 Kanye West Presented By Consequence (***) Nov 03, 2005
Remember Beats Rhymes & Life? Regardless of what you thought of it (personally I was a fan) you'd have to remember that dude that seemed to be on every other track. His name was Consequence and he was the younger cousin of Q-Tip. This what seemed to be newly inducted member of the ATCQ family was nowhere to be seen on the final (brings a tear to my eye everytime) album of the Quest and I'd forgotten about him completely until I spotted this Mixtape. The biggest misconception given with this album is that it is here to showcase Consequence as he is never really given the room to let loose and shine without either a. Kanye stepping in and repping himself or b. a guest coming in and spitting some lines, however once you've moved past this fact you find your self in quite an enjoyable experience, the Cons style has changed a bit from his appearances on Beats, Rhymes & Life, it seams he's definately been hanging around his friend Kanye West and his Roc-A-Fella counterparts more than his cousins Native Tounges clique as his lyrics can be somewhat womanising and bling based at times, still he does it with charm and swagger that gets you feeling it. Guest wise their are some magic moments such as I See Now with Kanye & Little Brother also Incredible Hulk and So Soulful with John Legend step it up. Overall this is an album that much like a mixtape is missing coherence due primarly to the lack of any real chance for Consequence to set the record straight on his skills, still it's an album I've found myself going back to more than I expected and one that surprisingly my girl has been feeling too.

 Great Mixtape, Good Introduction to Cons. Oct 30, 2005
This cd is a typical mixtape. A lot of guests and a lot of different beats. However, most of the songs are album quality. Songs such as Wack N*gga, I See Now, Getting Out The Game, Doctor Doctor, Yard 2 Yard, So Soulful, and Take it as a Loss make this mixtape a must have. Kanye and Consequence do an amazing job throughout the whole cd and this is one of the most entertaining cds I have purchased in a long time. Watch out for Don't Quit Your Day Job, Consequence's solo debut, coming '06. Also get Late Registration.

Mediocre Oct 18, 2005
Could have been a lot better if he hadn't had utilized so many damn guest appearances. There's just not enough of consequence on this album. Other than that though he is still a cut above the rest. worth checking out

Nice Mix May 03, 2005
Overall, good. However, they could have sold me 10 repeat track remixes of So Soulful over and over and over. If you can listen to this and not nod your head, something wrong with your pacemaker!

Good job Kanye 4 hiring your latest rapper Feb 05, 2005
I can't say much 'bout this new rapper name Consequence. He has the talent and the skills to be a better MC. Thank God my man and favorite rapper (now my mentor) Kanye West has hire him to appear on his G.O.O.D. label. This is a not an album, it just a mixtape that show sides off his upcoming solo album. Can't to go get it. This CD is such a blend of pure ol' school w/ a lot of flava and good collabos from Talib, Common, and everybody who appears on this album. Consequence could be the next millenium of all real hip-hoppers. Not the bad hip-hoppers you see today are Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss, Ludacris, Juvenile, Lil Jon, T.I., etc. I would say this isn't that bad. I say it's all good music with a lotta spiritual feels to it. Recommend this along w/ Kanye's College Dropout, Little Brother's The Listening, Common's BE, Murs' Murs 3:16, Slum Village's Detroit Deli: A Taste of Detroit, Nas' The Street's Disciple, Mase's Welcome Back, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots' Tipping Point, and among others.
