After a four-year hiatus, on The Sneak Attack the T'cha comes out fighting, as usual. "Attendance" ticks off a list of KRS'S additions to his ongoing revisionist history lessons, before dropping this gem: "All these rappers swear they the best, I know what you're thinking about: 'Where's KRS?'" The blastmaster's ego is still breathtaking. It's this swagger that has always made KRS-One thoroughly hip-hop: his desire not merely to represent, but to embody the music. And if he's gonna get moralistic about what hip-hop kulture (don't forget the "K") really is on tracks like "Hot" and "Hip Hop Knowledge," at least he's spitting it in dope rhymes over dope beats. While younger cats speed along on crispy, digitally flipped beats, none of KRS-One's spare, stabbing beats would sound out of place in an early '90s mix. But, like the man says, what goes around comes around. On "The Mind," he rhymes, "You ain't gotta be a scholar to know the next four years gonna be ill." Fresh for 2001, you suckas. --Jeff Chang

5 out of 5 stars Not for commercial "rappers".......2007-06-04

If you like commercial club rap or g unit etc... Den go some where else but if you enjoy true hip hop with a real messege? Then by all means get Krs one's " The sneak attack" simply because his lirycs are the best you can find and no one can realy top diz dude at all. He's a genious & a master at what he does and makes me proud to support real hip hop.

4 out of 5 stars Like A Piss On The Streets I Exist.......2006-04-16

Not the meat but the fish complete defeat as I?m speaking the heat enter this, witness kris rippin this don?t trip on this skip ahead if you?re ready my show medley is deadly I am about a hundred million mike years away, these players I don?t hate but I?m not here to play

I loved this comeback album, the album really takes off for me starting with Why?
There are intricate flows on here (The Lessin, Why, What Kind of World Are We Livin In- "Churches are ran like corporations praising the dollar, corporations are ran like churches making me holler") and they have something to say.
I got Next was a bit too heavy on the "Emcee v.s. MC, real hiphop vs fake hiphop" tip for me, there are more important and interesting things to talk about than the world of hiphop, and on this album KRS ONE puts things in perspective.
Incredible album. Only a few skips.

4 out of 5 stars Dope.......2005-04-22

KRS-One has dropped consistently dope solo albums for over a decade now. None have been unquestionable classics, but they have all been very good.
"whose the first to flash the heat on the cover?" begins one of Kris's many manifesto or autobiographical tracks ("attendance") while "Hot" and "Hush" call out wack MCs and fake thugs. The crowing achievement is "Raptizm" a tight spiritual track.
I personally don't understand people who hate on KRS's newer albums. He's still doing the same thing he was back in 1988(which is not a bad thing), he drops knowledge, disses, and insight.

2 out of 5 stars Half and Half.......2005-03-26

Not his best stuff. He's running short of lyrical ideas, he recycles his own lines, like Star Wars recycles "I have a bad feeling about this".

Beats are usually cool, I don't care for the popish tracks with the singing. I didn't mind it so much when he sang REALLY BAD back on his first album, but now it's no longer funny, it sounds like pop.

Anyhow, organized religion is crap. I thought KRS understood this back in the day. What happened? Now he's got his own little organization and his own little phylosophy, and his only little diciples and crap, I dunno, it's posative, but then again it's gay like some of his modern tracks.

Anyhow it is cheap, if you have to finish off your collection as I do, then buy it, otherwise go buy his anything BoomBap on back. Or check out:

Kool Keith

El-P

Gang Starr

Mr. Lif

Jedi Miind Tricks

Public Enemy

Non Phixion

Sir Menelik

Most of which is better than KRS' latest works.

5 out of 5 stars Revolutionary.......2005-03-13

His lyrics are extremely powerful. He shows versitality, intelligence and talent at the same time. There is no rapper alive that can do what he does. You need to hear this whether you download it or buy it.

      5 out of 5 stars Kris is untouchable.......2001-06-07

      If you have any appreciation for real hip-hop then you got to get this album. Krs comes back to teach once again.

      5 out of 5 stars Words cannot describe.......2001-05-23

      KRS is amazing, absolutely incredible! He leaves me absolutely perplexed. I bumped this cd in my car and was literally left speechless, it is that deep, and definately of the highest quality. His messages, lyrics, fluency, rythms, beats, and overall composition is stupendous! Second to none. I don't know what else to say. KRS is real, to the core. He is deep and profoundly spiritual (which has a major effect on me). He raps with power, and authority, and it hits you hard. He definately raps with true, righteous, holy spirit. What he says is real. I believe he is in a class of his own, the highest of classes. KRS is one of the untouchables. The substance and depth of his overall musicianship and creativity flows with such tremendous mastery that it will penetrate your soul and knock you to your feet. Big up, KRS! You gave us a masterpiece. Thank-you (and thanks for a clean version too). Keep your art coming!
