5.0 out of 5 stars P.O.S. - Pretty Amazing, October 16, 2005

After seeing P.O.S. on the Pour Me Another tour (with Atmosphere and others) twice, I can truly say that there is no other rapper like him. His stage presence was vivid and energetic, emphatically spitting flows that switched from fast to slow and back again seconds later. Maybe it's the fact that he's from Minneapolis, a city that seems to be breeding a plethora of diverse and creative MC's, or maybe it's the fact that he grew up on punk rock instead of rap, but either way P.O.S. is truly something different. He shows amazing lyrical depth and poetic skill on songs such as That One (a frantic and emotional track about a relationship gone wrong), Music For Shoplifting (P.O.S.'s socio-political anthem in which he quips "Run out of toilet paper? Grab the sunday paper, wipe your ass with the president"), Little Kids (In which he weaves the story of the lives of two troubled children with vivid detail), and Duct Tape (adressing the issues he faced with his parents in the broken home of his childhood).

Throughout Ipecac Neat, the MC known as both Product Of Society and Promise Of Stress shows a Keruac-like skill for writing material that almost seems like free thought rap, but always somehow manages to stay centered around a specific theme with a steaming serving of metaphor, passion, power, and angst. From the call and response anthem Meth-Head vs. McNugget (Live, Live, Live) to the collaboration with fellow Minneapolis MC Crescent Moon, Dead Music, P.O.S.'s debut album does not disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars P.O.S. Is simply Amazing, April 25, 2005

Ha ha ha, there was absolutely no hesitation giving this the good ol' five star rating. I would give it more if possible. This CD is just flawless showcasing POS' original style and flow. This CD literally changed my life, thats how powerful the words and songs are. I saw POS in concert in Phoenix and it was the best performance I have seen in a long long time. Like the first review said, the man comes out as if he is just a stage manager or something. He brings out the old boombox and messes around on the mic. Then all of a sudden as he is talking he begins to rap and the beats kick in. POS has created a totally new and diffrent style and you cannot go wrong by buying this CD. There is no way you can hear it and not like it NO WAY. So I gurantee happy listening. All tracks are great, but the best ones for me are 1,2,4,10,15. HAVE FUN AND BUY THIS. Support the underdogs out there. This one is a hidden gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant favorite, May 27, 2005

P.O.S. seems adept at garnering his fans through his amazing stage show, as I saw him perform the same boombox to beats to mad rappin' routine in San Francisco not long ago. The performace prompted me to pick up the album (only one left at Rasputin, a good sign?) and the album prompted me to hit repeat over and over and over again. I am a helpless hip-hop addict and this artist has vaulted instantly to the upper echelons of my personal favorites. Buy this album. If you dig good hip-hop, or even if you just dig good music, buy this freakin' album. You will not be disappointed.
