This is what I remember and love about traditional hip hop. These men are lyrical and musical geniuses. No need for vulgarity. Just making music and having fun doing it. I would buy this album in CD, MP3, and Vinyl. Great album. Buy it now.

Chiddy Bang is one of the best groups I've discovered in years! Their whole album is great. That's something you don't see too often these days.

I was in the car last night and remarked to my wife "I don't think there's a single curse word on this album". Now I'm not sure if that's true or not (I'll have to go back and give it a more detailed listen), but it's notable for its good vibes and upbeat feel without all of the nonsense that's been pervading rap and hip-hop these last few years.

The entire album is eminently listenable, fun, light, and upbeat (even what should be a somewhat mean-spirited Bad Day), something rare in hip-hop these days. As "Chiddy" Anamege says in Opposite of Adults, "I got a flow that makes the girls do a cartwheel" -- indeed, to my ears, his rhythmic flow is as good if not better than even that of Lupe Fiasco (my previous benchmark). Some of the lyrics are pretty clever and his word play is top notch. The tracks, like the lyrics, are well layered by "Xaphoon" Beresin (the "Bang" part of Chiddy Bang?)

I'm surprised that this album doesn't have more reviews; there's not a single bad track on the album and it's definitely worth the price of admission.
