Critical reception

Шаблон:Music ratings The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that the group "overcomes charges of being a mere novelty act with its spectacularly successful interpretation of James Brown's 'Sex Machine', which manages to make clear the roots of funk that lie deep within rap."[2] The New York Times noted that the album "can rapidly become wearing, once the initial impact of its jokes and satire wear off."[3]
