Production

A Future Without a Past... is a loose concept album about high school, divided into three parts.[8]

Critical reception

Stanton Swihart of AllMusic praised the work, calling the group's debut "one of the most infectious rap albums ever created."[1] Trouser Press called the album "highly amiable," writing that the group's "subtle Afrocentric politics came coated in tasty upbeat rhymes."[8] Complex wrote that the album revives "the barbershop quartet-style group dynamics of early hip-hop crews like the Treacherous 3 and the Cold Crush Brothers."[9] Fact called it "a jolly throwback affair ... enlivened by Busta’s freewheeling presence and some smart production work."[10]
