    Since El-P decided earlier this year to step down from heading the Definitive Jux label and focus more on his own music, it's great to know he's proceeding with his desolate signature and his sense of possibility both intact.
  2. Spin

    With double-time beats, Trent Reznor-level distortion, lost-in-the-matrix digital doodles, and the occasional gunshot, megamixxx3 works like a headbanger companion to El's 2007 album, I'll Sleep When You're Dead-soaring, paranoid, and ghoulish.
  3. BBC Music
    80
    For any bootlegging rappers with cerebral ambitions, this could represent the greatest thinking man's beat tape of all time. To mere listeners, it's an enveloping temporary distraction, more than fulfilling its purpose of whetting anticipation for El-P's mic-wielding return.
  4. Q Magazine

    This instrumental mixtape isn't Jaime Meline's best work, but there's no denying the manic intensity as Meline's machine-gun edits cut together old-school electro and spooked Hammond grooves. [Sept. 2010, p. 117]

    More approachable than some of his earlier solo work, the dark melodies and distorted beats make this album at once catchy and apocalyptic.

    Dope dark beats from alternative rap's greatest producers!
    That album should be pure fire if this instrumental disc is this good!
    Only fools w    ith crappy taste in rap music would give this a low rating!
    Definitive Jux is in the spot!    … Expand
