...CLOSING RHYME...
...award for Most Violent Film Ever has been recently handed off to Mel Gibson, Quentin Tarantino certainly provides his fair share of splattered glory in last year’s instant midnight-movie classic.

Lyrically, Jay has never been stronger, his rhyme schemes weaving and his wit razor sharp. Production, meanwhile, is also excellent. Even the weaker beats simply let Hova annihilate them as he exhibits his mastery of cadence, tone, flow, and inflection—things we’ve been taking for granted because he’s had them down for so long...
