yeah, that is right, i dream to recruit john perkins, jedi mind tricks, ghostface killah, cuz they know the evil that exist in this desolate planet. No one can comprehend wat we are saying cuz the the underground rap artists and fans of them know how the world works. I aspire to recruit immortal technique, john perkins the former economic hit man,read the book:COnfessions of an economic hit man, it has chapter that talks about the CIA pimpin and financing osama bin laden

The only thing funnier than these trashy reviews written by Lil Wayne fans is the Evangelical Christian suggesting JMT start rapping about diabetes and breast cancer. The fact the Christian thinks this is a review of a song instead of a full length album only adds to the irony of this person commenting on some pretty horrible reviews of a JMT album.

I’m not a 50 year old white guy who is afraid to walk down the street after 11 but I am a Christian who believes this is blasphemy against Jesus Christ. It pits Islam against Christians at a time of war. It encourages and thinks violence is cool when we have cops being killed and innocent children being killed in drive by shootings. Hopefully most people listen to the sound of the music and enjoy the beat of the rap but don’t condone what the words of the song talk about. Most of the reviews are by people who enjoy listening to rap and are comparing this rap song with others. In that respect, it sounds like Vinnie Paz and Jedi Mind Tricks on their album Visions of Ghandi, must be right up at the top with other great rappers. As a teacher, we use rap in elementary school trying to teach the multiplication and division facts, but the words are not trash. Let me challenge the rappers to try finding a good cause, such as breast cancer awareness or diabetes control and create raps about it. Or the disasters such as hurricane Katrina or the floods and earthquakes around the world. Rap about them and leave God alone and support good causes not violence.

“but also factually misguided. In “Butcher Knife Bloodbath” Paz asks “Why we in Iran if all that we want is Osama? / Why we in a jam when all that we want is Obama?” News flas—we haven’t been in Iran since the late ’70s. Or, is the reason the line is Iran instead of Iraq because “Iran” rhymes with “jam” better?”

These morons dont even take the time to properly listen to the lyrics, it sounds more like “We we’re in Iran all that we want is Osama,When we in a jam all that we want is Obama” Talk about a Shitty Review

This seems to have gone straight over the heads of all of these reviewers, JMT have esentially been a caricature since Jus Allah left after VBD since he was the one pushing the 5% Nation ideas whic are so prevalent on that album. Vinnie has never been the most coherent lyricist in terms of concept tracks or even social commentary though there have normally been a couple of exceptions per album (think Rage of Angels or Shadow Business), what he is however, is a rapper with an engaging voice and flow and an ability to conjure vivid violent imagery, which is a good skillset for the horrorcore rap that JMT now make. The main selling point of JMT is really Stoupe, who i think many people will agree is really only equalled by early RZA as a producer of dark layered hip hop. Paz’s main role is to acompany this, a job in which he seems to be improving. i was actually impressed with him on this album and felt the worst thing about it was actually the unbelievably dissapointing return of Jus Allah (what has happened to his voice/flow/lyrics?). It is fair to say that this is a pretty formulaic effort from JMT, but its a formuala that works and one that not many other acts use and its still better than 95% of the hip-hop released this year.

Yo, yol don’t know what yol yapping about…In music there is a formula, JMT have kept it consistent through the times and hey, if you got a problem with Paz, i suggest u go listen to some other kat that thinks he can put down way better than Vinnie, but i doubt there is… I rate give thanks to them providing a different twist to that paddy cake rapper kats and leave the horror core alone…JMT freaken hold it down period….

I can understand your first impressions (kind of) and I’m sure it seemed like a fun idea to have a fresh JMT virgin on board but i feel your reviews are superficial. Your right, the beats are ridiculously first class on this album. Yes it’s a dark album. The lyrics are complex, themes and concepts are deep and layered and that’s why they cannot be taken at face value. Like with all quality hiphop you have need the mental capacity to wrap your brain around it, otherwise you just don’t get it.

Really bad reviews. JMT is a group that you really need to hear all their albums to kind of make sense of latter albums. I think they have progressed a lot since the first album. I think if you don’t like intelligent hip hop then this isn’t for you. Sure they cuss lots but I think it is justified and real. Real people cuss. I love the way they refer to diff cultures and ancient history. They are dope. I really like this album. It is easy to listen to. Trail of lies is probably fav track atm.

Actually, just for the Iran comment…Yes, we are in war with Iraq, but our soldiers have moved over the boarders into Iran when chasing militants…It was reported on the news, and also, my friend was over there. So that line makes perfect sense, he is questioning the legitimacy of that method…

If another country was at war with Canada and then crossed into the United States, how do you think our government would react? He’s pointing out the hypocrisy …

Yeah, these guy’s don’t know jack shit though. Check the myspace people, it’s good music people.
