GP = Great Product.......2005-11-09

Yo, this cd is a classic. GP had it, this cd was everythin every Wu-Fam or underground hip hop head was expecting. I had bought this once when it came out but it was stolen from me. As this cd was so good, I decided to buy it again. I believe they broke up but I suggest to all buyers to also check out Pop Da Brown Hornet, thats a classic as well. Was worth the money and always will be.

Lots of heads need a wake up call. This is a CLASSIC from the the WU affiliates. Great production and great raps!!! Forget what ya heard, ya need to get on this. It's rare and extremely worth the time, effort, & money spent. A+

I got this with a little hesitation. I mean, I bought the first Killarmy cd, and it was pretty good, but not great, then I got Sunz of Man, thinking, oh if Killah Priest and Shabazz the Disciple is in it, it's gotta be classic. I was wrong with that, it was only mediocre, and didn't even buy Wu Syndicate after listening to the album. Don't get me wrong, there are good Wu affiliated stuff out there, like Shabazz's solo ish, and Gravediggaz, and the second Killarmy, but there was so much garbage from 98 and on from the Wu family, I lost a lot of faith. I bought it because I heard smokin so I was hopefull. Boy, did my gamble pay off. The only song that doesn't do it for me was Party People, that beat is just one of those annoying beats that sounds like it should have been on Coolio's second album. Other than that, the beats were rugged, some actually sounded as if it came from Wu Tang's 36 Chambers. The lyrics are good, not great, hence the 4 stars. But hey, they even said they may not be the best lyrically (not quoted exactly) but at least they come correct and don't talk about being hustlas and shooting music videos with a bunch of prostitutes in the background. They talk about real life and do a good job with their battle raps. Get this. One of the stronger Wu joints post 98 era. Also get Inspectah, Shabaaz, and Genius. their the only good ones left.

If you're not sure whether you should buy this album, find some way to get a hold of the song "Chamber Danger", burn it to CD, pop it in your car stereo, crank it up LOUD, and cruise the streets at night. Then lay down however much money it takes to get the whole album. The album is worth it for that song alone, but they rip it old school on half the tracks - see "First things first", "Hip-hop", "Underground Emporer", and the title track "Don't Go Against the Grain". I don't know who the producer is, but try to imagine what would happen if the RZA co-produced a bunch of tracks with Havoc of Mobb Deep. Off the hook? To say the least. The actual rappers are best described as competent; not the best thing ever to happen to the mic, but they all have a couple of rhymes up their sleeves and most importantly they're plenty gritty enough to deserve the epic production. Just buy it.
