One of the top releases of 2001
by kyle green Santa cruz, ca United States
Reviewed on October 23rd, 2003
A consistently tight release. It starts with a roughin' up of no skills rappers and I suppose skilled mc's as well who put their talents to poor use on "Rappers, Rappers, Rappers". On "Microphones", Acey teams up with P.E.A.C.E. to put together an anthem to mics that extols the virtues and transcendental power of a microphone in the hands of a rapper who loves it (think Run-D.M.C.'s "Me, Myself and My Microphone"). Aceyalone shows amazing lyrical dexterity with rapid-fire spit on "Golden Mic" and the title-track which also features an oboe on top of the beats laid down by Handle Bars. "Master Your High" is a thorough smackdown to folks who party too hard. The delivery on the track is slow and clear enough to get through to the drunkest among us. With all the solid cuts on this album though, hats off to "Five Feet". Production by Fat Jack is simple without being boring and Aceyalone is at the top of his game here. On one of hip-hops best cuts in this young century Ace-One lays out his need for a little personal space. He hits on overly touchy folk, sloppy drunks (a topic dissected further on "Master Your High") and packed subways. It's the pinnacle of an album tight enough to make you build an altar to this West Coast underground legend.
