Busta Rhymes – The Coming

Busta Rhymes - The Coming1. The Coming(Intro)

Intro.

2. Do My Thing

DJ Scratch produces the beat and it’s good(Not great though), it has a bouncy feel to it. Busta is in his glory here as he just goes crazy on the track. pretty good stuff. Good

3. Everything Remains Raw

Easy Mo Bee produces the beat and it has a dark feel to it, really good sounding. Busta raps a lot better here than he does on his later albums, he’s motivated and has a cunning flow. Busta is overlooked as a lyricist, sure he now is just a walking and talking cartoon character, but damn the guy could rap. Good track. Good

4. Abandon Ship(Feat Rampage)

Busta produces the beat and it’s upbeat, this track is way too happy for me, it just doesn’t fit the mood of the album. Rampage is a rapper that is pretty terrible but has his moments. Busta outshines Rampage here. Ok track. Average

5. Woo Hah!!!! Got You All In Check(Feat Rampage)

DOPE!!!! This is a classic track, just a crazy track that features Busta shining. This was the track that made Busta a star. I’m sure you’ve all have heard this. DOPE!

6. It’s A Party(Feat Zhane)

Easy Mo bee produces a great party type beat. I like this track a lot, probably the best party type track I have ever heard. Busta owns it on the rap tip and Zhane rule it on the singing tip. You need to hear this track. DOPE!

7. Hot Fudge

I dig this track, it has an eerie vibe to it. Busta does a good job bringing the craziness to the track. Great track. DOPE!

8. Ill Vibe(Feat Q-Tip)

Busta tries to tell a story here and it comes off as awkward, I don’t know about you but I don’t want to hear about Busta getting constipated. Good beat by Ummah but man Busta annoys me here. Average at best. Average

9. Flipmode Squad Meets Def Squad(Feat Jamal, Redman, Keith Murray, Rampage, & Lord Have Mercy)

DOPE DOPE DOPE!!!!!! One of the best posse cuts ever, this tells a story and is not just a cluster*****. Jamal has the first verse and does a good job but his verse is way too long and you can tell he was running out of lyrics by the end of it. Redman outshines him and has the best verse in the song, man Redman has a dope sinister laugh here. Keith Murray has a good little verse. Rampage has a good verse, nothing great but it gets the job done. Lord Have Mercy owns it here as he has the second best verse on the track, man his flow is great here. Busta has the last verse and it’s ok, a little on the weak side. Great track all in all. Nice dark beat and it matched the verses. DOPE!

10. Still Shining

Jay Dee produces a really good beat, really relaxing but has a hint of bounce to it. Busta does a great job here as he just rides the beat like a Cadillac. I like how the beat switches up during Busta’s second verse. Really good track. DOPE!

11. Keep it Movin'(Feat Leaders of The New School)

Nice track here with Busta’s old group reuniting for one track. I like the beat(Produced by The Ummah) and everyone comes tight. Cool track. Good

12. The Finish Line

I don’t like the singing here, it just sounds really corny and out of place, but other than that the track is really good. Good

13. The End Of The World(Outro)

Outro.

 

All in all this gets a Good rating. I like this album a lot and I think it’s Busta’s greatest. A great all around vibe. Cop this!

Onyx – All we got iz us

Onyx - All we got iz usWhen i got this i already had Bacdafucup and that was brillaint. Onyx coming fromNY spit true street poetry. Their style is very paranoid,eerie and dark and grimy.

Life or death skit

typicial onyx wailing in the background. Very eerie and enchanting. The skit is about someone commiting suicide dont know if its a bloke and his mind or two blokes. Typical onyx skit which introduces the next song.

Last Dayz 

This is so *****ing dope you wouldnt believe it. This is one of the best beats in the world IMO. I can’t believe this is produced by normaly rapper Fredro Starr. Eerie dark beat which onyx normally do the best. A simple drum loop,some brass instrument outburst,strings (i think) with some soul sampling repeated to give it that eerie feel.The lyrics are of a dark matter, Suicide. Very consterverisal song. Everyone is on top of their game. Easily a 5

All we got iz us

Again very very good. The drums are quite rapid and uptempo and strings giving this a enegetic yet very eerie feel. Street poetry at its best. Fredro shines by his energetic flo. They flow well. Sticky is good aswell

Purse snatchaz

Alright when you look at the title you can tell what is the topic. This is dope. Again a simple drum loop with strings with samples of some singing giving this a very eerie feel. Their flows are crazy! They give a view about street life and what they do to get by delivering a very brutal and dark story.

