5.0 out of 5 stars
Worldwide classic from Memphis, March 22, 2000
This album is just so great that it's hard to find out where to begin. It kicks off with an intro taken from Independence Day and from there the T6M shines throughout the whole album.One thing that hits me about this album is that even though no track sound the same they all have this dark feeling that no other album has. You'll find the kick-off track "Stomp", the great "Late Night Tip" and "Good Stuff", the hypnotizing "N-2-Deep", the wicked "Last Man Standing", the obligatory Posse cut and "The End": a great instrumental. It's impossible to pick out any favorite here because this is one of a few albums that has nothing but 100% tight tracks, but one to mention is "Life Or Death" that closes the album. That one is so dark and when the piano solo(!) starts you'll wish it'll never end. If You're ready for something original and outstanding then buy this album. You'll be amazed how the rappers fit each other perfectly both by styles and lyrics. Another thing about it is that the production is so good. I thought they wouldn't be able to match "Mystic Stylez" but this one is off the hook and with no doubt the best one out of the Prophet/ Hypnotize Mindz Posse.

There has never been a better rap album., March 22, 2003
Anything that Three 6 Mafia turns out is far above hip-hop industry standards (which isn't really saying much) in my humble opinion, but this tops them all. This intricate blend of semi-horrorcore lyricism and unmatched production will never be equaled in the rap music industry. Most of my friends aren't rap fans at all but still like this album. Lord Infamous dominates with his demonic poetry and brilliant lyrics, while Koopsta Knicca's almost psychotic singing is the icing on the cake. Songs like "Stomp," "Where Da Killaz Hang," and "Last Man Standing" are good examples of these vicious verbal atrocities, while songs like the introspective "In-2-Deep" and the hypnotic relationship song "Late Night Tip" add a welcome amount of variety to the album. Lord Infamous displays his vocal versatility and solo rapping capabilities in "Where's Da Bud," while Koopsta steals the show from The Kaze in "Life Or Death" which has a beautifully morbid piano loop at the end. The only downside to the album is the almost comical lines that Juicy J. puts into some of the songs. Otherwise, classic material from a greatly underrated rap group.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Dark, cinematic, and perfect, January 12, 2006
This along w/ Mystic Stylez and Ch.2 Domination are the holy trinity of 3-6 albums....Ch.2 and The End being my favorites tho.....
Alright, the album kicks off w/ "stomp" which is very dark...It brilliantly samples the "unsolved mysteries" theme song....The rest of the cuts are everything u can ask for from DJ Paul and Juicy J on the production tip...They are very dark....And Lord Infamous, Project Pat, Gangsta Boo and everyone else comes correct on this album, giving you raw lyrics....
"The End" (the song) is an instrumental that might be one of my fav rap beats ever....Its very dark, but yet done brilliantly, in my opinion....My fav tracks include Stomp,The End, Late Night Tip, N 2 Deep, and Life or Death...But really all the songs are great....You won't be disappointed w/ The End...Gurantee it...
