Editorial Reviews
Ranked #3 in Spin's Top 20 Albums of the Year [2000] - ...What 'going too far' means: really, finally brought that psycho rude s*** home to the 'burbs....leaving more things unsettled than when he started.
4 mics out of 5 - ...You wanna peep [this LP], if not for the intense lyrics and witty punch lines, at least for the chance of witnessing one of the craziest MCs grow up right before ya ears.
...Should forever erase the notion that [he] is the Elvis Presley of hardcore hip hop. If anything, he's rap's Eric Clapton: a white boy who can hang with the best black talent based on sheer skill - enhancing the art form instead of stealing from it.
...Even more abrasive and offensive....proving again that his imagery and storytelling abilities stand tall over most other rappers...
4 stars out of 5 - ...He's more funny and much more scary....A car-crash record: loud, wild, dangerous, out of control, grotesque, unsettling. It's also impossible to pull your ears awat from.
3 stars out of 5 - ...[His] disaffection sucks you in and the wholesale-nihilism can still provoke shivers...
4 stars out of 5 - ...It has an answer to everything, filling every parking-spot in the towering multi-storey of ego with a triple-bluffmobile....No one else puts such a rocket under rap's self-consciousness or makes it so shocking...
9 out of 10 - ...Real twisted...one long, disillusioned whine....[It] may be the whitenoise of America's Most Unwanted, but it also the product of a talent supremely Untouchable.
...Indefensible and critic-proof, hypocritical and heartbreaking, unlistenable and undeniable; it's a disposable shock-rap session, and the 1st great pop record of the 21st century... - Rating: A-
