  1. Past a few missteps, the album is a winning embrace of hip-hop with commentaries on beefs, nostalgic pining for better days, and a positive outlook for the future of the genre.

    The rapper's message hits home on most of the curse-free tracks--though at times misogyny undermines his holier-than-thou stance. [21 Sep 2007, p.82]
  3. Ultimate Victory is everything one could have hoped for as an official sophomore album follow-up to "The Sound of Revenge"--there's no slump here.
