  1. for a few overblown performances and quasi-epic productions, It Ain't Safe No More finds Busta Rhymes with the same sure grip on his distinctive personality.
  2. Vibe
    70
    Busta again shows the versatility of his flow, but it's the complexity of the words that may surprise you. [Jan 2003, p.127]
  3. Like its predecessor, Genesis, this album is sonically superior to most in the marketplace.
  4. Uncut
    60
    As unoriginal as his previous five, yet still entertaining. [Mar 2003, p.106]
  5. As an album, the thing seems to suffer from a lack of texture, variation, and (dare we suggest) innovation.
  6. Q Magazine
    60
    When it works, it's exhilarating, but elsewhere the poor lamb sounds a touch jaded. [Feb 2003, p.96]
  7. Entertainment Weekly
    42
    A tragically mediocre album full of lackluster arrangements and inexplicably short songs. [13 Dec 2002, p.83]
