Well if God sang an album with all the angels in heaven as back up singers it still wouldn't compair to Jo and Eligh's sacred sound!!!!Ms. Wilkinson basically comes through with the dopest dope you've ever smoked hooks and Eligh just Rips verses in a gray crow fashion only known to him. Album of the century maybe....Jo could punch me in both my ears with rings on and i would still say her music sounds heavenly. If you don't have this album you probably aren't a fan of any music so it doesn't much matter your opinion. E & J usually means blackout nights for Panther and in the case of Sacred ground its the same story. Except when I listen to the album I too take on a mystical form, its superb! Its apparent that God himself was there in the recording studio as they laid down every track. I listen to endless hip hop, and Eligh the Grey Crow is truly the TOP "poet man" -Jo Wilkinson-

sincerely Panther and Snakes

I give this 2 stars only for originality. I don't usually write bad reviews, but everything I read about this album is hype, and sorry to say, this album just isn't "it". If every track bore a similarity to Meditation on Eligh's Poltergeist album, which also featured Jo Wilkenson, we'd have a really cool hip hop album. I truly respect Eligh as an artist, and have for a long time, but this particular collaboration doesn't work. I can't say I'm much of a Folk fan, and maybe it's my narrow appreciation that makes me cringe whenever a song comes up from this album when I have my collection on random, but I don't think so. Hip Hop is versatile enough to work with a lot of different types of music, be it jazz, rock, I've even heard it work with heavy metal, but I don't think the combination of folk and hip hop blend well. And sorry to be harsh, but Jo Wilkenson sucks as a vocalist, at least on this album. I apologize for the lack of respect, but somebody had to put the truth out there.
