Is Ellipsis

A nice, punchy hip-hop LP with some fun mixing elements that made it feel unique. Could've tightened up a bit and dropped to a lean, mean 40 minutes, but even as it is this is a fun listen. I enjoyed how there seemed to be a constant dialogue between the MC and the DJ, made the album feel more organic and contributed a genuineness that set this apart from other hip-hop efforts.

A lot of clever and easygoing flow. This style to me sometimes gets mired in an engaging and genial but somewhat flattened and monotonous groove. And this suffers some of that but generally kept things smart and funny enough to keep from dropping into the background. Some strong reminiscence of Handsome Boy Modelling School, and there's nothing wrong with that.

This is my favorite flavor of hip hop, tons of samples and DJ work, linguistic gymnastics, and a little bit silly feeling. Good stuff

Holy shit, a rap album from 2003 that could almost be from 1991. Beats-wise it's *very* old school, but the rapping is a bit more modern. Still, the Ice-T influence is clear as day. Update at end: ok, this was really cool. If modern rap sounded more like this and less like fucking Drake or whatever, I'd listen to a lot more of it. 4/5.

Total surprise. This was great.

This album did not make me very happy. It's sort of old-school, but also very outdated hip hop. The breaks on this long album are similar on the tracks and the production sounds late 1990s. The constantly returning Psyche Origami phrase got on my nerves. It's not bad, but in the end quite boring.

It was ok for a hiphop album

A good conscience lyrically forward rap album with some retro beats and smooth samples. They definitely go with a more 90s style with this album with a little bit of flair. This is kinda like a madlib produced album. Lyrically it’s not as strong as some other conscious rap albums but it’s not bad. 6.5/10
