UrbThis time, he's truly on some next shit instrumentally and vocally. [Nov 2004, p.98]

The WireThis album does suffer a mysterious drop in its energy levels midway in. [#249, p.50]
-
It’s stripped down, tough and raw, but a world away from any gangsta pose – this is more inward facing, an attempt to expand the horizons of hip-hop, striving for a new rap language, with a free flow sprawl of image and polemic.
