4.0 out of 5 stars Another dope Stones Throw record, November 13, 2004

In '99 Wildchild, Madlib, & DJ Romes came out as the Lootpack. This album is the closest we have got to another new Lootpack album since. Madlib and his little brother Oh No handle the production and this album is definitely proof that Oh No can step out of his brothers shadow and shine on his own. Anyway this is a Wildchild album so does he hold it down? Yes. His flow is perfect for these style of beats and he spits some hot lines. His flow is all his own. It has the feel of the laid back Cali vibe but at the same time you could play these tracks at a party without killing the energy. He holds the album down even with guests such as Aceyalone and LMNO. Romes brings the cuts into the album to give it that original feel (more artists need to incorporate the DJ). There are a number of guests but they never outshine Wildchild. Overall this album is another solid release from stones throw with the lyrics and the beats being sick throughout. It is Wildchild's album but Madlib's beats are definitely reason enough to pick it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't Stop Won't Stop!, November 13, 2004

Man Stones Throw is on a roll this year. First they drop Jaylib and Charizma at the end of '03; then they bust out Madvillain, Stevie, Oh No and now Wild Child. This album is no Jaylib or Madvillain but that's not to say it's weak. This album is, in fact, great.

Having picked up Oh No's 'The Disrupt' five minutes ago I'm still riding the Stones Throw train of thought - that is to say that you can't EVER go wrong with the production and that while the lyrics are an acquired taste they do grow on you without even having to try. There is very little effort invested in liking Stones Throw hip hop right now because Madlib and brother Oh No, as producers, are at the top of their game. For the beat-miner in you these brothers will not let you down - Madlib never lets you down beat-wise and Oh No is distinguishing his own soul-heavy style that is most certainly similar to his older bro but distinct nonetheless in that he opts for a crispy, more coherent sound than Mad's often experimental sound.

Wild Child is not the most memorable MC as far as lyrics of flow goes. He can definitely hold his own on the mic but there's nothing really there to write home about. I love his energy, it's reminiscent of a Busta Rhymes circa Leaders of New School. Similar to Oh No's album, where the lyrics come off as the weaker half of the beats-lyrics combo, Secondary Protocol's production will jump off your speakers and into your heart way before you start warming up to the flow.

I can't get enough of Stones Throw right now. They never let me down. This album is a must-buy solely based on the fact that they are emerging as history's most slept-on rap label of all time. Support these guys, they deserve your love and your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars 1/2 of the Lootpack... well kind of..., May 23, 2006

Solo LP from 1/2 of the LPs, but preety much everybody makes a cameo. Two thirds of the production is handled by Madlib himself and the rest is by Madlib's lil' bro Oh No. The result... a solid album that feels like a Lootpack release, but without the helium voiced Quasimoto and mumbly Madlib on the mic.

One of the drawbacks, like one of the other reviewers stated, is that Wildchild has to let you know his name, "Wildchild aka Cracker Jack," all the time. Despite that, the beats, the rhymes... it's all good. This is yet another dope Stones Throw release. Bonified headphone material.
