    Live From the Underground is the best distillation of the South since OutKast's rule-rewriting heyday.

    After listening to Live from the Underground in its entirety, you'll notice the album's cohesiveness and Southern harmony. [#253, p.88]

    While other rappers struggle to maintain consistency across one album per year, Big K.R.I.T. has made his second corker of 2012. [Oct 2012, p.106]

    Live From The Underground offers nothing game-changing, but is definitely enjoyable (especially on high energy jams like "Yeah Dats Me"), emulating its influences well.

    This album is being criminally under rated by critics and fans across the internet, the production sonic genius, every single instrument is used to perfection and the whole thing comes together beautifully, after a day or two of listening I would have put it on par with R4 but after a solid week it's now surpassed even that, you really need to take time and listen to every note, line and key. I will be playing this album for years to come and I also have no doubt he will go on to create even better LP's. Expand
  2. the beats are great, but need less poppy sounds at times. the first few songs are gold, while the last few are hit or miss. only listen if you're a fan of krit Expand
  3. Live From the Underground demonstrates a certain maturity of Big KRIT, this great artist who shows his great ability to rapper and producer, few can do both. Expand
  4. I tried to enjoy LFTU, but I found it very forgettable and boring. Big KRIT is a talented rapper, but the hooks were too repetitive and nothing really stood out to me.
    I'll still check out his next album, like I said, he is a talented rapper.
