5 out of 5 stars real underground Hip Hop.......2006-09-28

One th ebest uderground hh album !! not bling bling as usual !! only good musics !!!

5 out of 5 stars The Black Album.......2006-09-26

One of my favorite records in my collection. Not the most lyrical however the beats alone are enough to get the job done. I've beatjuggled the single Jump On It/Sky's the Limit for like 2 years now. It never gets old to chop this up and play with the ill drum patterns. Hedz go out and cop this when you can. A+ material from one of hip hops finest producers!!!

4 out of 5 stars OH MAN, these beats are insane!.......2006-07-28

NO I.D, the man responsible for the incredible production on Common's classics, "Resurrection" ('94) & "One Day..." ('97) - forges his own path on the criminally slept-on "Accept Your Own & Be Yourself."

First of all THESE BEATS ARE PRIME-CUT, AAA serloin type s**t. NO I.D, definitely kept some of his best material for himself, you couldn't ask for more.

The problem within this album lies in the MC's, NO I.D & his unknown buddy Dug Infinite (who appears on every track).
The first time the world heard NO I.D rhyme was on "Resurrection" on the classic track "In My Own World (Check the Method)." Verdict, he was pretty bland but along side Common he came off dope. That's the problem with this album, Common only appears on the track "State to State," leaving NO I.D to fill the void left by Com with the boring but bearable Dug Infinite. He gets the job done, but NO I.D really should have found a pro.
So what we have here is two medicore (at best) MC's trading rhymes over AMAZING BEATS. To be fair, they try their best - you can hear it in their rhymes, alot of the tracks have socially conscious (a la Common) themes and there's alot smart s**t being said by these two. They have brains and heart, just not much talent.

Bottom Line: Overall, this is a really good album. The beats are really dope and the MC's get the job done. I recommend it and I'm glad I bought it. 4 stars, Peace.

5 out of 5 stars No ID & Dug Infinite.......2005-06-10

4 out of 5 stars Most slept on producer/mc album period!.......2003-08-25

NO I.D. til this day remains one hip hop's most clever as well as underated producers. He initially gained recognition with his monumental work setting the foundation for a majority of the the production backdrops for Common's first 3 albums. So in 97 NO I.D. along with partner in crime Dug Infinite teamed up and delivered "Accept Your Own & Be Yourself". This album should satisfy even the most critical of hip hop heads. True indeed NO I.D.'s rhymes and punchlines will not make you go and slap your moms, but his rhymes have plenty of strong messages and tons of substance. But you should cop this album for the beats more so than anything. This album should have gained a tad bit more publicity but the now defunct label Relativity wasn't too keen on marketing most of their acts throughout most of the 90's. Standout Tracks include "State to State" w/ Common Sense, "Sky's The Limit", "The Real Weight", and "Fate or Destiny". Amazingly a lot of hip hop purists out there don't even know who NO I.D. is. Don't sleep like so many others did.
