    Young rappers take notice: you want to sound like this when you get older.

    You won't find much in the way of a message on Mic Tyson (closest thing might be on the driving "Pyrex": "wake up, all that crack and the street talk/is made up like Jack & The Beanstalk"), but you will find a raw rap sound seldom heard in these calloused days

    Price's material-starved fans are craving his words more than beats, so don't call it a comeback but a wicked, wordy return.

    Witty, gritty punchlines abound, maintaining the energy level even on those tracks where the beats are somewhat routine. [Feb 2013, p.103]

    This gets a perfect score from me me because this is a classic album by a classic emcee. One of the best emcees in the game, with a 20 year career ranging with Boot Camp Clik, Heltak Skeltah, and Super group Random Axe, Sean Price is pushing the limits as always. In a good way! Not a weak Moment on this element. Excellent delivery, excellent lyrical flow, excellent production. Its a flawless album and a must have. This is an example of what Hip Hop Should Be!… Expand
