    Har Mar Superstar is the only way to make a Northern Star album worse than it already is. They need to change the album title to "All Sh*tty". ...coming to an Urban Outfitters playlist near you!

    Unbelieveable. Again rap has been reinvented - and NS is to thank for it. I am SO SICK and tired of the bling-hos-weed-40oz bullshit the record industry has been cramming down our throats. Kudos for Columbia for signing these wicked white muses. With "All City" they just mad the Rolling Stone "Top 50 albums of 2004" i.e. the other posters with 0 ratings are f**king idiots.

Don't listen to them - listen to the critics - they have a unified voice. Northern State are for real and are the freshest thing to happen to rap since Eminem.… Expand

    These bunch of liberal queens wouldn't know a thing about what the real world- or reality is. They are a product of the rich suburbs. Get a real job and stop whining about the real world. they are TALENTLESS

    Wow, they stink. Sorry, Sony, you probably wasted a ton of money on a talentless bunch of bitches. They sound like a group that had a little too much fun at a high-school talent show, and ran with it, unfortunatly not realizing all along that everyone was laughing at them, not with them.

    Perhaps All City’s most pleasing triumph, for fans of Northern State’s earlier stuff, is that the colloquial character of the Hesta and co.’s voices is in no way diluted by the more polished music accompanying it.

    With few female MCs truly representing these days, Northern State's "All City" is a breath of fresh air.

    The music on this feisty, funny rap album isn't new--just irresistible.
