    Its not as good as i thought but a good effort from Ace... In my opinion, i would rate "Disposable Arts" a ten. Favorites in this album include "wutuwanko" & "revelations". Its sad to see this being his last album becasue he is one of those rappers which you can really feel his lyrics.

    If u like your hip-hop clever, insightful, witty, honest and full of love for the art and life - this is for u. Ace has done it again: another SOLID album. I hate the idea that he's quitting. Oh - and don't skip the first 5 tracks as one reviewer says!

    Only in its conclusion does the disc fall short of its predecessor.

    Shorter than its predecessor, it is also a more cohesive and even effort, making Ace and Brooklyn the focal points of this hour plus narrative told in the now trademark laid-back manner.

    Unfortunately, A Long Hot Summer starts slowly. In fact, when you cop this album, do yourself a favor and skip the first five tracks.
