Comments about Witchdoctor: Diary of an American Witchdoctor CD Set of 4:
I have only bought this album once, but it was a decent purchase. It's too bad that the Shop wants to sell this album so cheap, but them's the breaks. What amounts to a pretty good album also shows an interesting departure for Williams Street Records. Hopefully, Cheeseburger will pay off much better.

I ordered the complete set and turns out the werehouse is out of the complete set so I ended up receiving 4 copies of Disc number one and got charged for all four. [...] The first disc is still, in my opinion,meh! The lyrics are dated by my standrads,almost gratutitous and a parody,pushing Gangster rap back a years. I was expecting something way more clever and original from Adult Swim.

This is such a good album... you should buy it and give the other 3 copies as gifts to girls, they will love you...

I love this CD. I wish he got more promotion, he has talent. I just wish there was more from him out there. The disc is only [$], and well worth it.

I'm not sure how this gem can be so overlooked that the lads of Williams Street are offering 4 for the price of 1, but that just proves that people are facking idiots and would rather drink from the mainstream toilet than look six inches to their left to find something amazing.Even if you're not into the whole Dungeon-Family / Dirrty South / Atlanta scene (or even if you have no idea what those words even mean), there's a good chance you'll still dig this album. It's atypical in so many ways that it's bound to appeal to you on some level, and I defy you to not fall under the sway of it's utter smoothness.You may also find yourself fascinated by the way in which God is depicted as a supernatural hero capable of bestowing magical gifts upon his followers, or by how Witchdoctor manages to make frequent use of the word "hoes" sound astonishingly romantic.At a time when his contemporaries were riding the crunk-wagon to their 15 seconds of fame, Witchdoctor was busy brewing up something timeless.