Shout 

This is great. To begin with the beat with very light piano keys seems very calm especially for Onyx. Then the drums hit the beats and onyx start spitting and make it one of their typical shouting violence songs. Very catchy lyrics and very good lyrics.

I Murder U (skit)

One of those onyx skits where a sample of them is played over and over a beat.

Betta off dead

This is good. To begin the eerie onyx wailing is played over and over while some shouting. Very simple drum beat and nice simple bass thumps and some weird sound effect like a g-funk sytheniser and the onyx wailing. The lyrics are shouted right at you, Onyx are prob the one of the only ones which can do this and not sound repeative and annoying. Really the lyrics are about how they are living, they are better of dead.

Live Niggaz

This is like betta off dead where they have them shouting. Its a hard beat to describe but its very good for quite a simple beat. The hook is very catchy.

Punkmother*****az

To begin with we have onyx describing the different between a ‘real’ nigga and a fake ass nigga then a quick rappin bit is done. I surpose its surpose to be a skit.

Mos Def

This is great. With some keys twinkling in the background and is very good to create a calm atmospere and like the last two IMO very hard to explain but Great! Very catchy hook. The lyrics are the battle type/life lyrics onyx do good.

Act Up (Skit)

Like i murder u except take away the words i murder u and replace them with act up.

Getto Mentalitees

As the name says its all about thier Ghetto Mentalitys. How ruthless they are is easily shown with their battle type lyrics. Sticky tho goes on about how mistreated his family been and i like it more than the rest it is one of the best verses on this album IMO. The beat is a simple drum and some sort of instrument and at the end of a few bars a organ is struck. Like the last few very hard to describe.

2 wrongs

This is dope. To begin with some scatching of Mr. fingaz is played sayin “2 wrongs dont make us right but it sure makes us standard” which brang a smile to the face. Fredro deleiver a very political view about the justice system with lines like “It’s killin me, callin these factilities,correction” and is prob the best verse on the song maybe on the album fighting against stickys on the last. Again the scrathing is played. Then sonsee raps and again very policitial but seems sloppy seconds compared to fredro. Then sticky drops a verse and is verydope. Its like his ruthless yet knowing what he is doing is trying get even. The production is upto the dopeness standards. Very dope song

Maintain (skit)

SKIT

Walk in New York

This is great. Like you can guess by the name the onyx paint a picture of their grimey streets of new yorks. The hook(s) is catchy and very simple. The beat has a hard hitting bass,simple drums and skipping of the record catches even more attention. Also what is a xlophone (these speakers are shit im finding it hard to explain especially hearing bass)Great way to end this practially Perfect Album.

Overall this album gets a 5

Overall this album has the mentality of the dark and grimey street like new york sound i like the best. this album has very dope lyrics and production is perfect. All songs are above 4 (meaning they get a 4.5 or 5)They spit street poetry which is believable. Their voices add to the paranoid status they are in. Onyx are one of the only poeples who can pull of shouting.

Recommendation :- BUY THIS DAMM ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Already got it? Then buy Bacdafucup (4/5). Got that? Buy shut em down(4/5). Got that? Then if you got money and a fan buy Bacdafucup part 2(3/5). There is one more *cough*Triggernometry*cough* but even tho the idea/concept was clver and lyrics might have been upto standards, the beats are very lame and just bearable at the best of times.

Jayo Felony – Underground

Jayo Felony - Underground1. Cop Killer 

Just an intro.

2. Whatcha Provin 

DOPE!!!! The beat is really eerie but it has that Westcoast feel to it. Jayo flows really well on this track, his flow is smooth here. Man Jayo is really overlooked, he can rap over any beat. Good chorus as Jayo sort of raps and sings about gang banging. Great track. DOPE!

3. Du Lo Gang 

Interesting beat, sounds like dogs barking, really bouncy beat and very hard hitting. Jayo flows really good on this track, this is about the Du Lo Gang(Of course) and how they live. Another great track. Good

4. All Day & All Night 

The beat is bouncy and funkish, I like the 2 elements mixed here. The beginning is a little annoying. Jayo does a good job rapping here. He raps about partying, smoking, drinking, you know the usual. Chorus is the same as the beginning of the track and it’s still annoying. Good track minus the chorus. Good

5. You & Me 

Just a skit.

