mattaJul 8, 2005This entire album is solid. Great beats and great production. Right up there with Lord Quas and Edan as the best rap albums of the year.

HeathRMay 17, 2005Good album that traces back to the mid-school. Dirty, choppy beats that keep your head moving, and lyrics you can memorize, and visualize.

Apr 21, 2016production is tight as well as his lyricism. most like to assume all this guy says is gibberish, obviously very little pay attention to what this guy spits. he remains one of the few rappers that can not only produce their own music but can rap lyrically as well. classic.

On 1988, Blueprint delivers a guide to a sparkplug of a year, capturing its essence whilst feeling bang up to date.

UrbThe highlight of this album is Blueprint's pensive, jazzy landscape of strangled horns and muddy synths. [Jan/Feb 2005, p.94]
