"A 4 star album here. This album is not a 3.5 stars or a 4.5 star rating. Just a pure simple 4 star rating. 4 star rating from me is astonishing. Killah Priest is a well self educated emcee. "Priesthood" is his best album to date and will probably be either his last or next to last album. He might bless us with one more. His last album effort "View from Masada" was not exactly what Killah Priest fans expected. His first album "Heavy Mental" is above most hip-hop albums. There are tracks on Priesthood that make this album shine. Timeless cuts like "My Life" and "My Hood" with a few others, but also there are a few tracks that are not exactly great material. Tracks like "Heat of the Moment" and "Theme Song" but overall this album is nice considering what hip-hop has become lately. Priesthood breaks down the basic facts of street life and the struggle of religion. If you wish to elevate your mind and catch a heavy mental of what hip-hop should be more like, then check this album out. When you check it out, listen to it a few times before you make a decision of how ill this work of art really can be."

"Return of Masada the Beloved...but he did it right this time. While Heavy Mental was raw and unaplogetic (and still Priest's best work), and View From Masada was...well, a little too fruity as far as beats go, Priesthood is a successful melding of the two. The beats here aren't as gritty as a lotta joints off Heavy Mental, but they're good. Lyrically, Priest has never lost his touch. With one of the best rhyme structures in Hip Hop, K.P.'s flow will hold your attention every time even if the beat doesn't. Personally, I was disappointed that "Places Where Pharoah's Go" (recorded in similar fashion to the track "Heavy Mental") is so short compared to it's predecessor. That fact doesn't really take away from the album, but had it been longer it coulda added something. But yo, Priest shines again, and shows a lotta promise for things to come. Priesthood, at least lyrically if not musically, is one of the best pieces of work in Hip Hop this year. If you don't love lyrics, and aren't inclined to spiritual things, then leave this album alone. Otherwise, pick it up."