6. Mandingo 

Great beat here, has an eerie feel to it. This is Jayo’s song for the ladies. I like the beat a lot, it goes from eerie to bouncy, this track is perfect for cruising in your ride, make sure you bump it loud so old people can hear it. Chorus is ok as some girl sings, I like the beat changing up when the chorus kicks in. Jayo does a great job. Great track. DOPE!

7. True Stories 

Great track, the beat has a funkish feel to it, also has an epic feel to it, I can’t really explain it. Jayo raps calm here, really good flow. Pretty good track, I dig the chorus, it’s simple but it works. Good

8. My Name In Your Mouth 

Very eerie beat here, has a Westcoast feel, like a Hollis beat but much more dark. Everyone comes tight on this track. Good

9. Flow 4 Ya 

DOPE!!!! I love the beat here, it’s dark and very bouncy, I like the 2 styles mixed together. Jayo rips this track to pieces. One of my favorite tracks on the album, you need to hear this track! DOPE!

10. That’s On Me 

My favorite track on the album. The beat is really good, nice electric guitar type synth mixed in there with organs. Jayo does a great job here, as he raps with vicious tenacity. You need to hear this track, just a great way to end the album. DOPE!

 

All in all I’m going to give this a DOPE! rating. This is one of my favorite Westcoast albums, although it felt more like an EP. You have to hear this album, it will blow your mind.

Kool G Rap – 4,5,6

Kool G Rap - 4,5,61. Intro

Just an intro.

2. 4,5,6

Really dark beat by Dr. Butcher, uses samples from “NY State Of Mind” and “Mysterious Traveler” so you know this is going to be a great track. G Rap proves why he’s one of the best as he flows through the track like a hungry Tiger looking for prey. Great chorus here, it’s simple but it works. Great track. Good

3. It’s A Shame

Slower pace on this track, nice beat by Naughty Shorts, has a funkish feel to it. G Rap rips the track as usual and Sean Brown sings the chorus. Great track. Good

4. Take ‘Em To War(Feat Grimm & B-1)

MF GRIMM!!!! is featured on this track and he starts it off with a vicious verse, man Grimm is great. Great beat by T-Ray, pretty dark feel to it. B-1 has the next verse and it’s really good, he manages to outshine Grimm. G Rap has the last verse and he outshines both of them. You need to hear this track. DOPE!

5. Executioner Style

DOPE!!!! Dr. Butcher produces a very dark/eerie beat, has a grimey NY feel to it. G Rap just kills this track, he uses so many multi’s and has great wordplay on this track, just insane! Chorus is very dark and really good. You also need to hear this track. DOPE!

6. For Da Brothaz

T-Ray produces the beat and it’s really good, it’s mellow and has some nice horns added to it. G Rap raps about the streets. G Rap is really an overlooked story teller, another underrated story teller is Masta Ace but that’s another subject. Great chorus as the horns get involved. Dope track. DOPE!

7. Blowin’ Up In The World

Buckwild produces the beat and he uses the “What You Won’t Do For Love” beat, very dope and G Rap sounds great over it. The chorus is simple but it works oh so well. One of my favorite G Rap tracks. DOPE!

8. Fast Life(Feat Nas)

I do not like this track, the beat is not good(Produced by Buckwild), it just has no kick to it and for a Nas & G Rap collabo, it’s really disappointing. G Rap does a good job and so does Nas but man the beat is terrible. Wack

9. Ghetto Knows

Naughty Shorts produces a pretty good beat, has a dark piano feel to it, also has a grimey NY feel to it. G Rap of course rips it. I like how the beat changes during the chorus. Good

10. It’s A Shame(Da Butcher’s Mix)

Same lyrics but with a better beat, nice and bouncy. DOPE!

11. Money On The Brain(Feat B-1 & Grimm)

B-1 & Grimm join G Rap again, nice beat by Dr. Butcher, it has a more fun type sound to it, it’s not dark at all. B-1 starts it off with a good verse. Grimm does the chorus, a little awkward but still good. Grimm with the second verse, man it’s a shame how much Grimm is slept on, in his prime I’d say he was better than Nas. G Rap with the last verse and of course he rips it. Great track. DOPE!

