5.0 out of 5 stars A collabo made in heaven...Kool Keith and Motion Man, June 9, 2001

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this album. Kool Keith is always trying different styles and flipping techniques and personas, it's hard to call it. But I was thoroughly impressed by the off-kilter design of 3 deranged minds. Kutmaster Kurt did a remarkable job with production, especially on Bronx-Bay Bridge(my favorite) and East-West Hustlas. I would just like to give all of the songs their just due. This is an album you can let ride on through without skipping. I own just about every Kool Keith album there is, and I would say that this is one of his best. Most think he hit his high note on Octagon, but in my opinion, Dr. Dooom was just as good without the Automator. It rests next to those in my book. Cop this one yo', you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars What is he doing!!!!!, January 16, 2001

How can he do this? Why is Kool Keith dropping phat albums and not telling anybody? I only found out about this doing a random search on (...)! This is his best album since Sex Style and in fact better than that. Not to sleep on Motion Man he is fantastic on this CD as well.

The beats are excellent, straight up Hip-Hop. This is the kind of album I have been waiting for from Kool Keith in a very long time. The beats are nice and Kool Keith's flow is on point as usual. Not just for Kool Keith fans but for any real Hip-Hop fan. What more can I say? Time for me to stop gushing and for you to reach for your wallet and buy this album.

Go for yours!

If you like Kool Keith, you'll love this. Its the best this year. Better than Matthew and Analog Brothers in my opinion. With guest DJs like Revolution, Babu, and Rhettmatic, the album is even better. There are no guest rappers and that is a plus. You get the full expertise of Kool Keith and the outstanding rhymes of Motion Man. Kut Masta Kurt knows what he is doing.
