"...to all that wack stuff. i pick up all Bigg Jus releases, the man works with staggering consistency. i find the beats on this album much more accessible than the nms albums. as always the rhymes are concious, intelligent and thought provoking. i wanted to temper the praise of the first review but have to say it really is that good. presumably you're checking this as a co. flow or just a Bigg Jus fan but either way you need to pick this up. as good as black mamba serums for me, real solid at thirteen tracks, it's dense like a white dwarf. beats and poetry with the caustic flow make this one of the albums of the year. lone cats. and kev brown are nice too. peace"

"This album is artistically and poetically brilliant. Bigg jus is someone who has an understanding of the world that few people have. When is the last time that you heard a rapper mention the IMF, world bank and privitization.



Poor peoples day speaks for the 80 percent of the world who are victimized by corporate capitalism and U.S. imperialism.



This album details the intolerable oppression of the people of the world, but it is also somewhat of a jumpoff or catalyst for change.



At one point, Bigg jus reflects on the U.S. supported Coup-d'etat on venezualan president hugo chavez........wow..(by the way, hands off venezuala, i'm looking at you, U.S. gov.)



Bigg jus please keep making music for music fans who read, think and appreciate uniqueness.

Being Poor Is Not A Crime [4 Stars]

"I couldn't agree with the previous reviewer more. On to the review though.



Poor People's Day is the brainchild of former Company Flow emcee Bigg Jus and G Man. The lyrics can go way above your head if you're not familiar with the teachings of the 5% Nation, but Jus' theories and beliefs are so interesting and thought provoking that they make it all but impossible to turn a deaf ear. Since the production takes a backseat to the lyrics, it makes for the perfect backdrop for his messages of uplifting and waking the poor. The sound from G Man is hard hitting and fierce. The only problem is that the lyrics may be inaccessible to the common listener."
