I have always been a fan of Epmd, and somewhat of a bigger fan of Erick Sermon. However Erick is no Nas, or Kweli, this man isn't exactly a lyrical genius. The appeal of E-Dub is the Beats!!! No matter what this man does his tracks are Bangin and they always have been, His beats are always Tight! I think to many people expect him to rhyme better but he is just givin you sumpin to ride his beats. He is not a lyricist by trade and once you accept that and just let the hot beats under your skin your lovin all his tracks. Now I'm not sayin his lyrics aint tight hes doin better then 70% of the game out there right now when it comes to writin im just sayin you buy an Erick Sermon Album for the beats like you'd buy a Talib Kweli Album for the lyrics. Simple As That! Redman, Kweli, and newcomer Sy Scott all have guest appearences on Chilltown and they all shine and hold there own over the masterfully crafted beats! This is another great album from The Man They Call "E". This album is not as good as his 2001 release "Music" However it is far superior to "React". Any fans of Epmd or Erick Sermon Pick Up "Chilltown New York".

get this album if your fed up with mainstream garbage. in his first track he raps about no one doesnt have talent in rap anymore. also raps about theres nothing new in the rap game anymore and everything is rapping about the same exact thing now. and that rappers these days always have "featuring" "featuring" in it. he also says that people dont wanna listen to him no more and the rappers arent rappers no more there actors. so if your fed up with the mainstream crap mtv or bet or the radio then cop this album here the truth and let them know. VOTE FOR ME PLEASE!

Erick Sermon comes back with an album that i listen to all the time. It is a funny album that attacks the state of rap today and most of the attacks are very true in todays rap music. These are also some of the best beats sermon has done in awhile. My favorits include Street Hop, Relentless, Chillin', God Sent, and Can You Hear Me Now. Go pick up this underrated album now.
