1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy!, March 8, 2005

By	HearingDeafOne (Bronx, NY) - See all my reviews

If you're a Kool Keith fan, don't buy this! It's not legit! Just a stupid Ced Gee basement tape...

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this album!, March 25, 2003

By A Customer

Show some respect for the legend Kool Keith, don't buy this album. It's a collection of practice runs and things that were never supposed to see the light of day. Ced Gee released this himself ...
It was this type of perpetrating that prompted Keith and Tim Dog to hit the studio again and release an album simply titled "ULTRA-Big Time." You should buy that one instead and peep the original "Keep it Real," a song targeting Ced Gee and advising fans not to buy his 'basement tapes.'
Fun Fact; The cover of this album is a strange collage of obscure pictures put together in photoshop. Keith flipped when he saw a face on this album cover that he didn't even recognize. The guy was just as surprised to see his face on the album! Show Keith and Tim Diggity some love and buy the "Ultra" album instead. This is an illegitemate album. Keith is a perfectionist and he obviously isn't proud of this material. Don't buy it. ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Bootleg but great, August 9, 2007

By	MikeGibbons "Mike" (Orleans, MA) - See all my reviews

This collection of unreleased Ultra basement tapes apparently was released without the legendary Kool Keith's consent. That sucks. The CD doesn't, though. Hilarious Kool Keith/Ultra brilliance. "Biscuits and Eggs" and "I'm F*ckin Flippin" are as bizarre and brilliant as anything Kool Keith has ever released. "Grip the Mic" is a smoooooove Keith freestyle over a fly beat. "Catchin Bodies" has that 1992 jazzy flavor with Keith catching wreck on the mic. Again, it sucks that Keith didn't want this released, but its a must have for the Kool Keith/Ultra completest.
