    Boots Riley has at his disposal a rich, seldom-tapped seam of scathing rhetoric and concrete metaphor and fleshes out leftist analysis with humanist muscle and poetic integument.

    It's a concept album, a bold provocation, a statement, a riot, and a hell of a party to boot.

    WAVIP closes the album with an anti-climatic "we are all V.I.P." chant, the only dud on an album that otherwise makes even the hardest-hitting messages sound care-free and danceable.

    Along with K.Lamar and Killer Mike, my favourite hip hop album of the year! Really good.
