Industry Reviews 3.5 mics out of 5 - ...they give the trife life a new set of theme songs, complete with emotionally charged lyrics and backed by neck-snapping beats from an imperial production team....an impressive debut... The Source (11/01/1999)
3 stars out of 5 - ...continues down that road of murderous anti-music...[an] album that could make the most milquetoast member of the AV club trade in his pocket protector for a gun holster... Rolling Stone (03/02/2000)
8 out of 10 - ...they're great at kicking swashbuckling miracles with what is essentially one plotline....comes with the kind of hellfire that'll take you straight to gangsta's paradise. Spin (12/01/1999)
...shatters your eardrums with the intensity of a bar room brawl. The group's rap style brings out a newfound aspect of originality to otherwise mundane chatter about robbery and drugs... CMJ (02/07/2000)
