3.0 out of 5 stars
Used Goods (3.5 Stars), June 15, 2005
If you're anything like me, you've been waiting for this album for about 2 years now. Well, the wait is over and the final results are pretty good. Nothing outstanding, but still pretty good. I was a little disappointed that a lot of this stuff is already on a few of his mixtapes, thus the lower rating. Production is handled by fellow Justus League producers Khrysis and 9th Wonder with some assistance from Ayatollah, PF Cuttin, Agallah (a.k.a. 8-Off), and a few others. The album is full of hot tracks and has a few of the usual BCC suspects (Buckshot, Cocoa Brovaz, OGC, & Rock). Tracks like "Boom Bye Yeah", "The Brokest Rapper You Know", and "Peep My Words" all bang without sounding the same. Also, "Rising To The Top" feat. Agallah (from Grand Theft Auto III) is at the end of the album. That alone made this album worth owning to me.
The lyrics on the album are all on point, so most of the shortcomings on this album come from the production side of things. "Heartburn" isn't wack, but it's pretty forgettable -- even the production from 9th Wonder couldn't help that track. "One Two Y'all" has some tight lyrics, but the production has a sleep inducing effect. The fact that some of the tracks are pretty boring is the only negative thing about the album. All of the flows are on point.
Monkey Barz is more than worth purchasing. If you're looking for that grimy, Sean Price vintage flow, it's available here. The production is pretty monotonous from time to time, and there is some mixtape material on here, but it's still worth a listen. I reccomend this one to the casual fans as well as others. But die hards have probably heard most of this material already.
Standout Tracks: Peep My Words, Rising To The Top (My Favorite), The Brokest Rapper You Know, Monkey Barz, Boom Bye Yeah feat. Buckshot, Onion Head feat. Tek, Shake Down feat. Steele & Starang Wondah, Jail Sh*t feat. Rock, & Spliff & Wessun feat. Ruste Juxx

Sorry You're Broke, Sean P, September 13, 2005
I'm surprised the comments on this CD aren't more positive. Sean P should be the richest rapper I know based on the strength of this effort. "I Love You" is hilarious.

MONKEY BARZ, May 19, 2005
1st of all, all the Heltah Skeltah's fans has been waiting for this solo project from Sean Pice=Monkey Barz lp for almost 8 - 9 years now, and is finally released in 2005=) Lyrics=9 & Beats=8.5, i expect to see producers like Shawn J. Period, Baby Paul & Da Beatminerz in the album, but none of them were in there. I also expect to see more tracks on the album, but Sean didn't make the album for me, so i can't complain. I personally copped 3 copies because i know his the "BROKEST RAPPER" in the music industry, so i just wanted to support him by copping more than 1 copy, therefore, he can have money to make another solo album. Last but not least, for the people who doesn't know who is Sean Price, y'all NEED to go cop HELTAH SKELTAH=NOCTURNAL & HELTAH SKELTAH=MAGNUM FORCE straight up...B.C.C., M.F.C. 4 life...
