...to all that wack stuff. i pick up all Bigg Jus releases, the man works with staggering consistency. i find the beats on this album much more accessible than the nms albums. as always the rhymes are concious, intelligent and thought provoking. i wanted to temper the praise of the first review but have to say it really is that good. presumably you're checking this as a co. flow or just a Bigg Jus fan but either way you need to pick this up. as good as black mamba serums for me, real solid at thirteen tracks, it's dense like a white dwarf. beats and poetry with the caustic flow make this one of the albums of the year. lone cats. and kev brown are nice too. peace

I couldn't agree with the previous reviewer more. On to the review though.

Poor People's Day is the brainchild of former Company Flow emcee Bigg Jus and G Man. The lyrics can go way above your head if you're not familiar with the teachings of the 5% Nation, but Jus' theories and beliefs are so interesting and thought provoking that they make it all but impossible to turn a deaf ear. Since the production takes a backseat to the lyrics, it makes for the perfect backdrop for his messages of uplifting and waking the poor. The sound from G Man is hard hitting and fierce. The only problem is that the lyrics may be inaccessible to the common listener.

I'm a little different from the other reviewers, I'm not feeling everything Lune TNS drops, most of it is dope, but some of his other albums are too weird for me, I liked the first NMS album, but other than that I haven't heard anything that I thought was all that great until I got this joint, the beats on this thing are easier to listen to than anything else I've ever heard Juss rock over. Great concepts, beautiful samples and Juss doing what he does best, being informative and dope. I can listen to this whole album start to finish without skipping a track, but the standouts include "Supa N---a", and "Orbital Mechanics".
