Let’s not beat around the bush. This album is as good as anything made during the height of the Wu and is perhaps the rap album of the decade. Buy it. Spend money on this album. Listen to it and forget every catchy-as-hell but culturally and musically self-destructive song you’ve heard. If I talk the album up too much you might expect perfection. Its not perfect, and we all have different tastes, but trust me –  tracks like Catalina, Black Mozart, House of Flying Daggers, and Mean Streets are definitely “the medicine for yo’ sickness” (c) Rza.

The Chef layed out a feast on this one.
