"Mike Control is a great underground hip hop group, and another example of how if an MC has talent underground, he can spit what he wants and get the same respect no matter what race he is, unlike in mainstream rap where it is so uncommon and unnatural to see a white rapper. Enough of my critisism, let's get to praise. The verses written by the hip hop duo are cold and raw, and when they get on the mic, they don't hold back-they speak with intensity that isn't too common in rap these days, whether its mainstream OR underground. Mike Control is also very well-produced, serving raw beats to match the style and flow of the hard-hitting MCs rapping to them. I would give this a 5-star rating, but I have not yet heard all of the album. But from what I've heard so far, a 5 star rating wouldn't even be enough. Crazy sh*t."
