    Fantastic lyrics and beats. Old-school in it's rawness. Buck 65 is one of a kind.

    Yet again, Buck 65 makes an awesome album. He is utterly unique, so I could understand why some might not dig his sound. I, however, think he is one of the most talented artists rapping right now. I just can't get enough Buck 65. My favorite track right now is 1957. Clever.

    The sonics beneath Buck's deadpan rhymes are too often more subdued than the dense collages he started out in the late 90s, but jazz keyboards and conga poly-rhythms keep the backing from sinking into mere soundtrack. [Nov 2007, p.146]

    Far from sounding like the future, however, Situation is valiantly old school in its belief that the best rap is cultural commentary, poetic and from the heart--the modern blues basically. [Nov 2007, p.108]

    Buck 65's percussive funk and gruff flow serve language that deserves no less.
