“Latin alternative was already scrambling the definitions of musical categories, and Hip Hop Hoodios throw in humor and ethnicity for added confusion.”
-NEW YORK TIMES

“Hip Hop Hoodios marry klezmer with cumbia, hard-core hip-hop with Santanaesque grooves. Somehow it all works, thanks to cameos from members of Santana and the participation of alterlatino acts such as Jaguares, La Barranca, and Orixa & Los Mocosos.”
-WASHINGTON POST

“Cameos from members of Jaguares, Santana, and The Klezmatics help make the socially conscious anti-corporate playa-hating of Hip Hop Hoodios funnier than any Beastie Boys punchlines recently.”
-VILLAGE VOICE

“The lyrics are provocative, clever and funny...Hip Hop Hoodios are indeed onto something funky, fresh and fun.”
-ASSOCIATED PRESS

“Hip Hop Hoodios are the hottest white rappers since the Beastie Boys.”
-BUFFALO NEWS

“This Latino-Jewish rap duo's stew of klezmer, pop-hop and rock en español is meatier than its gimmicky aroma would suggest...The cut 'Agua Pa' La Gente' combines lithe Latin dance and the sharp hooks of radio rock with elastic Spanish rhymes and Dr. Dre-baiting jokes. Finally, a rap group whose only beef is with pork.”
