Sean Price has proven once again that he is a big force in Hip Hop. Just from listening to his older work as Ruck and his New work as Sean Price, you can tell he has always had great respect and understanding for hip hop. Even with all of the "New Rappers" that seem to be able to get money by making dance instructional videos and basicly taking the easy way out, Price has never switch up his style He is a lyrical mad man and this is evident on songs like "P-Body" and "One" another way he has been able to connect with the listeners is by not being afraid to tell the real story. You can take a look into his world of failure when listening to "Mess You Made" and he also brings back that good old punch you in our face and then laugh at you style with the song "Church" which features his crime partner Rock. This album is a MUST have, so start typing your credit card numbers in and cop this album.

With the bleak state of (mainstream) rap these days, Sean Price latest is effort is a welcome reprise. Good production, strong beats, but most importantly solid and versatile lyircal content. Very back to basics NY style flow and song construct. Sean Price's lyrics have a good mix of street grit, self-deprecating humor, and real street tales. That said, his album isn't the usual laundry list of I did this, I shot him, and sold that. A concept of story telling and innovative thought that is almost dead, so if you like Ghost, Jedi Mind, Cunninlynguists, Pumpkinhead, even Nas, you'll enjoy. (Someone please send to 50 and Dipset). Liked another reviewers comparison to Ghost, both for consistency and effort in all songs on the album - almost no throwaways. One of my boy's said he could hear "SEAN P" shout as background in any song and feel it and I'd have to agree. Highly reccomended for rap heads looking for good, innovative production, good flow, and versatile lyrical content...

Sean Price's sophomore solo effort, Jesus Price Supastar, is the first notable hip-hop release of the year; and he doesn't dissapoint in providing the lonely month of January with an outstanding effort. Price's first album, Monkey Barz, was definitely the standout release of the three BCC albums that were meant to bring Duck Down records back to relevance, surprassing mediocre records from hip-hop legends like Smif-N-Wessun, and a dream-team consisting of Buckshot & 9th Wonder. Some may state that the reason Sean succeeded so well on Monkey Barz is because he took the common man approach; something only one other emcee(a man whose name coincidentally rhymes with Price's) have ever taken up the representation of. Sean Price wasn't attempting some type of Obie Trice gimmick infringement though; dude was just being real. It's rare to find an emcee who boasts about being 'the brokest rapper alive,' but these claims only add to Price's appeal.

It's no surprise that Sean P spent a good amount of time touring with Ghostface last year, because Jesus Price Supastar is quickly becoming the Fishscale of 2007; a dope album released early in the year, that is almost sure to go on everyone's top ten list when '07 draws to a close. Though there's still eleven months left to go, it's hard to imagine that there'll be ten other albums released this year to trump Jesus Price's amazing sophomore effort. While Sean P's debut was an outstanding album, it takes a rare breed of emcee to release a second album even iller than their first. Another similarity P-Body's newest release shares with Ghostface's Fishscale is the indy dream-producing team; 9th Wonder, Khrysis, and even Pete Rock all contribute beats to the album, and each producer gives the perfect backdrop to Sean's nasty street tales. The majority of the guests are, unsurprisingly, BCC members and Justus League affiliates, and they all drop some hot bars on their respective spots.

While Monkey Barz was undoubtedly a hot release, Jesus Price Supastar is indefinitely superior. The rhymes are tighter, the punchlines are harder, and the beats are suave; I hate to compare Sean P to Ghostface again, but he's clearly following in his footsteps, as he is hands down the most visible, and consistent, member of the Boot Camp Clik, similar to how Ghost is with the Wu. On his debut, Sean may've been nothing more than a chimp; but on Jesus Price Supastar, there's no argument in giving him the crown of King Kong.

Sean Price: Jesus Price Superstar

What can I say? Hot rhymes, dope beats. To let you know what type of jack move this album is on, one line, among many, that particularly sticks out: 'Lie to the cops and tell the truth in the booth, instead you tell the truth to the cops and lie in the booth'...umm....album is basically packed with non-boring wordplay like this and hot beats. What more could you ask for? Lot of people wanna know if this album is as hot as Monkey Bars? Truth is: they are 2 different albums that can't even be compared. What makes this album stand out from Monkey Bars is it's 100 times harder and more creative than Monkey Bars. Sophmore Slump? Not over here. . If you want to hear someone that can still rap, do yourself a favor and pick this up? Sean Price is the Ghostface of the Boot Camp Click. True heads will know what I mean by this statement.

