Why are more people not into this?!
27 July 2005
Format:Audio CD
OK, this album is GREAT...esp. tracks 8 and 9...all star guest appearances -- 7 w/Sadat X...King Syze...Immortal Technique and 7L&Esoteric..and the track produced by and featuring Celph-Titled (seriously, does anyone have a better sense of humor in rap than Celph-Titled? Every track he's on, it's like a Joe Pesci in Goodfellas-worthy supporting performance, Eric Gagne closing out the 9th in his Cy Young season, you get the idea... If you like Celph, get Apathy's "It's the Bootleg..." ASAP and be amazed by how his presence on the mic has progressed dramatically over time. Love Celph.)
Anyway, if you like high energy rap...the kind of stuff that makes you want to chug a Red Bull and run 5 miles (or maybe that's just me), get this now. If you like the "feel" of Jedi Mind Tricks but also feel Vinnie Paz's verses are starting to sound a bit repetetive, this is absolutely for you.
...Can't wait for the Demigodz album, whenever it comes it...

really a 4.5, they make me proud to say im from philadel
8 Jun 2005
Format:Audio CD
both of these rappers; Crypt the war child, and Planetary, are some of philly's best underground MCs right now. They both prove it on this cd "blood and ashes" you need to cop this cd if you think you are a real hip hop dude, this cd needs to find its way in your cd player some how, because this is raw, just listen to songs like "angels of death" and "blades of glory" also"the revolution" and many more. Take my word for it you need this album.

What hip hop should be
2 April 2006
Format:Audio CD
This album builds on a momentum of raw rhymes, ridiculously catchy hooks, thumping beats and a huge amount of energy to keep things going to the very last track -- like a few of the other reviews noted, there is not a weak song on here.
Crypt and Planetary complement each other perfectly as they go back and forth destroying every beat. The rhymes are thuggish and witty, both violent and aggressive without resorting to the cliches of mainstream hip hop. On "Gods and Generals": "You could stick Planetary in a circle of thieves, Imma still have the same $#!& I came with when I leave." On "Fire and Fire" Crypt describes his hunger: "I need one mic, one chance and one glance / one fight, one dance to become champ." The Jedi Mind influence is apparent -- on "Cutthroats," Planetary warns over a Spanish guitar beat: "To harm me exact, you're gonna need an army attack / then I'll wash away your soldiers like the laundry in fact / I'm raunchy on wax, you don't really want me to snap." Every guest appearance is on point, especially Celph Titled and Immortal Technique, who come through with blazing verses.
Even though I love Jedi Mind Tricks, to me this album is like a better version of JMT: the same energy and a similar rhyme style over beats that are almost as good as Stoupe's, without the frustrating repetition of Vinny Paz-style lyrical content. This is a case of proteges who have become just as good or better than their mentor, and that's a good surprise. If you like raw underground hip hop, the chances are very good you will like this album.
