| | Jedi Mind Tricks Army Of The Pharaohs CD Jedi Mind Tricks Discography of CDs
 (21 Customer Reviews)
Since their debut, Jedi Mind Tricks have invited a legion of guest rappers to their full-lengths, and Army of the Pharaohs could well be the dénouement; under the billing "Army of the Pharaohs," nearly a dozen different rappers make a total of 50 appearances (all those on just 13 tracks). Also, the record apparently has a concept behind it (from the subtitle "The Torture Papers," at least), but neither Vinnie Paz nor Stupe nor any of the guests ever enlighten listeners about what the concept is, or what it means. (The best bet is yet more conspiracy theories, perhaps wrapped up with some Egyptology, and endless Middle Eastern war.) The only things left to glean from this record are the performances and the productions. As for the productions, it's mostly the usual horrorcore rap, already heard on all of JMT's many full-lengths (itself cribbed from old Gravediggaz or Wu-Tang records). The performances aren't much better, although four of the guests -- the great Esoteric, Apathy, and Celph Titled, plus producer 7L -- do make things interesting on their best appearances: "The Torture Papers," "Listen Up," and "King Among Kings." ~ John Bush

Hey mister lopez dont call me boring and whack, your boring and whack, you and your mr. buster rhymes. listen to beer barrel polka if you would like to hear a slamming beat that is deaf and fly. other than that it was boring and whack to try to read the crap you wrote, you need to go back to school and learn to write.

A CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first time I listened to this album, I thought "Classic" all the tracks are good from start to finish. Tracks "Battle Cry", "Into The Arms Of Angels", and "All Shall Perish" are some of the best tracks I have ever heard from the whole Jedi crew. If you like this album check out "Eastern Philosphy" by, Apathy and "The Gatalog" by Celph Titled.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No do you understand real hip-hop?
for the people who reviewed this album as "boring" or the beats are "whack" aint hip-hop fans, when you put together a group of lyrical mc's as good as this bunch, the outcome is something special, the lyrics are real none of this "pop rap crap" real poetry on the mic, apathy,vinnie paz, celph titled,7l&esoteric & outerspace have created a real underground treat something unique and special to hold onto. "into the arms of angels" is so real. look out for any artists releases especially apathy "eastern philosophy" jedi mind tricks "servents in heaven, kings in hell" and celph tilted "the gatalogue" a four disc dispaly of quality underground hip-hop
