"With Tim Fite, you never know what you're going to get. And that's sort of the point. Fair Ain't Fair offers more humanistic, good-humored songs than previous recordings, and expansive numbers such as "More Clothes" and opener "Roots of a Tree" reveal a man who is letting his talents breathe." (86 out of 100)
-FILTER MAGAZINE
"On Fair Ain't Fair, Tim Fite drops all devices but his yokel drawl, the result captures him turning into an old-fashioned troubadour, one fueled by big issues (the apocalypse, greed, and forgiveness), and a country/hip-hop hybrid that's never sounded catchier."
-ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"So what's the dirty joke?"
-STEREOGUM
"A lo-fi lone wolf from Brooklyn, Tim Fite is somewhere between folk and hip-hop, and with his latest album — a harsh indictment of consumerism and the American dream of selling out — he has made himself into a cultural gadfly."
-THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Over The Counter Culture is one of the best albums of the new year. . .packed with crackling beats, wicked humor and 'did he just say that?' audacity. It's the best kind of protest album: one that has the ability to laugh at itself."
-CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"How's about a little avalanche for your avarice?"
-TIM FITE
"Fite has produced the kind of brazen, self-aware political critique that harkens back to early Public Enemy and has become a rarity in contemporary hip-hop."
-THE BOSTON GLOBE
"Other people may complain about the noise, but I kind of like it."
-JEROLD YOLSKLE
"Fite's imagination as a songwriter is substantial and staggering. Deep thoughts and huge punch lines are layered so thick that every new spin is a revelation."
-ESQUIRE MAGAZINE
"Sometimes when I eat chalk my mouth tastes like paste, and sometimes when I eat paste, my mouth tastes like chalk."
-ROSA EUSTICE DELAPANCHA
"Brooklynite Fite combines every genre known to man"
-VILLAGE VOICE
"Tim Fite is feeble minded, reckless, and never puts the cap on the goddamn ether."
-THE GENTLEMAN WITH ITCHY LEGS
hey you! it would be a great feat if you came to houston again. last time you performed here i believe was when you opened for les claypool and then i started listening to ya. now here's a squid and/or a jellyfish >D
I miss having "Away from the Snakes" on my profile, I had it there for quite some time. That's the first song of yours I heard and it still remains my favorite. I hope to see another one of your shows!
Hey. Sorry I missed your show last night. I was super tired from all the craziness that was the film fest. I hope that it went really well for you. See you soon! =D ♥ mandee
