This CD is great. I can't say that I've been feeling the rest of the Battleaxe Record's releases, but Rob the Viking has my attention. The beats are straight hip-hop, and that's all it is, no lyrics. Yet, these are some great beats. Those who are not into hip-hop, may feel the beats become monotonous, since there is little change in composition from the beginning to end of each song. But if you didn't expect that, why would you buy a cd of "beats" in the first place. I love it though, great beats to chill out with, can't wait to get 'em on vinyl.

These are the sickest beats out. I am a fan of battle axe and his production is probably the main reason why. They do have some good emcees but he probably is the most consistent with his workbecause he comes through every track and has the ability to make the worst emcee shine just because of his production. If you are into underground hip hop, this is the tightest thing you can buy. Its a must for all the Djs.

You won't find commercial beats on this disc. Rob the Viking brings the best in underground sounds and these beats are a must for anyone who craves true hip-hop. The production is tight and the beats bang when played loud. All beats are around 4 minutes long and while a bit short for freestyle sessions there is not one beat that will disappoint. You will feel the need to freestyle over all 15 tracks.

The seller of this CD NEVER informed me, nor did Amazon, that the seller had backed out and decided not to sell his "Beats to Pillage and Conquer By" until 17 days AFTER the original sale. That was the date that the seller said it would ship by. The day after Amazon asked for a product review is when I found out that I would be refunded my payment to them.

By then it was too late to get this CD from other sources as the event I was going to use this CD for was imminient. Perhaps there should be a more careful screening of sellers. It shouldn't take 17 days to figure out whether the seller is going to sell or mail the item, especially after the sale was agreed upon.
