"If you're looking for Premier, then go and get a GANGSTARR album. The beats on this album are rare, fresh, and innovative. The lyrics need no comment--if you've heard Jeru before than you know that he's on a level that, for some reason, are only appreciated by a few. Miss Marvel is, without a doubt, one of the top 5 females I've ever heard. Those that think she needs to work the "kinks out", obviously are not listening to the lyrics."

I love Jeru but I got to be honest

"I have been a Jeru fan since he appeared on Ganstarr's cut "WHO'S THE MAN" I love 6 out of the 14 cuts on this album, ehich are "Great Solar Stance", "Verbal Battle", "Presha", "Blak Luv", "What a Day" and "99.9 Pa Cent". I knew that Primo did not do anything on the album, so I expected not to hear what I was used to hearing beat wise on this album. I listened openly and accepted that the beats were cool but could have been better. His production needs work. Jeru could have enlisted the help of many of the up & coming Dj's/producer's that exist in Hip-Hop today to aid in this album. I read a review that it will grow on you and it has grown on me. I'm proud to see Jeru doning his thing on his own thing. I miss the Jeru and Afu Ra team ups. NOW THAT IS A SUPAHUMAN KLIK !!!!!!! He also does alot more cursing on this album than he has done in the past. Don't mind the cursing but don't go into overkill with it like on "Bicthez Wit Dikz". That same Jeru vibe is still there, he will never lose anything in that department. He's one of the illest MC's to date. Once he works out the kinks, he will shine even more glorious than he did before. I like Miz Marvel to a point. She starts to sound redundant. But she has the ability to reck shop once she works out her kinks. In my final opinion, this album was a learning experience for both Jeru and Miz Marvel. The next album, I know will be BANGIN', due to the fact that Jeru is always looking to out due his previous work and learn from his mistakes. So for all who have lost hope don't, because this only the beginning, a test and it will only get better. Knowing Jeru, I will most definitely put anything on it. Remember... you can't stop the prophet!!!!!! Peace and Blessings"
