    With "The Undisputed Truth," Brother Ali improves as a rapper, while sacrificing none of the unique, personal touch that made "Shadows on the Sun" so impressive.

    Ant perfectly underscores Ali's gruff cadence, simultaneously self-assured and stressed, with a melodic lope that scrunches soul voclas underneath loops of bluesy guitar. [Apr 2007, p.86]

    If his first album, Shadows on the Sun--one of 2003's best hip-hop releases--was meant to introduce Ali to his would-be fanbase, The Undisputed Truth--which sees Ali's life taking a total 180--seals the damn deal. [Mar 2007, p.97]

    With this record, it’s nice to see [producer] Ant... branching out into hints of reggae and jazz-rock.

    Ant (DJ & Producer for Atmosphere) displays his full ability as a beat maker on this project, while Brother Ali brings the "Truth" with his strong, preacher-like, vocals. Instant classic!… Expand

    This album is pretty good. It's the first album I got from Brother Ali even though I am a Rhyme Sayers head. It's pretty good.

    This album is pure ass. Not the good kind of ass, either. Wrinlkly, pimply, gelatinous ass.
