Aug 12, 2022Possibly one of the greatest Hip-Hop Album I've ever heard. The production is obviously incredible and Black Thought's pen game is pretty wild.
-
Aug 13, 2022Black thought and danger mouse finally release this album. It was worth the wait!
-
Aug 16, 2022This album is an insane listen. Danger Mouse is on a different level through out the entire album. Black Thought is right on the money and this is an album too look out for.
-
Aug 16, 2022This album is a breath of fresh air in the hip-hop genre right now. Danger Mouse's funky beats mix perfectly with Black Thought's flow. I also really enjoyed the guest appearances.
Bottom line is this: if you're tired of the same auto-tuned mumble rap stuff that is out there, and want to hear some REAL hip-hop, then this album will deliver ten times over. -
Aug 24, 2022Great album! These guys did a great collab. Awesome beats by Dangermouse and nice flow from Black Thought. The guests are enpointe as well. Aquamarine is the standout for me. Gold Teeth is great as well.

Sep 24, 2022I love this album. Black Thought is an amazing rapper, and he really came through with this release. It has its ups and downs, sure, but it was great overall.

Aug 23, 2022There are those who employ cheat codes just for the hell of it. Lyrically and musically, Black Thought and Danger Mouse used theirs here to get one up on their peers in their respective mediums.
-
Aug 19, 2022Some stellar outside contributions notwithstanding, Cheat Codes stimulates most when Mouse and Thought are sequestered, allowing the latter to leave space only for the occasional instrumental break or rare prominent sampled vocal.
-
The WireAug 17, 2022Danger Mouse constructs decorative, melodic beats that don’t really bang, resulting in a hazy, slightly funky and psychedelic quality reminiscent of late 1960s pop. ... It’s frustrating to see him [Black Thought] shut off that aspect of his creativity in favour of “bars as hard as Angola’s”. ... Cheat Codes is compelling enough, but one wonders where it’s all going.
