the production is solid, along the lines of their bredren dj shadow.

Gift of gab is an excellent lyricist, but, it's his voice i have a few difficulties with.

I don't know, it's kinda like the uk emcee thing and why they don't blow up here, it has to do with their accent. I don't think his pronunciation flows so easy over beats. He's very proper-sounding. Sounds like some white suburban kid rapping.
