The album has been described by Leo Stanley from Allmusic as "one of the key records of early-'80s hip-hop". Thomas Golianopoulos and Mosi Reeves from Rolling Stone stated: "The soundtrack, which features beats produced by Chris Stein of Blondie and Fab 5 Freddy and live performances by Double Trouble and other old-school legends, is arguably the first great hip-hop album".[3]

gollark: "Pop_OS!". It's so stupid a name.
gollark: It is generally desired that help-asking people will provide relevant information, like distro in this case, and also check the wikis or interwebs first.
