"This album by Big Mike is his best work since Something Serious. He, along with Scarface, have been the best rappers on Rap A Lot label. But once again this album will go with out notice if you don't live in the south. But make no mistake about, if you like hard core rap, this is a must buy."
Hard to hit

"hard to hit is one of tightest cd to me and my partnaz. the beats are big and hardcore. the lyrics are complex and quicc. It's a shame the real don't get props as a lot of succaz. big mike has grownup lyrics but stay true to the streets at the same time stay'n true to himself. one of the trillest tapes i've heard in a long time. the whole tape is a hit. i would tell you all the cut but i don't have it. when i go to get it i will be my third copy. and when i lose that or get beat for it i will get it again."
4.5 Star album for Big Mike's 3rd - My favorite of his

"After almost 2 years Big Mike is back with my favorite of his 3 albums. The other 2 still get 4 stars but I think this one is a little better. Packed with 20 songs, 4 are classics, 1 is almost classsic material, 2 I skip, and the other 13 are good or great songs. Guests are on about 8 of the songs so you get a good deal of Big Mike. Production is rather good as well, Mike Banks does 7 songs, the always great Mike Dean does 5 and the equally solid Mr. Lee does 6, Mike Dean & Mr. Lee collaborate for 2 as well. Lyrics are typical Big Mike - alot of gangsta songs w/ hard beats and some slower mor erelaxing ones as well. A great album, to have for fans of Big Mike or someone who wants to hear a real gangsta from the south, not one of them candy cupcake rappers that's on the radio all day!

"The hardest hit on here is track 15 "How You Want It" featuring Outlawz & Grudge. Admittingly I've heard better from the ex Geto Boys member on his first solo Somethin' Serious. I use this to let it beat in my trunk. I hate to be so down on Big Mike, but some of the production seems unfinished and or too much like they were being rushed. His lyrics come to the rescue with "Heads Like Us" and "Better Now" featuring Devin & MC Breed. Enough playing get that Big Mike Somethin' Serious, because it is."
