First off this is not a Jedi Mind Tricks album. This is Outerspace who are on the same label as JMT and are on protege status. This is a group of their earlier and unreleased tracks. The album is HOT. These guys bring a new dark grimy sound that I'm diggin. The whole album is nice, but the first half is what I'm listening to the most. Conspiracy Theory, Third Rock, Fire in the Sky, and We Lyve are all ridiculous. Qrown Royal and 151 are tight as well. Get their new album Blood and Ashes too which is all new, fire on that album for sure.

If you like underground hip hop this CD is for you. Wouldn't give it a 5 because it's not on the same level as their newer CD or anything JMT has done, but the lyrical flow is hot and the beats mesh nice.

151 is insane, the entire CD offers something for the ears and the samples taken are perfect for this record.

Solid underground styles.

This is an underground CD with a very sweet ambience to its gritty dark beats. With all of the interstellar themed lyrics it gives this CD a dark and transcending sound that makes it really unique. Not all of the beats are perfect, with the two best being conspiracy theory and third rock. Third Rock is the song that made me give this CD a chance, so if you listen to only one, make it your choice. We got the third rock on lock like handcuffs!

I have been looking foward to hearing this cd ever since i heard outerspace on jedi mind trick's violent by design. this cd is basically outerspace's old cd (never released in america) "Illagalienz" with bonus tracks, so you can hear new and old stuff. The cd's production for one thing is amazing (check out that last bonus track and we lyve for proof!) and planet and warchild's rhymes are just as good as you've heard on their guest appearances. Listen to this cd, and be puzzled by why it took so long to be released.

I agree with the two previous reviewers that this album is top notch. Amazing lyricism, and solid production.. but I don't only think the first half is quality, atleast 2/3 of these songs are bangers.

If you like these guys buy their stuff, it's worth it.

It's that time again the Immaculate conception of the jedi mind. I don't know where these guys get the lyrics and don't really care as long as they keep this up I was so impressed with their first two cd's it was unbelievable the third was ok and I hope the 4 will be amazing because i've been looking forward to it for a long while know. I hope they keep the real jedi mind lyrics but add a new twist. I don't know about you but i'll be the first one at HMV buying this cd that a garuntee

Just like the first guy said, the whole album is tight but the first half is sick. Highly recommended for the underground.

If you know about the underground scene in Illadelph, you know where they come from. Born in North Philly (like Peedi Crakk from the Rock-A-Fella Crew) raised on "565" (like their QD crew), Planetary and Crypt were bred in the culture -- listening to EPMD, Rakim, Big Daddy, Tuff Crew, then Tribe, De La, The Roots, Big Pun, Jigga...

...then writing rhymes in marble notebooks, tagging old warehouses, crashing cyphers... then catching open mic nights on South St., Old City or someone's basement... then chillin' in the 700 level at the Vet or at a corner bar on 565 or in North Philly.

OuterSpace speak to cats that know this scene -- or love the great music it produces. Most of this CD is the real early stuff when these Puerto Rocks were barely legal. Lots of the early cuts are raw, pretty dark. Then you get the younger tracks...

"Danger Zone" shows where they rep, their Hip Hop lineage, "151" is a Hip Hop anthem, straight no chaser. Their lyrics are sharp, traditional, no holds barred Hip Hop. Yet they are unprecedented, something you haven't heard before. Once you get to the end, you'll be asking for more.
