As the title of the album that Guerilla Monsoon comes from, this Black Thought, Talib, Pharaoh & Kayne collab is pure Quality.

This single is easily one of the best songs out for the holiday season. The success contained within really comes down to accomplished, articulate emcees seizing the opportunity to kill a nasty groove that borders on whiplash mode of the head noddin' function. Black Thought is hitting on al cylinders as comes off as strong as ever with spits like "I hit these emcees with the grip of death like I was a Vulcan, ain't allot of emcees that are just straight talkin..." and "I'm in it to win it and not for the wealth, I got a crib with a Grammy and a gat on the shelf..." That said, the best line may come from Pharaoh Monch when he proclaims "spit it like white trash at seed spittin contest, with a vendetta to send a better letter bomb to congress..." Rounding out the trifecta is a simply yet catchy hook that corner boys to kindergarteners will fall in line with.

As I said previously, all roads to Guerilla Monsoon lead to Quality.
