5.0 out of 5 stars The ruler for Hip-Hop Measurement, January 12, 2002

When I first put this CD in my player, I didn't know what to expect. I heard the skills of Mars Ill, Ill Harmonics and the Tunnel Rat Sev Static ( all members of the super-group DS5) but I had not heard any of the other members. I flip open the jacket and saw 8 of the nine members with a caucasion complexion was very skeptical of what kind of music these kats were going to bring. As the first track played, a brief intro to get the audience ready, I sat back, took a deep breath and made sure that the reciept for the CD was available in case I need my money back.

To say that these kats are dope, nice, phat or any other hip-hop adjective used to describe skilled MC's would be an understatement. These dudes flipped word play that would have Toni Morrison and most Baptist preachers runaway scared. The 2nd cut, which is the first song, provides the listener with a verbal pictorial of all of the members (Soulheir the Manchild, Freddie Bruno, Listener, Sev Static, The Recon, Sintax "The Terrific", Playdough, Stu Dent, and MC Fong) capabilities and abilities to bless the microphone. From then on, it just gets better with Beat Rabbi and DJ Dust providing most of the production and scratching.

Christ has definetly anointed and appointed these men of God to spread a message that hip-hop is going to change according to His standards and He is going to use them, along with countless others, to change the messages, images, values and wackness that Hip-Hop has incorporated and demonstrated.

Cop this CD and be blessed and look out for more out of DS5 and Uprok Records. Holla.

Living in Columbus, Ohio, it's hard to find music that doesn't talk about sex, cars, guns, women, gold chains etc. It's also hard to find that real hip-hop with good beats, good lyrical flow and good content. Thank God for DeepSpace5! If this album wasn't at a listening station in Virgin Records I probably would have never heard it! Now I'm hooked to the entire Uprock label. This group of MC's are ridiculous! The Listener, Playdough, Freddie Bruno, Sev Statik, Soulheir the Manchild, DJ Dust, etc. have raised the bar for MC's everywhere. The style of beats are unique, each MC's rhyme style is unique. I actually listened to this CD exclusively for a month - it's that good. Hip-hop heads need to check all of these artists on the Uprock/DeepSpace5 label.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Night We Called It A Day (Audio CD)

Ok, I just recently got into the underground rap scene, had to escape bad words and images. I have to say that this album is a cd that reminds me why I gave up mainstream hip hop. All the beats on this album are tight, there really are no weak beats at all, and with some super talented emcees spitting over them you just can't go wrong. Speaking of Deepspace 5's rappers let me break that down: they are all skilled lyricly and their voices are great sounding. These guys know how to rhyme. Yes, if you're wondering, this is a christian cd, but not every word, every verse, every song is about God or Christ. Which is good, but still there's alot of focus on Christ which is also good. Do yourself a favor and pick this up.
