"Ill & Al Scratch were 2 MC's that helped immortalize that NYC, Boom-Bap sound of the early/mid '90's. There compatibility, stage pressence and chemistry are unsurpassed! They're like a smooth version of M.O.P, or a ghetto version of Nice & Smooth. There flow just complimented each other, they were dope! They were smooth, yet rugged! Pimps, but ghetto! There routines and style were off the hook! They had that classic old skool flare, they were so unique and original! nothing or no one sounds like this, or ever did. The "Uptown/B'klyn connection" is a slept on master-piece. A must have for real Hip-Hop heads!"
Classic? YES

"As far as I'm concerned, the people giving this album 1 or 2 stars, although they are entitled to their opinion, I think they may be suffering from some kind of mental illness which is affecting their judgement. This is one of the best hip hop albums from 94...if fact I can say I've never heard a hip hop album that sounds as expansive as this one, on the beats/production front, without losing any of that tightness and hard sound in the beats. It is truely an awesome listening experience, and the emceeing isn't fantastic but it doesn't spoil the beats, and thats almost as much as you can ask for...Don't sleep. If you like mid 90s hip hop then buy this album."
Without question......A Classic.

"Some things are victim to opinion. This masterpiece isn't one of them. Regardless of anyones opinion or their entitlement to it, this entire album is a bonafide 100%, hip-hop treasure. Period, end of story."

"What started off as a song by Ill featuring Al Skratch on "Where My Homiez? (Come Around My Way)" turned out being an entire album and a group. Creep Wit' Me is an LP that has appeal for mainstream, but the fall lies in the duo making all songs interlink as if they are remixes of each other. "I'll Take Her" featuring Brian McKnight deserves a star all its own with a smooth feel. The chemistry of the two is felt with "Chill With That" and "The Brooklyn Uptown Connection" with a tag team efforts and rougher sound. Each has solo songs where Al Skratch's raspy flow is a lot sounder than his partners. "Where My Homiez? (Come Around My Way)(Dub Version)" featuring Mike Real and "Get Dough" featuring LRC & Zoundwavez actually crippled the already potential of this album. The production by The LG Experience & Lowrider is good and worthy of recognition with maybe some other mainstream R&B or Hip-hop / rap act."
