I can see why this album was such a masterpiece of independent hip hop in the 90s, as the energy and atmosphere was unlike any other.
There are some really good beats throughout and El-P steals the show from a lyrical standpoint. But there are also many beats with mundane loops that I found forgettable.
In retrospect, this album feels like it lays the groundwork of what was to come from El-P and his crew. And in that regard, I respect this album even more.
