5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hip Hop Album of 2003, April 18, 2004

In a word: AMAZING! This album is one of the most complete records I have heard in a long time. The album gets started with a great intro "Droppin Crazy Science Yo." I generally don't like intro, outros, or skit...they're usually just filler. But this is a laugh out loud skit/song poking fun of mainstream rap songs. From there the album just gets better. Perhaps one of the best songs ever is "Insomnia 411" featuring Slug and Jean Grae. The beat is ridiculous...a 4 chord piano underneath a pulsing bass line. The lyrics dropped by Kimani, Slug, and Jean are heartfelt and express raw emotion. There is probably more emotion on the chorus than on any R&B album out there. This album covers everything from the state of hip hop to love to being jacked by Kurt Loder! Do yourself a favor and open up your mind and ears to this album...you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite new albums, April 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Something Gotta Give (Audio CD)

This is one of the most slept on LPs of 2003. Len and Kimani come together to put a less serious, but very critical album. Kimani raps about everything from love, to making fun of underground hip hop. This album is a new-classic and should be bought if you are a hip hop head.

Kimani from Masterminds and Mr. Len from Co flow get together to make one hell of a record. Funny and serious with good beats and great flows. Catchy choruses. Word. Also features slug.
