    Song writing at its very best

    A master of all trades
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    What could be a novelty record is transformed into a deeply satisfying experiment. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   Mojo

    In truth it's a funny-but-substantive record that works on many levels. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   The Scotsman

    This record's certainly designed to offer nothing but guilty pleasure

  7. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    The torrent of self-scorn here is delivered with such sincerity and wit that when he likens himself to Seinfeld co-writer/Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David, the comparison feels exactly right

  10. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Good, sometimes very good, but it falls short of being great. Nevertheless, if this really is this world’s first orchestral rap album, here’s hoping there’s more to come

  11. 7.0 |   Clash

    An impressive album, but the main impact is almost certainly in the live incendiary, incisive and ego drenched show

  12. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Represents a shake up of the status quo in hip-hop culture
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   BBC

    Whatever the setting he chooses, you know there’s always going to be enough intellect lying alongside the vulgarisms and cheap jokes to make him engaging

  14. 6.5 |   Bowlegs

    The comic injection can create a throwaway vibe at points, but you can’t dismiss the man’s talents and his play on words

  15. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  16. 6.0 |   State

    This high-concept caper isn’t as Unspeakable as it sound
    Read Review

  17. 2.0 |   The Fly

    Sees him continually mock-boasting about his talents, then dismissing them with deliberately rubbish rhymes that aren’t even bad enough to be funny
