Editorial Reviews
2011 release from the hardest-working rapper alive. If he's not running circles around America as part of Paid Dues, the annual Hip Hop festival that he created and organized, he's doing backflips across a stage in Budapest, or shaking hands with fans in Japan before catching a bullet train to a packed in-store performance. When he's not on the road, he's in the studio, feverishly adding album after album to a cavernous discography. From the rhymes in his notepad to the hair on his head, Murs is not your average rapper. Hell, he's not your average guy. Never has been. Listening to Murs is something like listening to a regular guy who just happens to know how to rap. His lyrics are straightforward, down-to-earth, and honest, delivered with a vocal tone and forcefulness that recalls a slightly more relaxed Ice Cube.

It's been a great year for hip hop and this album has to be among the best releases. The lead single off the album really inspired me to pick this up "Remember 2 Forget". Murs has a way with love songs that too many MCs just can't touch. One of my favorite tracks is "Eazy-E", a tribute to the history of West Coast and Gangsta rap that actually sounds, for lack of a better word, Pretty. "Hip Hop & Love", a song named for the tour, (features Tabi Bonney) is a love story decorated with references to all the great hip hop music that surrounds it. "Life & Time" features D.I.T.C legend O.C., Respect! And the closer, Murs seems to always close his albums with a show stopper, "Animal Style" is a heartbreaking song about a subject that Hip Hop is far too often afraid to touch. It alone is worth the price of the disc.

This effort by Murs is considerably better than Murs for Prez, slightly better than Murray's Revenge, yet not as good as End of the Beginning or 3:16... So, to put it nice and simple, the music is solid, the lyrics and delivery are typical Murs... Beats are mostly slower with a few upbeat tracks thrown in. So, if you like Murs and feel like his newer material has been somewhat suspect, do yourself a service and listen to this entire album. It was a very pleasant surprise for me.

I was expecting to find a half ass album, I mean I went in expecting something horrible and frightening, instead I found something beautiful. 5 star, easily the most complete hip hop album of the year...

solid, but be warned
Like Blueprint, Murs is incorporating a lot of new textures in his music. If your a fan of his music, and a wide variety of music like I am, you'll find something to appreciate. Read more

Breaks New Ground
This is the first Murs album I've bought and I was surprised how good it was. He's very anti- major record label, so its different from most rap albums. Read more

The best rapper out there
Only halfway through the album, but already convinced Murs is the best rapper going, or maybe tied with Talib at the top. Buy his albums and see his shows. Read more
