening. I honestly thought Ice T would devalue the album with his predictable and mediocre rap style, but my unfaithfulness in Ice Oscillator proved to be a complete bombshell, as he ripped each and every track he spit on. The others (Keith Korg, Silver Synth, & Rex Roland) were on point as well. If you're looking for superbly produced hip-hop, then by all means turn away. If you can withstand second-rate instrumentals, laced with lyrics of that beyond your usual Kool Keith standard, look no further."
Ice-T & Kool Keith Are United At Last!

"Without a doubt, PIMP TO EAT is one of the best things to hit hip-hop in a long while. While these generic Bling-Bling'ers pop out their lil' innocuous pop s*$t, two of the kings have teamed up to show and prove with some very able upstarts along for the ride.Contrary to what some know-nothings have posted, Ice is Keith's equal (and more!) in every respect. I love Keith, but it's Ice's incredible presence on the mic which captivates. Vocal timbre in effect, y'all. Be amazed as Ice flips it high-tech ("Intro"), and then laces ya with that intense, yet cool drawl (the AWESOME "More Freaks").Here's hoping the Brothers reunite soon for a follow-up. Essential hip-hop for true headz. Don't sleep. . ."
I can dig it.

"Excellent disc here from the Analog Bros. Takin' waaaay back. Simple beats and nice flow - effortless between them, beautiful. Sensitive ladies (including your momma) may not like some of the lyrics... but what do you want with a title like this? Anyway, not a masterpiece, I say, because Keith can do better (and so can Ice-T) and I've heard better work from other artists this year. But I'm not going to sell it or anything and it's definitely in heavy rotation. If you dig on the hard rhymes, like Kool Keith/Ice-T, still yearn for the fat beats and aren't past the 808, well... buy the record."

"I was worried when i heard the first track. But the rest of the album comes hard. Keith is sick as always. Ice T was a pleasant suprise. I was skeptical about how good he could possibly be. But his rhymes on this album are raw. Beats are off the hook."
