-
The music is kept grounded throughout by the guitar work and some exceptional sung hooks, but the MCs' ability to craft and deliver backpacker quality lyricism is what holds the whole thing together.
-
The brothers are nimble lyricists, delivering raps in catch-me-if-you-can fashion, exercising little patience but encouraging repeated listens.
-
What that hodgepodge adds up to is the year's best hip-hop debut.
-
The brothers lack the inspired wit of their predecessors (especially OutKast) and could use tauter rhymes, but most of the album packs a punch.
-
Thankfully, their debut album does little to clarify the group's intriguingly eclectic sound.
-
While the first 20 minutes supply an appropriately cocaine-like high (with the requisite comedown), what's really missing is the debut they somehow skipped over, one where they could've showed where their passion comes from, rather than merely being actors in a Hills-hop hybrid.
-
You can hear skill flowing off the band, but without the actual crafting of the tunes, the end result is amateurish.
