But listening to this album was like the part in the movie where the underdog basketball team is down by 2 points with 5 seconds left and a 3 from half court bounces around the rim for about 15 seconds in slow motion and then finally bounces out of the rim at the buzzer. This is why this album is a 3 at best "First time I hear dude wanna see me/ I get greasy start grinnin like he he he he" "Dude I'm the king like Martin Luther/ you the loser like Bush" "Drink a 5th with me/ on some amazin shit like an epiphany" "We back muthafuckas/ and we black muthafuckas" "1st day of school/ you made it/ 1st grade 2nd grade 3rd grade 4th grade/ you made it" "I be tellin em don't laugh but it's too funny/ hahaha/ yo buck lets just get this money" On this album, KRS just makes poor lyrical decisions and even his best moments are not rewind-worthy and Buck has to work overtime to save every track.

“First time I hear dude wanna see me/ I get greasy start grinnin like he he he he”
“Dude I’m the king like Martin Luther/ you the loser like Bush”
“Drink a 5th with me/ on some amazin shit like an epiphany”
“We back muthafuckas/ and we black muthafuckas”
“1st day of school/ you made it/ 1st grade 2nd grade 3rd grade 4th grade/ you made it”
“I be tellin em don’t laugh but it’s too funny/ hahaha/ yo buck lets just get this money”

On this album, KRS just makes poor lyrical decisions and even his best moments are not rewind-worthy and Buck has to work overtime to save every track.

Lyrically he is complex, and as much as i like lyricists that probably bore the rest of you, Buckshot honestly bores me. Besides, out of the Boot Camp Clik, i can name off the top of my head a bunch of members more memorable and better people than him. Strang Wonder, Sean Price, Tek AND Steele. He's just not that entertaining, but no need to be a cunt about your opinion. I love Black Moon records, its just he isn’t the reason.

Out of the 5 reviews I've read on this album, I have to say that I agree with you the most. Although, I'm on the same page with JSK about the rating. 3 seems a little too low, even with the few missteps. "Robot" is amazing. I wasn't really feeling the chorus at first, but now I sing that shit everytime I hear it. The meaning of the song says so much about the hip hop game today, and already gets props for coming out and saying it. Buckshot cracks me up using the autotune. Mary J Blige and Talib Kweli add great vibes to their two tracks. MJB can make any hip hop song sound fly with her chorus on "The Way I Live". I was a little dissapointed that Talib didn't spit on "Oh Really", but his verse-like chorus is fucking ill. Immortal Technique absolutely murders "Runnin' Away"... "They treat niggas and spics like tigers and lions/Cute little babies but when they grow; put em behind iron/Let them join the military, fight for the country hard/Throw in some college money, get em a green card/Get a black Pinocchio president to lead/But controlled by an old white Geppetto on Wall Street". I'm sure he put out his best for KRS-One. And for you slow niggas, Geppetto is the old men who created Pinocchio. KRS & Buck change up the style for K'Naan's "Think Of All The Things". This just proves how talented these two emcees are to pull this off. Khrysis and 9th Wonder do a great job behind the boards on "Amazin'" and "Past Present Future". These beats really help the featured artists shine. Tracks like "One Shot", "Hear No Evil", and "Murder 1" keep the album from being one of the year's best. It's not that their terrible tracks, but they should be better for KRS and Buckshot's status. Top 5: Robot, The Way I Live, Oh Really, Runnin' Away, Past Present Future Grade: (4/5) A- ("This is some amazin' shit") ...How about a KRS-One & Sean Price album now??? Nice Review Saule.

KRS & Buck change up the style for K’Naan’s “Think Of All The Things”. This just proves how talented these two emcees are to pull this off. Khrysis and 9th Wonder do a great job behind the boards on “Amazin’” and “Past Present Future”. These beats really help the featured artists shine.

Tracks like “One Shot”, “Hear No Evil”, and “Murder 1″ keep the album from being one of the year’s best. It’s not that their terrible tracks, but they should be better for KRS and Buckshot’s status.

Top 5: Robot, The Way I Live, Oh Really, Runnin’ Away, Past Present Future

Grade: (4/5) A- (“This is some amazin’ shit”)

…How about a KRS-One & Sean Price album now???
