Transcription

Critical reception

The Chicago Tribune thought that "producer-rapper Wild Style's mesmerizing musical compositions may be the group's strongest asset ... Dubbed the 'Rodeo' style, the work of the Windy City beatsmith contains insistent keyboard, twangy guitar and dynamic drum patterns that explode from the speakers."^[4] The Chicago Reader wrote that "the relentlessly hysterical, nasal speed-rapping turns the 75-minute CD into a suffocating sonic beatdown."^[5]
