“...Your writings are so profound. Your delivery speaks to the soul... ”

“...all of us wanted to elevate to your level..we saw you as the arch type of poet we all wanted to be like....”

“I absolutely love you for this. You are fire which either burns for purity's sake, burns for destruction's sake or heat's up the next person's ass to seek their own truth. You ARE abrasive in a way that does not always make for "simple" conversation between you and I (I can only speak on OUR relationship), but you are a loving person and your arms are always open for reconciliation and sharing. Your spirit of conviction is absolutely contagious and your voice is courageous. I appreciate you and value your presence in my life...let their be no question about this. One Love fa real!”

“From the first time I've met you many years ago I knew you stood for truth and righteousness!”

“What I just sat and listened to was felt to my core. I found it to be one of the best stabs at censorship that I have ever heard. Words that should be absorbed by all. And I, as one person, shall pass them along...”

“Woooooooooooo those horns on rise up!!!!!!! Awwwww man... This is about to be seismic!! ”

"Your words are like watching lightning strike."

“You have a master piece in censorship and rise up brings chills through souls! Wow what else can be said about such a brilliant Poet.”

“You, Dear Husband, are a "Tyrannical, Upstart Soldier of TRUTH"!!!”

"thank you for being unafraid & unapologetic"

“What can I say about Max Parthas and Tribal Raine? A lot. This duo is perhaps the most dangerous weapons in the world of spoken word artists...”

“Max is the hottest poet out there! From your biggest fan, Shyfox! Keep em' coming!”

"Being Blue collar took a while to recognize this art! Once you put an EAR and an EYE your passion will grow for Max as a person and his art and what he has done for Millions of FANS! Word on Max!" Thank you for being there for us! Sugar Bear Trio

“If you have never listened to spoken word before, this is the place to start.”

“The album cannot be categorized, it is what it is and what is it? Extraordinary! You gain something, literally, from listening to the words of both Tribal and Max.”

“This mind music was astounding. So I finally come to my MySpace window, thinking it was still on my dashboard. To my surprise, I was rockin' to your player and the hits just kept coming.”

“Freedom of speech baby! "Censorhip" Rocks!”

“The perfect cohesion of lyric and sound”

“This is one flawless collection. This goes beyond spoken word. Max & Tribal's energy is phenomenal, and the production is beautiful. Keep it comin'!!!”

“God must be willing because you have intelligence, wit, talent with words, a voice, and the fearlessness to face the injustices of the country as a whole. YEPYEP... I hear you, I see you, and I applaud you!”

“I promise you your actions will resound throughout the universe, your words echo to distance galaxies and God has heard your message. People have come to love and support you. Your actions are aligned with what you speak and you speak on things hidden in the fragile places in people's heart.”

"End Game" is truly a beginning, a new birth into an age of truth. I haven't stop listening to this CD since I got my fat fingers on it.

“Peace and Much Love! Yo, Maximus you definitely rocked 'em AGAIN, keep doin' ya thang! We gotta make sure Hiphop culture is preserved so we can past this REMARKABLE legacy to our youth! I'm lookin' forward to us workin' together in the NEAR FUTURE! YOU ARE HIP HOP, WORD!”

“End Game is by far the bar set for every poet that is truthful with themselves”

“...A clearly powerful and revolutionary piece of work brewed so sweet you take it in and not even know it...Genius!!!”
