5.0 out of 5 stars Tame One Is Ill, No Doubt, March 26, 2003

Anybody that knows anything about underground hiphop knows the Artifacts(Tame One and El Da Sensei), who repped the golden age feel with a new school attitude. Some years after these two incredible MCs laid the Artifacts to rest, Tame One reappears on the scene as a solo artist, signs to Eastern Conference (Making him labelmates with such cats as CAgE and Copywrite), becomes a member of the contraversial supergroup "The Weathermen", and releases "When Rappers Attack". This album features a freshly energetic lyricist whos flow and style have only gotten better as time has passed, and production from virtuosos like DJ Mighty Mi of the High and Mighty, underground producer/rapper extrordinaire J-Zone, and newcomers DJ Porno and Johnny Dangerous. Among the illest tracks is the J-Zone produced "Tame as It Ever Was", and "Leak Smoke" which features CAgE as the only guest appearence. This album proves that for a select few MCs, time and maturity only amplifies skill. This is a solid release from EC, but so is every other thing they ever put out.

Tame One finally hits us off with an LP and was it worth the wait? Kind of. This was a preety dope LP featuring production from RJD2, J-Zone, Mighty Mi and Camu-Tao and Tame came off HARD. This album hit much harder than El da Sensei's "Relax, Relate, Release," but honestly I liked El's LP better. (that's just my opinion)

When I first put the CD in the deck I couldn't tell it was Tame One at first. His voice got grimey and it'd been so long since he released anything that I almost couldn't tell it was him. After a few cuts into the LP you realize it's Tame, just a little older, but hungrier than ever. Battle rhymes and beat downs are delivered throughout this LP leaving "weak emcees" in the dust.

This album was preety solid, but I had higher expectations due to El's album and because of how long it took Tame to release this. All in all it was worth the cash I gave Sandbox.

4.0 out of 5 stars NOT BAD BUT NOT GREAT, June 29, 2004

I picked this album up the day it dropped because I've been a huge Artifacts fan since I first heard Wrong Side of The Tracks. I've had this album for over a year and still keep it on heavy rotation, but this joint definitley lacks the intensity from Thats them. Too bad there's no chance of an Artifacts reunion, I don't think there's any beef between Tame and El, but I've read interviews from both stating the chances of them getting together are slim and none, anyway, if you're into good battle type rhymes pick this up, Tame is rarely off point and he has some good beats here, unfortunately for some of us we've heard a few of these joints on compilations already and the album is pretty short, other than that its a good buy. Oh yeah, look out for Leak Brothers which is Tame and Cage doing an entire album dedicated to PCP, kinda messed up but should be phenominal. Also Artifacts fans who haven't heard El Da Sensei's solo album pick that up for sure, in my opinion it's way better than this one.
