"Don't be mistaken, this 17 track record is not an album! It's an EP! Out of the 17 tracks, only 7 are real songs (they are good songs however). The remaining 10 tracks are all interludes and a few instrumentals. If you want a more complete album by the MJ's, check out their newest LP "Black Sands Ov Eternia"."

STRONG BUT NOT THEIR BEST

"This is, after all, an EP/mix tape affair, not a full-length album, showcasing recording from their world tour....but it's still the Mystik Journeymen, which means it's some of the most innovative and enjoyable stuff on the market....support the underground and do yourself a favor, buy this album and The Black Sands Ov Eternia. Peace."

Hip Hip in its purest form

"I won't front and say that I've been a fan of MJM since the beginning, but ever since I heard these 2 fellas bless the mic a year ago, I've been hooked. MJM definatley won't appeal to everyone. Only fans of underground hip hop will like this album. The lyrics are conscious and meaningful and the beats are stripped down, yet uniquely absract. While "Worldwide Underground" is arguably not their best album, it still will please 'backpackers' and nearly anyone with an ear for real hip-hop. My only real complaint about the album is all of the interludes included. I've never liked interludes on an album (except for De La Soul's), so I'm not saying that MJM's interludes are wack, I'm saying interludes are wack in general and usually end up as filler, or in other words, a reason for me to keep my finger hovering over the fast forward button. MJM has about 6 EP's and albums out, but they are very hard to get your hands on, due to limited distribution. Just about the only place to order them is at their self titled website. Also check albums by for Living Legends, which is a conglomorate crew (much like Hieroglyphics) which MJM are members of."
