criticism

The German hip-hop magazine Juice rated Too Hard to Swallow retrospectively as part of a report on the duo's career in 2011. The album was awarded four out of a possible six “crowns”. In the review written by Marc Leopoldseder, the album is referred to as a " groundbreaking foundation stone ", which is made clear by the fact that popular rappers like Yelawolf later quote from the song Pocket Full of Stones . The UGK characteristic sound can only be heard “ in a rather rudimentary stage. “In addition, the two hip-hop musicians worked with limited technology, which is reflected, for example, in the fact that in some pieces“ the soul loop does not sit so precisely on the drum pattern ”.
