Though the album shows its age and includes filler ballads, its moments of brilliance and heartfelt optimism resonate deeply.

The review acknowledges the album’s occasional quality but ultimately views it as anachronistic. Discover the nostalgic vibes of Maury B's 'Book Of Rhymes' and explore the roots of Italian Rap culture today!
So many things have horrified me about this latest effort by Chico Snef that I really couldn’t say what disgusted me more than anything else. The alliance with J-Ax three years ago had already foreshadowed a frightening lack of ideas, but I never expected an album so shabby.

The pianistic introduction of the title track grabs us by the ear and transports us straight into an exchange of phrases between McCoy and John. Turn off the computer and go find this awesome disc. You’ll be doing yourself a favor, not me.
