"Sean Price's sophomore solo effort, Jesus Price Supastar, is the first notable hip-hop release of the year; and he doesn't dissapoint in providing the lonely month of January with an outstanding effort. Price's first album, Monkey Barz, was definitely the standout release of the three BCC albums that were meant to bring Duck Down records back to relevance, surprassing mediocre records from hip-hop legends like Smif-N-Wessun, and a dream-team consisting of Buckshot & 9th Wonder. Some may state that the reason Sean succeeded so well on Monkey Barz is because he took the common man approach; something only one other emcee(a man whose name coincidentally rhymes with Price's) have ever taken up the representation of. Sean Price wasn't attempting some type of Obie Trice gimmick infringement though; dude was just being real. It's rare to find an emcee who boasts about being 'the brokest rapper alive,' but these claims only add to Price's appeal.



It's no surprise that Sean P spent a good amount of time touring with Ghostface last year, because Jesus Price Supastar is quickly becoming the Fishscale of 2007; a dope album released early in the year, that is almost sure to go on everyone's top ten list when '07 draws to a close. Though there's still eleven months left to go, it's hard to imagine that there'll be ten other albums released this year to trump Jesus Price's amazing sophomore effort. While Sean P's debut was an outstanding album, it takes a rare breed of emcee to release a second album even iller than their first. Another similarity P-Body's newest release shares with Ghostface's Fishscale is the indy dream-producing team; 9th Wonder, Khrysis, and even Pete Rock all contribute beats to the album, and each producer gives the perfect backdrop to Sean's nasty street tales. The majority of the guests are, unsurprisingly, BCC members and Justus League affiliates, and they all drop some hot bars on their respective spots.



While Monkey Barz was undoubtedly a hot release, Jesus Price Supastar is indefinitely superior. The rhymes are tighter, the punchlines are harder, and the beats are suave; I hate to compare Sean P to Ghostface again, but he's clearly following in his footsteps, as he is hands down the most visible, and consistent, member of the Boot Camp Clik, similar to how Ghost is with the Wu. On his debut, Sean may've been nothing more than a chimp; but on Jesus Price Supastar, there's no argument in giving him the crown of King Kong."

Straight like 9:15

"Sean Price: Jesus Price Superstar



What can I say? Hot rhymes, dope beats. To let you know what type of jack move this album is on, one line, among many, that particularly sticks out: 'Lie to the cops and tell the truth in the booth, instead you tell the truth to the cops and lie in the booth'...umm....album is basically packed with non-boring wordplay like this and hot beats. What more could you ask for? Lot of people wanna know if this album is as hot as Monkey Bars? Truth is: they are 2 different albums that can't even be compared. What makes this album stand out from Monkey Bars is it's 100 times harder and more creative than Monkey Bars. Sophmore Slump? Not over here. . If you want to hear someone that can still rap, do yourself a favor and pick this up? Sean Price is the Ghostface of the Boot Camp Click. True heads will know what I mean by this statement."

Wu-Tang Clan aint nothing to F**k wit, Boot Camp Clik aint n

"Sean Price has proven once again that he is a big force in Hip Hop. Just from listening to his older work as Ruck and his New work as Sean Price, you can tell he has always had great respect and understanding for hip hop. Even with all of the "New Rappers" that seem to be able to get money by making dance instructional videos and basicly taking the easy way out, Price has never switch up his style He is a lyrical mad man and this is evident on songs like "P-Body" and "One" another way he has been able to connect with the listeners is by not being afraid to tell the real story. You can take a look into his world of failure when listening to "Mess You Made" and he also brings back that good old punch you in our face and then laugh at you style with the song "Church" which features his crime partner Rock. This album is a MUST have, so start typing your credit card numbers in and cop this album."
