"I made the horrible mistake of buying this cd for the fact that it was produced by organized noize and backbone was part of the dungeon family. Dungeon Family + Organized Noize Production = Definite Hit right? WRONG!!! I'm a big fan of both parties, but I honestly don't know how or why they released this trash. Backbone is probably the weakest rapper I've ever heard in my life. He squeeks when he raps....literally squeeks. He sounds like he has indefinite hiccups. Seriously, I would place this album somewhere in the top 5 worst rap albums ever! I don't mean to be a hater, but I spent my hard earned cash on this garbage and ended up selling it for $1 at a pawnshop b/c NOBODY wanted to buy it from me. It's really that bad......."

3 1/2 stars--pretty good album

"I only picked up this album because I'm a fan of the Dungeon Family. There are some standouts on here like "5 Deuce 4 Tre" (which derived from a line Backbone said in OutKast's "Slump") and "Lord Have Mercy" (featuring Cee-lo). "Come See Me" (featuring Sleepy Brown) and "O.K." ride the line between catchy and trite but they still get heavy play in my system. The rest of the songs are okay, nothing to run and tell a friend about, but not bad enough to be filler, either."

South'n Backbone...

"This is one of the tightest CD's out this year!! Compared to all the garbage I've had to listen to, this is top choice (far better than DMX's latest effort.) For some folk, "Concrete Law" may take some getting use to 'cause of some of the flava included on this piece. Songs like the title track and "Like This" have other musical influence to them. But if you listen to cutz like, "Lord Have Mercy," "50 Deep," and a bunch othaz, there's a deep subliminal message lyrically. The song that kept me waiting for this album is "5,2,4,3" and I was looking for more jamz like that, but homie kept it real and hooked up mo' stuff for the ride and that club thang. All 'n all, I think it was worth the grillcheese, and hopefully, the next album will bang hard and still have the positive vibe gittin' gone."
