XXL is a fake sell-out crap mag and it’s not news for anyone who have a brain. Dickriding stuff that sells for the moment , read: gucci mane, wacka flocka, Rick Ross, fag soulja boy etc etc…Always been and always will. Those artists are what Vanilla ice, Mc hammer was back in the days.

Some dumb clown said purists were killing hiphop.. No little kid, artists dropping albums with only 2 good songs on them is killing hiphop. Big labels who are affraid to let artists be creative and pathetic, talentless muppets like the ones I mentioned above is killing it.

Dated sound? Really? How about this: hiphop was better back then and before some dumbass comment on it, yes I actually like omfgwtf-gang, some songs. The ones without rape in them.

Can’t we all just get along. The album is crazy but definitely an aqcuired taste for the uninitiated. i personally dont enjoy some really old stuff coz thats just not my era of familiarity, but havin come up with alot of Pete rock and Tek-n-stele (da shinin’s that joint) so bein a fan i def give it at least an XL

I love lots of new music, Odd Future, Lupe Fiasco, and many more are fantastic in my opinion, however the fact that they say that it sounds ‘dated’ is moronic. Some of the best hip-hop came out in the olden days, and the fact that time has passed does not detract from their quality. Just because it comes out today doesn’t mean that we should dismiss it as ‘old-sounding.’ Imagine if Illmatic came out today. Would we dismiss it as ‘dated’? I’m not suggesting that this album is another Illmatic, but it is definitely better than most stuff coming out today, and an L rating is silly.

By the way, your blatant insults suggest to me that you aren’t above the age of 15, and the tone with which you present your argument is one of someone who has not really thought about what you’re saying. Calm down buddy.

yeah but there is a difference. illmatic came out in 1994, this came out this year. if uve got an album tht came out in 2011 tht sounds like it came out years ago it dated, and not to mention tht the shit is just a rehash of everything else. u purists are fucking morons. think anything tht sounds like its from 1994 is a classic. ur pathetic.

don't even pay attention to that ATLien person...who took an old school album name, and worships Odd Future, some new cats who are emulating old school rap guys. See the irony in the statement? "The problem with Monumental, however, is its overabundance of guest appearances and its somewhat dated sound." ^ whaddup Meka? What makes a sound dated? Because if what you say is correct, drums, snares, horns are ALL DATED.

I’m from the south and I like all types of hip hop. This album was great. I was already a fan of Pete Rock and Smif n Wessun even the rest of the Boot Camp Clik. No hate. All love.

This lp is what real hip hop lps should sound like , good variation of beats all staying true to the digging in the crates ethos hip hop was built on. These beats only sound dated to noobs and rap heads not real hip hop heads – Petes beats seem to get better and better with time XXXL

Mate, although I like modern music such as Odd Future, I think that people need to recognise greats like Pete Rock more, as without people like him, OF wouldn’t exist.

Also, I thought I was finished, but I’m not. The reviewer states that longtime fans will be happy with this, however it won’t be a classic. Oh my God. Are they seriously saying that it won’t be a classic because it is not appealing to a mainstream audience? Are they serious? Does Pete Rock have to hook up with Lil Wayne to make another classic now? Jesus. Should Smif-N-Wessun just hire Bruno Mars for their hooks in the future? This is a joke. Illmatic didn’t sell many copies when it was released. It is a classic. Reasonable Doubt only sold 420,000 in its entire first year. Those would have been solid first week figures when it was released.

Oh yeah, my rating is as follows:

Lyrics: XL
Beats: XXL
Originality: XL
Overall: XL
