"Before all these Em fans start writin me death threats please try and understand my review. I agree with all of you, when they were beefin back in forth with the diss records I was on Em's side 100%. Slim smashed him for real. Much Respect. The reason that I'm givin this 4 stars is that this IS a complete gangsta rap record. There are a wide variety of beats and topics with amazing guest artists. I do understand that a weaker rapper will surround himself by greater wordsmiths, I'm still not going to take him down for that. He is a fan first and it shows. If you are a fan of rap or can look past the beefin you might enjoy this as much as I did."

"For his solo debut, Benzino does an alright job, mostly the guest list (which is huge) is what makes the album better. Being around for years with teh Almighty RSO and Made Men he had somewhat of a name for himself, not to mention his psition with the Source magazine, but his flow and rapping are average at best, like I said the guests make the album. It has 1 classic, 9 good songs, 4 are ok and 3 I skip. Every song but 2 has a gust or guests on it. Production is pretty good, mostly handled by Hangmen 3, who did all but 4 songs. Teddy Riley did 2, Puff Dady and Tone & Poke each did 1. anice album for his fans and his bes of his first 2, I still don't have "Arch nemesis".
