A record that gamely tries to get with mainstream hip-hop concerns. [Listen 2 This supplement, Aug 2002, p.14]
-
80Atmosphere creates hip-hop that is more than the sum of its parts. [Aug 2002, p.82]
-
Slug and Ant have no aversion to a killer pop hook. [Sep 2002, p.76]
-
80[Slug is] suddenly one of the best alt-rappers around. [#9, p.143]
-
Though the lo-fi D.I.Y. production slows the momentum on a handful of tracks, when Slug's rhymes and producer Ant's beats click, the results are as good as underground hip-hop gets.
-
In a hip-hop landscape littered with studio gangsters, pimps on wax, and thugs in need of hugs, Slug proves yet again on God Loves Ugly that the bravest move a rapper can make is simply to be himself.
-
It's as close to emo as hip-hop gets.
-
60God Loves Ugly might not be the freshest or most innovative hip-hop album you'll hear, but it does have an edge. It's also more complicated than it seems on the surface.
-
God Loves Ugly ends up as the worst kind of inconsistent album--inconsistent not because of any lack of knowledge, creativity or heart on the part of the artists, but because they can't decide whether they want to use that knowledge to showcase their own voice or mimic someone else's.
