    It's obvious after a few listens that the weight of the talent collected here hurts White People as often as it helps.
  5. PopMatters

    White People, at its worst, acts as sort of a middling appendix to So, Where's Your Girl?.
  6. Uncut

    The humourless skits drag... but somehow the Handsome Boy charm still wins through. [Dec 2004, p.137]

    Things lurch heavy-handedly from reggae to rap to 1950s film music.

Those looking for an album exactly like the previous one from handsome Boys Modeling school will be dissapointed. If you are looking for a straight up hip-hop album, a lot of the songs wont be for you. With all that taken into account, I loved it. Go into it with an open mind (The RZA and John Oats in the same CD?) and you will be pleasently surprised.… Expand
