5.0 out of 5 stars Untouchable!!!, December 22, 2003

By	binghiray (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews

People say too much when talking about this album, and at the same time they dont say enough. So let me say it for them. This is hands down one of the greatest albums ever. On a mainstream level, he wont even get a mention. But "we" know. VP is crap and they shouldnt have added the extra two songs, because they pale in comparison to the rest of the album. Speaking of the original 15 tracks, every single one of them lyrically, style wise, and from a production standpoint are perfect. "Fans" always want to compare his later albums to this one, they should stop. Every album has a different vibes. What they need to do is compare this album with some of Mr. Marley's work, and Til Shiloh, and My Experience, and to be real it should be compared to "great" albums by The Beatles, Elvis, Biggie, Eminem, Tupac, Madonna, Johnny Cash, etc. People need to stop comparing Sizzla to Sizzla, and get him the respect he deserves. He drops an amazing album consistently but garners nothing but criticism for putting out a "slack" tune. When youre "with" your girl, or man, tell me how slack Sizzla is. Once again let me close by saying this is one of the greatest albums in music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rebirth of a Classic. . ., February 23, 2002

By	Achis (Kingston, JA/Philipsburg, SxM) - See all my reviews

I am really glad that VP decided to re-release this hard to find classic, until now, everytime I wanted to hear it, I had to borrow it from someone. (Now if someone could only get Praise Ye Jah re-released) Most people regard Black Woman & Child as Sizzla's absolute best album, and it is without a doubt at least top three. There are no average songs here, all sure smashes and all lyrically nearly perfect. The best of course being the title track. But some of the most lesser known tracks like "No Time to Gaze" and another called "More Guidance", and another called "Hard Ground", of course One Away as well. Another cut called Babylon a Use Dem Brain is excellent as well, and if features Capleton although he isn't given a feature credit, but he is given a writing credit. Overall, if you're a fan of Kalonji and you haven't ever had the opportunity to pick this one up, then by all means grab this one, you have absolutely no reason not to. Amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongest Sizzla album, February 23, 2006

By	Jeremy Casterson (Craig, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Creative, diverse, genuine. Directly from the fields and ghettos-grassroots consciousness, ladies and gentlemen. Sizzla really showcases his voice over rhythmic bongos in "Make It Secure," and Capleton weighs in for the album's sickest track, "Babylon a Use Dem Brain."
