Mr. Lif - Mo' Mega

El-P handles production on eight of the eleven tracks, with Mr. Lif producing two and Nick Toth producing the last.

OK, so, the first three songs are good but I'm starting to feel a little odd about how this record is progressing. It's turn for "The Fries," now, and the breakdown and segue into another beat is surprisingly refreshing, a little too refreshing... I wonder why? By the time we get to "Take, Hold, Fire!" however, which, given the guests (Aesop Rock & El-P) should have been a monster track, things are starting to get a little stale, and things are also starting to make sense. It's not that the music is bad, it isn't; it's that, simply, there's been too much of the same thing. In fact, I'd say that "Take, Hold, Fire!" does exactly what El-P was trying to do with this record best: the heavy beats, the stuttering funk, the dirty music, etc, but, being that it's the fifth song, it has lost a lot of its impact.

Mr. Lif - Enters the Colossus

I bought this EP on the same day that I bought the Stereolab album. The person who sold me this CD was black.

There are eight songs in toto, including the obligatory hidden track, and the EP lasts about 31 minutes. Insight, paWl, Fakts One, Lif and El-P take care of the production duties, providing freewheeling — if in fact I can once again use terms like 'freewheeling' — old school beats.

Mr. Lif - Emergency Rations

I bought this EP on the same day that I bought the Aesop Rock album. The person who sold me this CD didn't seem to want to be black.

There are seven songs in toto, excluding the obligatory hip hop intro, and the EP lasts about 28 minutes. Edan, Fakts One, Lif and El-P take care of the production duties, providing freewheeling—if in fact I can use terms like ‘freewheeling' —old school beats.

I Phantom

I like hip hop. I hate skits.

Lord, do I hate skits. There is nothing worse than the flow of the album being interrupted by a pointless, moronic skit.