I admit I'm not to up to par with any of the Boot Camp Click outside of Buckshot (who I have limited songs with), and Heltah Skeltah and Smif N wesson (I might have half a dozen songs of) but I heard a few songs with Sean on them and he seemed tight so I decided to pick this up, needless to say I will be getting his "Monkey Bars" and "Master P" albums. A.K.A. Ruck, one half of the group Heltah Skeltah and being in the rap game for over 10 years, he finally gets some recognition again. I was very impressed with the man's flow and wordplay throughout the album. With 16 songs, you get guests on a little over half of them and a good amount are around 3 monutes, so the songs are kind of short, but good none the less. Of the 16 songs, 1 is almost a classic, 4 are ok, and the other 11 are nice. Production is good as well. 9th Wonder does 5 songs, Khrysis does 4, MoSS, Masse, Tommy Tee, Illmind, and PF Cuttin all do 1 song and Ten does 2. A nice album to have in your collection.

Sean Price -- Brownsville Brooklyn, NY

This is Sean Price's follow up to "Monkey Barz" and is quite possibly the best hip hop album is recent history. Easily the best boot camp album of the 21st century. Sean Price continues to step up his game lyrically and makes ignorant street music sound like a masterpiece. Teaming up with the Justus League once again on the production tip (9th Wonder and Khrysis) help to make this at least the best album of 2007. Must have for true school hip hoppers!

SEAN PRICE RELEASES A STRONG SOPHMORE LP, FROM BEGINNING TO END THERE IS NO WEAK LINK HERE. HIS SUBJECT MATTER IS HEAVIER AND HARDER THAN 'MONKEY BARZ'. FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS DUCK DOWN HAS RELEASED NOTHING BUT QUALITY EVER SINCE DROPPING THE TRIPLE THREAT, AND THEY CONTINUE WITH THIS JEWEL FOR 2007. PRODUCTION 10/10, RHYMES 10/10, OVERALL FLOW OF THE RECORD 10/10. THIS WILL BE IN THE TOP 3 AT THE END OF '07 FOR SURE. SUPPORT SEAN "HARDBODY" PRICE. PEACE!

Let me start off by saying, I do not think an albulm is a classic just because I am a fan of the artist. When I first purchased this CD, I thought it was worthy of a four. It was a nice pure hip-hop record but over the last month I just fell in love with it. I envision myself listening to Jesus Price 10 years from now. All the producers provide solid material on this record, but Khrysis and Sean P go to another deminsion when they ride together on their five tracks. Khrysis has taking his productional to another level an its nice to observe the growth of a producer. The beat and rhyme on "One" are perfect 10's. "One" is an incredible song. A classic albulm needs a surprise and Sadat X brings on "the God". I thought his days of saying something worth hearing were long behind him. Now that's what I call a cameo, that cat is hungry as hell. Sean P is the best rapper out there right now. Check out his rhyme on "Violent". 9th wonder provides a good beat on this joint, but the song would become boring quickly if you had the wrong MC on this track. Sean P swithches up on his flow throughout this song and finesses the hell out of the track. Now that is what a real MC is supposed to do, take an average track and make the listener love it anyway. This the first time in two years I purchased a record and did not feel cheated. Bless the Mic and the God, IT's Violent.

If u Liked Monkey Barz, Jesus Price Supastar Is a Way Better Album both on the Production and Lyric's end. Monkey Barz is kinda like Scottie Pippen (very good), Jesus PRice Supstar is like Jordan (Perfection). Jesus Price Supastar has put Sean Price on the Map so much that even the Rocafella Boss himself (Jay-Z) was Rumored to be Courting Sean P after hearing Jesus Price. Just like "Things Fall Apart" did for the Roots, Jesus Price Supastar is the Album where everybody finally catches on to Sean Price.

Sean Price needs to Send a Thank U note to 9th Wonder and Khrysis cause they did the bulk of the production on this Classic 2007 Hiphop LP. Other Producers Include - ILLmind (one of my favorite producers as well), 10 for the TRiad, Moss, Masse and Tommy Tee who also Represent well on the Production Side. Stongest Tracks is Everything to be Honest, But "Let It be known" where u'll hear one of the Hardest Phonte versus he's ever spit, Then Sean price Comes and Rips it on the Second Verse. "You Already Know" another Hard SEan Price track will Break ya NEck from Head Noddin to It. "Directers CUt" "King Kong" "P-Body" and "Violent" all Have That Classic Hiphop Feel to them.

IF U BUY ANY HIPHOP ALBUM THIS YEAR, BUY THIS ONE!

Sean Price is back with one of the strongest follow up solo albums I have ever heard. Gritty rhymes, dope production (9th wonder), and nice guest apperances (sadat x, skyzoo, phonte, Buckshot). I think the most impressive on the album is the return of ROCK and the heltah skeltah songs that appear on this album. Sean P is rapidly becoming one of my favorite artists as well as approaching god emcee status. This is a classic boot camp click album that has no weakness and is a great addition to your collection!!!!!!!!!!!
