"honestly, this album gets 3 1/2 stars from me...and I've been a lifelong canibus fan...his problem lies in his focus...my favorite canibus albums are mic club, 2000 bc and rip the jacker...can-i-bus was a disaster, as was c-true hollywood stories and mind control...hip-hop for sale is decent, dont get me wrong...but his focus is in the wrong direction...yeah, he is all about making an anti-bling cd using the bling (cover art)...but in the process, he does sound very commercial, and with a handful of lame chorus hooks and subject matter choices, his potential is failed to be reached once again...that is...until the team-up with phoenix orion...def con zero is a better option...however, if you like canibus solo efforts, than I am sure you've been with him project to project...but hip-hop for sale is decent...nothing special."

"This is a pretty solid release from Canibus. As others have said, production isnt the best it could be. In my opinion Rip The Jacker (Canibus' release previous to this in 2003) is a much better album overall, especially the production from Stoupe. (who didnt do this album).

On this release Canibus' lyrics have dumbed down a little, it seems to me that he may be doing sort of what Cam'ron did when he signed to Rocafella; Making the lyrics simpler and the subject matter generic. Sell out move or not, you decide. Overall its an above average album, and a good listen. Support your boy hes hungry"
