5.0 out of 5 stars
Paranoia, April 26, 2002
This review is from: Future Is Now (Audio CD)
I was skeptical of this album, but picked it up, because Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Large Professor, and Juju all have beats on it. I've never been a huge fan of horrorcore, or Necro, but this is a paranoid masterpiece. The production is as schizophrenic as the lyrics and while the lyrics are not extremely complex, they are at times quite witty and humorous. The chemistry between the emcees is very apparent, and their intensity melds very well with the beats. In fact, although they meld very well with the beats from Primier, Extra P, Juju, and Pete Rock, they come off best over Necro's (who is Ill Bill's brother) beats. Time will tell if this album ends up holding any sort of classic status, but for now it is an excellent listen. For those unfamiliar with Non-Phixion they come of kind of like Jedi Mind Tricks on PCP.

Top Notch From the Undeground Up, February 27, 2004
This review is from: Future Is Now (Audio CD)
A near classic debut from Sabac, Bill, Eclipse, and Goretex, pure, unadulterated hip-hop with beats from Necro, the Beatnuts, Dj Premier (!!!!), Large Professor, and Pete Rock. Phenomenal.

Definitely the hottest rap cd of tha year!!!!!!!!!, July 3, 2002
This review is from: Future Is Now (Audio CD)
Bill,Sabac,and Chunk finally release an album to the mainstream and they do not fail to amaze me with this album.These guys flow off each others lyrics so nicely and the beat are some of the tightest beats ever.Necro is amazing.A lot of people, myself included, do not like suicide bomb,cuz its a corny compilation,but whether these guys release songs that have been out for years(Black Helicopters),dare to mess with your mind with a crazy sounding track(Strange Universe,There is no future),rap over a primo or pete rock beat(Rock stars,If you got love),or just hit you in the head with anti-government rap(The CIA is trying to kill me),these guys are nothing short of amazing.Plus mear-ones cover artwork is amazing.Look at all the crazy stuff on the cover.Buy this cd, you will not be disappointed.Whether you like mainstream or underground rap,this cd is for everyone.They don't sell out and do corny music,but still have songs that could be on the radio.BUY THE FUTURE IS NOW,NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
