Believe the hype

"I feel, that the review "don't believe the hype" is unjust to this album. To say that mix master mike is getting worldwide recognition for dj'ing with the beastie boys, is untrue. He was (and still is) a phenomenal dj way before he and the b-boys got together. Winning at the DMC's as well as modernizing the way one manipulates the turntable. This album can of course get repetitive, but singles aren't always the most interesting things to buy. There are occasionally a bad mix and there are very few songs on these smaller albums. Singles are not usually a person's top albums. However, eventhough fellow ISP member, Q-bert, is a phenomenal dj who puts out dazzling albums, his success and style is in great part due to MMM. So, the hype is real, mix master is a phenomenal dj. He is and will always be one of the greatest dj's ever. His sense of tone manipulation and musicality puts him that one step further then q-bert, who is more techinique (perfect technique mind you) than musicality."
