"Opening track 'Anything' skips into action with a thinned out string
sample that provides a backdrop for the usual litany of MC platitudes and
declarations of proficiency. "I'm better than you in the bedroom/I'm
better than you on the mic" goes the taunt. While listeners of an
exceptionally generous, Ned Flanders-like nature might be willing to
entertain giving the vocalist the benefit of the doubt on his first
supposition, the latter boast rings eminently hollow. Perhaps instead of
repeatedly announcing the superiority of his MC skills we'd all be better
served by him actually demonstrating that at some juncture. More hot air
and aggro litters the remainder of the EP (with 'Bitch' just about raising
a smile for name-checking Wigan), and by the time you arrive at an
instrumental airing of 'Hijack' you'll be glad to hear the bassline in all
its Black & Decker glory, without the vocals causing clutter."
