Despite being an '80s rap album, I think it holds up incredibly well. There's a lot of modern elements PE pioneered, including more complex rhyme schemes, more dense sampling, and the shift to more conscious lyrics. Highlights for me are "Bring the Noise", "Don't Believe The Hype", "Rebel Without a Pause" and the goofy Flavor Flav showcase, "Cold Lampin' with Flavor". 4.5 Stars
