Top Tier

"This album is top tier. It really is a shame that because this album didn't drop until the end of the golden age of rap that it tends to be overlooked. This album predates the ugliness that rap has become. The bragadocio that is the essence of Hip Hop is present minus the violent, overly compensative arrogance of the "Clear Channel" rappers. Production and presentation are a blend of old school East Coast and late 80's-90's West. Smart, humorous Lyrics highlight this eclectic masterpiece. I can't say enough about this album. This album belongs in the pantheon of rap albums, recorded by a 15 year old artist decades ahead of his time. This album represents an art form in its final throws of genius, a final entry in the journal of a lost generation."
One of da great classics in hip hop history

"One of the most slept on albums in the history of rap. Listen to the clever wordplay and metaphors in songs like The Mission, Think about it, and the classic I got it made and you can see why Special Ed was nice. The entire album is excellent overall and true hip hop fans should have this one in their collection."
