This shit is Amerikkka’s Most Wanted for the 22nd century. Giving this album the same rating as recent efforts by Diggy, Wiz Khalifah, and Ace Hood is ridiculous. You should be embarrassed XXL.

Amen. Production on this album demolishes 98.74% of every other album XXL throws an xl, or even xxl at.

@Mike & El…

You guys still looking for a just review from these nitwits?? The fact they never solved the ‘half-mike’ dynamic let me know that XXL doesn’t quite understand how to do this review thang [plus they got the Sause's fear of 'FIVE']…

HHDX gave ya’ll 41/2 out of five… more credible(?) reviewers IMO.

To me this is the best album of the year so far hands down. Yeah I agree with everybody that’s saying the production deserves an extra large. It far exceded my expectations. The beats are dope, but they don’t over shadow Mike. This is by far his best album and I like alot of his stuff, but him and el-p made a 5 star album. And I’m not giving it 5 cuz I like it. This is a dope ass album. If you ain’t heard it. Hear it.

“its about how the public perceives it as a whole and how its promoted that makes it a classic” …

AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAH!!! … i can’t tell if this dude is being serious or makin fun of XXL’s retarded ratings. if its the latter well done … the former and you get a killer mike “ARE YOU F*CKING RETARDED?!? i’m not even gonna tell you how stupid you are cus you should already know”/thats life

@nquestion- So a classic is based on public perception and promotion? Man, to bad that view point is the exact opposite of what makes hip hop so unique and so good. I could give a damn about public perception and promotion, that ain’t hip hop son. This album is without a doubt XXL worthy. I haven’t heard anything this year that is as dope as this.

L for beats haha yea right. This is easily one of the best albums I herd in a long time. Lyrics and music wise.

An L for beats? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. El-P is one of the most talented hip-hop producers EVER (overlooked genius like Madlib).

Also, how do you not mention the illest song on the album – Don’t Die? The way the beats change – Incredible.

Fuck XXL

This review isn’t whack or anything but L for the beats?! Really?!
Killer Mike is the shit but the so are the beat man. El-p is a great producer and this shit is dope.

should’ve been XXL…with all the ish being dropped today this stands out in a huge way!! It’s good to hear Hip-Hop with a message!

When will you Hip-hop heads get it top-notch material doesn’t warrant a XXL its about how the public perceives it as a whole and how its promoted that makes it a classic so please quit begging for xxl’s its not gonna happen !!!!

@tthz Hell, I could Go back one page and look at the albums that got Xl’s in the past couple of weeks, B.O.B, NWC(who?), Jon Conner ( dope mc, but snooze worthy prod) all get XL. Who cares about commercial success, this album gets back to what made me love hip hop 30 years ago, dope beats, dope rhymes, dope concepts and flawless execution. XXL for sure.

just looking at the garbage that has gotten an XL rating on this site (which is a lot) alone merits this album a XXL. its a damn shame such a refreshing new sound by an artist spitting shit that makes you actually think gets a downgraded rating most likely due to its lack of commercial accessibility. its like the XXL rating standards are so high but the XL rating standards are ridiculously low. well done, guys.

el-p’s shit is different but his shit is bangin though.
