    This album is a disaster. It falls short of expectations. There is bad rapping here. These are terrible songs. The guest appearances are awful. There is nothing here to do or follow, it's just all terrible.

    There’s a timeless quality to the way Keith Elam and Christopher Martin brought out the best in each other, and even posthumously on “One of the Best Yet” you can still hear that love of making hip-hop in every track.

    A rare beacon of quality amid the shoddy posthumous rap parade. [Feb 2020, p.91]

    I can’t recommend this as a great hiphop record or remotely the state of the art right now. But for fans it’s an essential, harrowing work – Gang Starr’s equivalent of Big Star’s Third. [Jan 2020, p.60]
