You might not know the name, but you already know the voice: for years, Rahzel has been the secret weapon in one of hip-hop's best-equipped arsenals, the multitalented band The Roots. As their human beatbox, Rahzel gives the band an unmatched level of flexibility, and on his solo debut, that's exactly what he demonstrates. Alternating between studio tracks and live cuts, Rahzel shows his vocal dexterity as a frontman (the kickin' "All I Know," produced by Pete Rock), a backer ("Southern Girl," "Night Riders"), and all by his lonesome. Though some of the guests make worthwhile contributions, most serve simply to distract the listener from the main attraction, who's at his best when performing solo in front of a crowd--check out the jaw-dropping cover of "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F With" and the one-man Mortal Kombat duel. Ultimately, the self-proclaimed Godfather of Noyze leaves you wanting for only one thing: more. --Randy Silver

4.0 out of 5 stars There's only one thing lacking, March 21, 2000

By	David Sampson (Cleveland) - See all my reviews

I just saw Rahzel perform two nights ago in Cleveland, and then went out and bought the album. As unbelievable Rahzel is on the CD, his act is twice as fantastic live. And I can safely say that since recording the live tracks and interludes from MTM:2000, Rahzel has gotten better. He performed "If Your Mother Only Knew" and "Wu Tang", and the album simply can not touch the live performance. Don't let that stop you from buying the CD however, it is still the single most amazing piece of beatboxing ever laid on wax/silicon.

5.0 out of 5 stars That's HIS name, August 9, 2000

A Kid's Review

When I bought the MTM:2000 I didn't know anything 'bout Rahzel. I can say that I bought this CD 'cause the "Wu-tang Live" sounded really impressive. But later, as more I played it, as more I liked it. I haven't seen that CD for about two months till now , 'cause all my friends want to listen to the MTM:2000 too. I'm also thankful to Rahzel for a record that helped Bravo Crew (my b-boying crew from Lithuania) win first place in Lithuanian breakdance championship. The human beatbox stuff is so amazing, that it's being played in all our parties... Respect to all the hip-hop nation.Peace from Lithuania...

4.0 out of 5 stars "The beat and the chorus, at the same time! "ÿ, January 5, 2000

By	Stach (Amherst, MA) - See all my reviews

When i first picked this cd up some of the songs seemed played out. All were sorta generic. After I kept it on repeat for a while i found that no matter how it sounds it's as addictive as hell. I've owned this cd for only 3 days and the only time it's left my stereo is so i could listen to it at school. The track with Kool Keith has one of the most amazing choruses I've ever heard. The track 'If your mother only knew' Is amazing. Too bad the rest of the cd wasn't as original.
