Critical reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

The Washington Post wrote that "Def Jef's black nationalist microphone rhetoric, his intellectually challenging lyrics and his hardy, Bronx-accented voice rival the skills of other rapping activists such as KRS-One and Public Enemy's Chuck D."[7] The State determined that Def Jef "takes his poetry more seriously than the other MCs... Not only do the words mean more, the backing tracks are also spicier, laced with tasty nuggets of funk and classic R&B."[8]
