CD Reviews

A whole lot better than people here give it credit for.

"This album is excelent. I think it might even be a contender for Keith's best album. I do agree with someone below me who said alot of the sarcasm of this album is flying over people's heads. Even over the head of Amazon's reviewer Dalton Higgins (who I'm sure would be classified under the kinds of people Keith makes fun of on his records). Its oozing with sarcasm, how could this go over your head? Overall this is one of the rawest albums I have ever heard. Basically its his one-man hating on assualt on commercial rap. Insanely enjoyable, especially with how wack today's rap really is. Production is also under-rated. Its experimental, with a raw edge. But for some reason people were surprised that a Kool Keith album doesn't have normal sounding beats. I'm sure eventually everyone will stop sleeping on Keith's albums and realize how stupid they were for hating on him. All the classics got mad hated on (3 Feet High and Rising for example) when they were first dropped."
How come so many people don't get it?

"Yo, isn't obvious?

I mean, he can't make it anymore plain as day:

It's the most sublime of comedy, so fake that it sounds real,

the record's sounds are so totally almost like others that he is making fun of people without them realizing it.

The last few album have been total parody in the most slyest of ways of the hip hop scene.

Each record cover tells you exactly who is is making fun of.

It's total satire!

Look at each record cover since Sex Style and see how the sounds are totalling making fun of others so exactly that they sound like they are really really like that, one thin step between parody and the real thing.

Come'on long time Kool Kieth fans should know he's been doing this every album! From day one.

He is beyond genious at this point!

Every album is amazing on it's own merits, and then when you see the jokes he is making not only in the words but in the sounds, your head expands to the size of the universe!"
Better? Yes. The best? No

"I was very afraid to hear this album, since Black Elvis is not really what every Kool Keith fan would want again. I like this album better then Dr. Dooom, but not as good as Sex Style and Dr. Octagon. If you are a die hard fan like me, you definately like this album. Ok, the beats ain't as great as it was some time ago, but his lyrics are still the best (from east to west :-)) He curses more in the first track then on all the previous albums together and it seems that he is more mad at some rappers then before. That is what this album is about I guess. Dissing all the wack rappers, who shouldn't be famous. To all the real fans, buy it, IT IS WORTH YOUR MONEY! Greetz, Geoffrey"
