Editorial Review:
Before Pharoahe Monch started playing party games, he was working with partner Prince Poetry to put together three of the best albums in hip-hop history. Stress: The Extinction Agenda is the best of this musical triple crown. Every song has an ace beat that mixes loose, jazzy samples and tightly coiled snares. And every song features two of hip-hop's all-time greatest MCs doing their best work, using their voices like instruments to create performances that are intellectually stimulating and rhythmically bangin'. Pharoahe's verse on "Bring It On" is raw enough to force even the hardest MCs to consider careers as accountants. One warning: Q-Tip's alleged guest appearance on "Let's Organize" consists of him repeating the words "Bounce, let's organize" over and over again with minor variations as the song fades. And it's still a great song. --Joe Schloss

Rating: - Why???
Is this damn album so slept on lol. This is the second album made by the duo and man this an excellent album. They had the lyricism they had the beats still questioning why they are slept on. One thing that really stands out about the album that most of the songs on the album change from different moods. As song like "Lets Get Organize" is joyful and has a positive image and then you hear "Stray Bullet" and then everything completly changes from being really dark. This album is very versatile so don't ... Read More

"You will now consider me the apocalyptic one. After this rhyme, henceforth, there is none." - Pharoahe Monch
He had no idea how right he was.
Since Pharoahe uttered this verse, many a talented emcee has come and gone. But the heights Pharoahe reached on The Extinction Agenda are borderline absurd. From comparing a beat to a runaway slave ("Pharoahe, Im no slave to a rhythm I whip it/Then I take its name and change its religion/Then I chop the foot off the f****n' beat/For ... Read More
Rating: - Masterpiece
Ya i said it organized konfusion's stress: the extinction angenda is a classic masterpiece hip hop album. Every song is fire and the production is simply amazing. Old schoo classic right here.
Rating: - This is the dopest most underrated group ever!
