"in terms of lyrical content, flow and deliverance this album is perfection.forget the other slim shady albums this is eminem at his true genius.dr dre's best work to date."
"can't really say anything about this that hasn't been said before.true hip-hop the way it was meant; from the streets and not for the mainstream like todays bullshit."
"vinnie paz (or Ikon the verbal hologram) is one of the best rappers of all time no doubt about it.raw sound and excellent production from the underground scene.stoupe is the ultimate producer."
"sadly missed.wiped the floor with tupac and biggie.punch lines are hilarious.if you like your hip hop violent,raw and funny then this is for you.jay-z's best ever verse appears on this album."
"second appearance from nas.another class album.lyrically brilliant and absorbing album.one of the best mc's of all time.jay-z had to bow down to nas after ether."
"first appearance froma british artist.quite possibly the best live rapper alive.only sway is on a lyrical par with dizzee.put british hip hop on the map."
"the first hip hop album i was exposed to.the first time i witnessed the strength of street knowledge.eazy-e is the funniest rapper ever-just listen to gangsta gangsta and 8-ball."
"was so disappointed when they sold out and joined the destroyer of hip-hop 50 cent.this is amazing for a couple of 19 year olds.i'll never look at them the same now tho."
"superb album-top notch lyrics once again-noone can deny he is the best living rapper and has never sold out like the rest eg.eminem,jay-z busta rhymes etc."
"a good album although not a classic.simply on the list as it contains eminems best ever verse on we all die one day.obie is overshadowed by guest appearances and doesnt have the ability to shine."
