Amil

April 22, 1995

A brief but moving follow-up.

August 20, 2000

Serves up 52 minutes of consistent fun, with a few flashes of depth along the way.

August 25, 2000

A more literally cyncical hip hop album you'll be hard-pushed to encounter.

August 31, 2000

The music offers a surprisingly consistent background of bass bump, and Amil's flow doesn't falter at all.

September 17, 2000

Shows she is comfortable on her own two feet.

September 18, 2000

Ultimately all about the Benjamins, a tiresome topic. But Amil stands up for herself plenty, and it’s hard not to be amused by a hip hop album that name checks Aesop AND Blake Carrington.

September 22, 2000

With the exception of the immature "Girlfriend," rap's newest honey hits the mark.

September 23, 2000

Seems to have studied her craft well, as evidenced on this tight 13-track set.

October 1, 2000

She makes her solo steady-pumping debut with an abundance of rhyme-spitting skills that move her straight to the front of the female rap pack.

October 6, 2000

Amil successfully steps out of the sidekick role, but clearly Jay-Z remains a necessary driving force behind her music.
