When I first heard "IT'S All Real". I had to find out who were these cats rhyming over this DJ Premiere beat. When I found out it was Pitch Black, I had high expectations for this album. Now this album is finally here I'm mad disappointed. These are some hardcore street cats, why is Teddy Riley producing on this album. The beats he produced on are (Geechy, My Life) those tracks really hurt the album. It's like the Lox rhyming over Quincy Jones Beats! These cats lyrics are forreal. But no beats to back em up. Swizz Beats produced 2 tracks (Shake That, N.Y.C.) Those tracks are O.K. Over all it's a O.K. album. They got appearances by Buster Rhymes and Foxy Brown but they didn't help the album any. Once they get better production these cats will be a group to look out for. My overall opinion of this album is 3 stars. I wouldn't tell my boys to run out and get this album.

After hearing "It's All Real", I knew I had to get this CD. So after 2 months of waiting for this album, I copped it at Best Buy for 6.99, and it was well worth my money. This record dissapoints becasue it doesnt have the same style as "Its All Real". I thought this would be some ill underground record, but it was leaning towards the mainstream, with only a little underground edge. Dissapointing, but good. I love some mainstream sound so it's not horrible, just a different style then I expected. Has a few good tracks, but Premo should of produced more then just 2 cuts. "geechy" is the worst track, while "Its all real" is one of the illest tracks of 2003/2004.

I must admit that I had high expectations for this album. After hearing the song and seeing the video for "It's All Real", they really had me believing that they were really going to bring it back to the essence with this album. I mean the song and video were street and it reminded me of a time when hip-hop wasn't all about bling bling, girls, money, cars, etc. But after buying it yesterday for only $6.99, I have to admit they got me. Other than the two premo joints and one other song, I couldn't believe what a waste of my money this was. I mean they did songs songs with Swizz Beats, Busta Rhymes(who by the way hasn't been hip-hop since 1998), Foxy Brown, and Teddy Riley. Nowadays, too many artists try to appeal to too many audiences in one album. Either do hip-hop all out or do the mainstream rap thing all out.

Is this a joke? is this the same group that came out with DJ PREMIER on "It's all real"? one of the best premo tracks heard in a long time? well, it appears so. This album is filled with nothing but trash, awful substance and poor beats. These guys are the epitome of one hit wonders. Lets just hope they can put as much effort as they did into "It's all real" into some more work, and make a comeback. What a letdown. 1 star just for the one track. PEACE

Im a big east coast rap fan, as you can tell by my reviews. So when i heard "Its All Real" I was so excited and i couldnt wait for this album. DJ Premier is by far one of the best producers in the game. "Its All Real" and "Got It Locked" are the 2 best joints on the album, both produced by him. There are a couple other good songs, like thier second single "Good Times" and "Recpgnize". But for the most part, the rest of the album is filled with good lyrics and horrible production. A decent buy for fans of DJ Premier, as 2 of his best songs ever are on here. Overall not bad for a Rookie album, they show that they have potential though.

like a lot of the reviews have been here this cd is a good debut dont let anybody tell you different people got to hyped over its all real they were expecting a classic release this cd has good guests appereances and not bad production mostly done buy swizz beatz worth a listen if not a purchase

Favorite Track: Its All Real and Got It Locked
Guests:Swizz Beatz,Dj Premier,Busta Rhymes and Foxy Brown
Best Artist of them: G.O.D. his lyrics stand out to me

7.5 of 10 lyrics 7.5 of 10 beats

The CD is amazing "its all real" is good w/ dj pre. Its a hardcore album, the lyrics and music go well together and with the album, u should def buy if u into real hip-hop and not all commerical advertised or over played. other good songs include "to be the best" << nice hook and "reckognize" etc, def a good album, whoever said they didnt like it, dont know what their talkin or just simply dont appreciate good hip-hop music & talent...

for 6.99 i might as well keep it.. its all real is the best track, got it locked w/ fox... busta rhymes track starts nice and is just so boring.. the whole album sucked kind of... but the 1st song was nice.

i was watching 'Rap City Tha Bassment' in my room one day and i saw the video for Pitch Black's 'It's All Real.' right then it wuz my favorite rap. after hearing that i wuz thinkin about how their album would be, i thought it wuz gonna be great. great beats and hot lyrics. i waited 3 months. i bought it the next day it came out, then i started to listen to it. i wuz lovin it. i wuz likin the beats a lot and i wuz lovin the rhymes and the lyrics. all the tracks were good to me, including the ol' skool track 'It's All Real.' but that's not the only hot rhyme. 'Got It Locked' iz hot too. i think Pitch Black iz the group of the future. 'Pitch Black Law'...it's all real.

I dunno what cd you listened to, but Pitch Black Law to me had the perfect beats for their style. For a debut album, this is amazing! These guys have such great lyrical talent, and I thought the beats were excellent too. I mean they are no Just Blaze beats, but they are great beats to get your head nodding. I recommend this cd to anyone who listens to real hip hop.
