4.0 out of 5 stars Four and a half stars, actually, March 19, 2003

If Amazon would let me rate this four and a half, I would. But anyway, I was a fan of Fat Jon's for a long time (owned and listened to both of his instrumentals albums on a regular basis) and I knew about this album but for some stubborn reason, I just slept on it. Well, after finding myself with some extra cash just begging to be spent on new music, I finally picked this up. It's fantastic. I've been a hip hop fan for over ten years now and this is one of the most ambitious hip hop records I've ever heard (think Endtroducing or Buhloone Mindstate). I've been going through a phase recently where hip hop just doesn't sound as good to me as it used to but after hearing this album, my faith has been restored. I know that's kind of a corny thing to say, but it's true. It's an infinitely refreshing record but it still keeps that edgy experiemental vibe throughout. It's not overly experimental to the point where you start to wonder if you're still listening to a hip hop record or not, but it definitely does not sound like a lot of other recent records coming out these days. It still retains that boom bap on the block feel while injecting hints of world and electronic music; not to mention a huge jazz influence that is excuted and carried out rather than hinted at (like a lot of hip hop producers tend to do). Ok, now I'm babbling. But anyway, if you're still sleeping like I was, stop. This is a deeply spiritual, meaningful, interesting, engaging and just downright amazing record. It's a well concocted hip hop masterpiece in an era when they are becoming more and more scarce. Highly recommended.

Easily one of the best albums I've heard in years. This album is crammed full of MUSIC from start to finish. To corner this album as hip-hip only does it no justice. Yes, there are killer beats and some of the smartest rhymes I've heard anywhere but every track flows together like a urban symphony. I could listen to this whole album over and over and over and never get tired of it. If you don't have this album, GET IT! This album shows you what hip-hop can really achieve.

Five dees, koolmotor one of the best of the year. I would give it 4.5 stars if Amazon let me.Kool Motor has tight philosiphical lyrics over head nodding hypnotic beats. Fat Jon got the ill production and pase and company hold their own on the mic. This album is almost perfect. If you liked last years ep you will love this.Take it from a subterranean hip hop expert # 1 d.j. Peace and love!!!
