Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - "He has proved himself to be hip-hop's renaissance man....An experimental and melancholic set.", "The radio-ready sin jam 'Sex, Love & Money' throbs with fat horn stabs and flute runs, and 'Ghetto Rock' pairs classic boom-bap with needling guitar..." - Grade: B, Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "Mos Def has come through with another eccentric, fuming hip-hop album...", 4 stars out of 5 - "Earthy, impressively diverse...Broadening the hip-hop palette without sacrificing, or selling out, its core ideals.", 4 stars out of 5 - "There's no empty rhetoric here, just honest tales of struggle, of tragedy, of lives thrown into fatal tailspins by impossible twists of fate....A bruised and bristling meditation on pain and alienation."
