    Once you listen, you'll never be able to look at rap's landscape the same way again.

    [Blueprint's] malevolent wit, distinctive delivery, and sinister take on the world finds a lyrical equivalent to RJD2's brooding beats.

    Stories is that rarest of rap LPs: trend-resistant and, therefore, timeless. [Dec 2003, p.87]
