3.5 Mics (out of 5) - "...Flexin' more imagination than John Lennon, Cru's debut, DIRTY 30, is likely to make you nod your noggin....Props due to Cru who were able to stare into the face of rap banality and come back alive with an accessible sound...", "The 30 tracks on Cru's DA DIRTY 30...often flow together like a bugged-out mix show....Yogi kicks rhymes with Q-Tip-style smoothness; the Mighty Ha growls and sings crazily a la Ol' Dirty Bastard; and Chadeeo fills in the rest with clever wordplay...", "...Cru bring their multi-faceted abilities to the table and the results...cluth the ears....CRU keeps their sound as unique as a fingerprint..."
