"THIS RECORD IS UNIQUE, CREATIVE, AND INTELLIGENT. YOU HAVEN'T HEARD HIP-HOP LIKE THIS BEFORE.Don't listen when a Norwegian criticizes this album. You have to have a handle on the English language before you can appreciate the different levels of meaning in the lyrics. I've listened to this record more than I care to estimate, and I still hear new things or lyrics that I didn't catch before.The whole album is brilliant; some lyrics border on creative genius. The beats are killer. Everytime I listen to it I wish that I knew how to play the drums. The other instrumentation is what really makes this album unique though. It's got some Spanish style and jazzy stuff that really sets it apart from the crowd. If you're looking for the very best in hip-hop (Christian or otherwise), you're going to want to buy this one."
They have done it again...

"...I am always afriad Christian artists will deteriorate or won't improve upon their previous albumns. Ill harmonics gave me hope! The albumn is awesome and you really need to buy the CD to get the full impact of how good their tunes are on the new cut. You can tell these guys have spent some serious time in the studio. Once again, I am very impressed and really look forward to getting my hands on anything Blake or Plato put out in the future; look for the solos also coming soon. ----->lAtE"
Amazing hip-hop band

"I have to say that this band is amazing. I was very skeptical to listen to a Christian hip-hop band but these guys blew me away. My church had them come for a concert and when they took the stage I was amazed. Their style reminds me of The Roots and Black Eyed Peas put together. They are clearly one of the better hip-hop acts out today, Christian or not. More people need to know about these guys so they keep putting out records."
A Masterpiece

"This is a great album. Easily the best Christian hiphop album, and one of the best hiphop albums ever. There are so many great songs, but every song is good. My favorite tracks are: Take Two, The Crowd is Standing, Cats Like these, Gypsy Kind, & What We Do, although I love every song. The lyrics, beats, rapping, & instrumentals are all excellent. The lyrics are outstanding, a lot more than your average "Yo yo clubbin with shorty and my homeboyz" crap. This album is a lot better than their first album, although it was good. Ill Harmonics keep it real yet funky. Playdough is a sweet emcee and Blake Knight is good too. Blake Knight actually sounds alot like Guru from Gang Starr. Take Two is an excellent LP that every hiphop fan should own."

"This Album is quite a listening. Many songs i liked at first listen and there are only a couple of songs that arent as -quality- as the others. Dont Worry bout what Hans Ivar Stordal said. I agree about what he said about Blake Knight, he isnt the best Emcee but he isnt the worst either. Playdough is a champion, an awesome Emcee who really rocks his own style which suits his voice. They have improved alot from their first album and i would recommend this to anyone. As to their first album they use alot of guitar which is different to your usual. As people in Australia like myself, who cant get the album of the shelf, if you like playda, its a diffenite buy off amazon[.com] or off http://www.uprokrecords.com Take it easy"
