Shaking my head in disbelief!

"I stumbled across this CD purely by accident and was so amused with the write-up, I had to get it. I half-expected to be entertained but I was royally surprised by the quality of the production and downright funkiness of the beats! These guys are so hot! What can I say, there does in fact exist an awesomely talented Jewsish Rap group (huh?)...aptly titled Chutzpah! They got it goin' on! I've already ordered the DVD with the music video of "Chanukah's 'Da Bomb" and hope they will be following up with one for the song MC Meshugenah (how cute is he?). It's hard to name all my favorites but top three are Curse of the Blessing, Super Jew, and oh it's so hard to choose! They all rock! Ten stars, of the six-pointed variety of course, would do it much more justice than five!"
Total surprise! Really great tracks, real rapping. Smart and

"After seeing the bizarre and entertaining DVD "Chutzpah, This Is?" I looked the group up (on Amazon) and bought "(eponymous)". The DVD had a few music-video scenes based around the songs on this CD and I wanted to hear the whole songs. I found tons of mental and musical talent in the 13 tracks of this release. Raps entitled Chanukah, Yiddish, Superjew, In the Shtetl, and Da Lost Tribe all have very infectious hooks... I couldn't get this stuff out of my head! Very well done."
Slammin'!!!

"Just try to get SuperJew out of your head within 48 hours after your first listen. This is a great hip hop CD, classic old school rhymes w/beats that swing a thoroughly modern punch. And it's funny...as h*!!. If you're a non-Jew like me, you'll laugh...and learn from the cultural cliff notes. If you're Jewish, you'll laugh harder. Get it now while you can still be "in" on the discovery, before Comedy Central gets wind of them and they're everywhere."
Super Hot Jews!

"I am not Jewish but tempted to be after hearing these guys rock out on tracks like Super Jew and Curse of the Blessing. These guys bring it home and make being Jewish cool! I think I have learned more about Judaism in this CD than from all my Jewish friends who seem to keep it quite under their hat. It makes me want to toss the Christmas Tree and light the menorah with them instead! How sexy are these "not-so-nice Jewish boys"? And as for the music, I can't get enough of Da Lost Tribe...I keep hitting the repeat button, a totally infectious reggae rhythm. I can't get the songs out of my head...I woke up this morning with The Shtetl playing through my head and popped in the disc again. I must have listened to this CD at least twenty times in the last three days. That's unheard of, even for someone who loves music as much as I do. All I can say is - Buy it! You are guaranteed to love it and you will have a smile on your face the entire time you listen to it!"
Phat Hip Hop and that's that!

"I've had this album in heavy rotation now for a couple of months. The first thing I notices was that the music was sonically big and the beats were legit and reaqlly interesting in an "OG" kind of way. The more I listened, the more it grew on me. Though I convinced myself I wouldn't get the "Jewish" lyrics, I definitely sold myself short. This album is NOT just for Jews. In fact, I would almost say it's more for non Jews. Now, after some review, I wouold say this albun is for anyone who likes good music. There are phat beat and catchy hooks. What more could you want?"
