CD ReviewsStepping in where others left off Robert Anstey | New York, NY | 08/07/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "If you were on the verge of tears when Tribe broke up and Q-tip released a terrible album, you need to start listening to Slum Village. They will relieve the pains that were created when the forerunners of hip hop, atcq, called it quits. I mean, their name even comes from a Quest song." They Thought They Were Slick!!! Pseudonym | Chicago, IL USA | 10/15/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Man, the S to the Vee thought they were slick disguising themselves as J-88. I lucked upon this record by accident. I am SO glad that I did. I am one of the world's biggest Slum Village fans. I've been down with them since Jay Dee produced two tracks on the Mad Skills album, "From Where?!" back in '96. They are the saviors of hip-hop right now. They brought excitement and true musical innovation back. From the intro, "From Detroit With Love" to the last of the "Look of Love" remixes, they are bringing the REAL....That last remix is a bit chaotic and off-beat, but hip-hop is about progression and pushing limits (shout to Hiero). Yes, everyone complains about the lack of depth and total lack of respect of females in their lyrics. But, you know what? They're REAL. Lyrics inspiring Brothers to handle their biz, make that music and love your woman (you have to dig deep in the sea of misogny to find some "light") is a LOT better than hearing continously tired lyrics about jewelry, flossing, gear, and vehicles. GOD BLESS THE SLUM and J-88!! If you are a true SV head, look for J-88. You won't be sorry!!!" Bring Back Dilla! J. Olson | Canada | 10/12/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is classic Slum sounds. I don't think I can think of another group that mixes so well with production and voice tones. Even though they are not doing entire albums anymore, I really enjoy this classic SV sound. A few of the tracks are fillers, but if you are a beat nut, Dilla drops it everytime. Your neck will be sore after listening to this..."
