I agree with a few of the complaints from the person who gave this 2 stars, but I think rating this album so low is way too harsh. Some people are far too picky and hard to please.

Def Jux really went out with a bang with this release, and the fact it's so good only adds to the disappointment of seeing the label go on "hiatus". I've noticed this has been one of the most slept on and least mentioned releases of theirs which is a real shame because it's definitely one of their stronger efforts in the last few years. There's a couple of tracks that miss the mark but all in all this is a solid compilation album, I'll break it down track by track:

This cut has such a spaced out grimy beat that it makes the track alone, but Aesop, El-P and Cage smash it properly leaving it one of the… Read more
