    Pleasant in its ensemble. A number of tracks sound like classicss? Maybe it is just because they are classics.

    Shyne's Tupac-esque reflections on honor and mortality are penetrating, and suggest there are greater meditations yet to be unleashed. [20/27 Aug 2004, p.126]
  2. New Musical Express (NME)

    The beats may be basic and the quality fuzzy... but there are diamonds among the dirt. [21 Aug 2004, p.49]
  3. Godfather Buried Alive is a worthy listen, showcasing Shyne's unfiltered honesty in its uncompromising form.
