3.0 out of 5 stars from then till now, May 21, 2000

By	"hungriot" (Olympia, WA United States) - See all my reviews

"heavy mental" was an immaculate piece of art that stayed clear of most hip-hop cliches and was soaked in religious mysticism. this album doesn't even sound like it's from the same person. before i even opened the case, i knew i wasn't going to like this album as much as his debut. i looked at the song titles and said "oh no!" it's not a bad album per se, just not killah priest as we knew him. i think maybe he was trying to appeal to a larger audience and was trying to prove himself or something instead of doing what he does best: creating abstract raps that don't sound like anyone else's.

in the future, "view from masada" will not be regarded as a classic like "heavy mental". it will be forgotten because it doesn't sound as provocative compared to the rest of the hip-hop industry.

the addition of 'bounce' beats was shameful.

this album frustrates me becuase a good artist sold out to sound more commercial. it is however, better than anything jay-z or master p could ever dream of making.

4.0 out of 5 stars Are you sure he's part of the wu?, May 13, 2000

By	jErRy ScOtT (tALLaHaSsEe, fLoRiDa) - See all my reviews

I wasn't extremely disappointed to see no wu members on his cd cuz his first cd only had a couple wu, but damn if he is part of the wu he ought to have someone on it, at least meth, or u-god. I'll quit hating on that. If you've never heard Killah Priest he sounds exactly like Black Rob, but a lot better. My fav tracks are "what part of the game" "gotta eat" the track with canibus"i'm wit that", and "live by the gun". In "live by the gun" Killah starts off fast and he sounds pretty tight. I wish he would rap fast more often. This cd is pretty tight though. It would have been 5 stars with some wu members, but go peep it! See for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Master is back, May 10, 2000

By A Customer

After the release of Heavy Mental which flew right above people's mental Killah Priest(aka Masada)had the huge task of net selling out on his next album.Mission completed building the album around the Masada incident itself an culture that surrounded it and translating it to today's world.Fom Gnangsta rap to abortion Killah Priest deilivers this (Read through your histtory saga)The beats are tight done with live instruments the lyrics are a lot more aggressive than heavy meantal yet so beautifuly done it doesnot fall into gangsta rap forum. The whole atmosphere of the album is deep,dark,straight forward and uplifting. Best Hip Hop alvum dince Heavy Mental. Priest fro, the Middle East
