This is definitely worth the money. Duckdown has produced a gem here. B-Real's masonic flow is 2nd to none. A definitive must buy!!!

Even though I like hearing B-Real over crazy bonged out Cypress Hill beats and the lack of DJ Muggs does take away something from this release, Smoke N Mirrors still turns out to be an above average to very good album. The Alchemist, Scoop DeVille, Sick Jacken and B-Real himself all make contributions behind the mixing boards. B-real rhymes on this album are some of his best often overshadowing the beat. Smoke n Mirrors turns out to be a good release that C.H. diehard fans should for the most part enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 Stars! B-Real Deal Holyfield!, February 24, 2009

So this is B-Real's first official solo album. I'm a big Cypress Hill fan but I didn't peep the gunslinger mixtapes. This is my first taste of B-Real without Muggs, Bobo, or Sen Dog and I have to say the man can do it solo!

I've only spun it a couple of times but I have no problem giving this a solid 4 stars. Maybe a little more on a good day. B-Real's flow is impeccable, his lyrics are nice, and the beats are banging. This album has a more bounce west-coast feel to it, but it has some real east coast bangers too! Cypress Hill was always about blending styles and this is no different. The songs with Snoop (Dr. Hyphenstein) and Too Short (When We're F**king) are very dope, but Mr. X-Z makes the best appearance on Don't Ya Dare Laugh.

Cypress Hill and B-Real fans definitely pick this up! Even non-Hill heads should pick this up! One of the best of 2009 so far!