 

All in all this gets a Good rating. Very good album by Kool G Rap, this was a very dark album, very hard hitting. G Rap is a legend and this album should be heard….COP IT!

Master P – Da Last Don

Master P - Da Last DonSay what you want about No Limit now, but nobody can deny that they’re music was top of tha game in 98. This is my favorite album(s) of all time, which doesn’t make my review biased, but is underated and often called the peak of P’s 2Pac biting rhymes. When in fact, this was the peak of No Limit, going 4x platinum in 1998, and for a good reason.

 

Disc 1:

1) Da Last Don: 

Perfect way to open up the CD. It was No Limit’s most anticipated release, and Master P’s marketing ploy of his ‘retirement’ to sell more records paid off. Playing a don ( in a cheesy Italian accent ), P states why he’s the last Don, and pays his respects to 2Pac, Biggie, and of course his brother, Kevin Miller; over a hard ass beat.

2) Til we Dead and Gone feat. Bone Thugs and Harmony: 

Not the best song; didn’t really live up to what I thought it would be. Average verse from P, and Bone rips it as usual. Just an average song.

3) Thinkin Bout U feat. Mia X, Mo B. Dick: 

Released as a single, this song talks about alot of different gangsta subjects. The beat is sick, with a bumpin piano beat, but the singing and chorus is what drags it down.

4) Soldiers, Riders, and G’s feat. Snoop Dogg, Silkk the Shocker, Mystikal:

This is possibly the best song on the first disc, everybody comes hard on it. The beat, the verses, everything’s on point and the whole song delivers. A No Limit classic.

5) The Ghetto’s got me Trapped feat. Silkk the Shocker: 

Not a bad song, talking about how P and Silkk will always be trapped in the ghetto, but they’re not ready to die. The beat is another mafiaso type beat, with a heavy bass guitar. Average song.

6) Get Your Paper feat. E-40: 

A lot of people don’t like this song, but it’s got a Bay Area beat, and it’s how a featured song should be. Two seperate verses from P and 40, and then them going back and forth on the third verse. Definatley a good song worth listening to.

7) Ride: 

One of the only P solo efforts on the album(s), but this a good song. It’s a more laid back track, with piano rifts in the background. As always, P let’s off his signature Uggghhh!!!, but it fits in perfect for this joint talking about the struggles in the ghetto.

8) Thug Girl feat. Snoop Dogg, Silkk the Shocker:

I don’t like this song, to me it’s a mess. Snoop’s verse isn’t good and P’s verse isn’t good. Silkk ruins it. The only thing good about this track is that it’s short.

9) These Streets Keep Me Rollin feat. Fiend:

In this track, P obviously tries to emulate a lil of Pac’s style, but it flows smooth over this laid back beat. Fiend has a tight verse with his raw voice, which seems a lil out of place, but it’s still a good song over a BBTP produced beat.

10) Black and White: 

Song about P being a black man in a white world, and how things will never change. Romeo has a cameo in the beginning, but this track is just average.

11) War Wounds feat. Fiend, Mystikal, Snoop Dogg, Silkk the Shocker:

Somewhat of a Soulja song, this song goes hard. The beat, the chorus, everybody’s verse, and the ending. Nothing short of a classic from BBTP. Definatley recommended for listening and constant playback.

12) Dear Mr. President feat. Mac: 

P got a lot of critics and haters with this song. Obviously, 2Pac had a song about his letter to the president, which it would seem P ripped off. And to some extent he did, but it’s not a bad song, and has a good feature from Mac.

13) Mama Raised Me feat. Soulja Slim, Snoop Dogg:

Tight song, and the title lives up to it’s name. It’s not the content or the meaning of the song that make’s you want to listen, but the way it flows. The smoothest of No Limit ( Soulja Slim and Snoop Dogg ) spit game about how they mama raised them. One of my favorite tracks on the double album.

14) Let My 9 Get Em: 

Another rare P solo song, in which he raps Ghetto D style about layin it down for any ***** that don’t like him and what he stands for.

Disc 2:

1) More 2 Life feat. C-Murder:

C-Murder makes a track good. Bottom line. And that’s not saying that his albums are perfect, but his features never dissapoint. More 2 Life is talking about how everything shouldn’t revolve around *****es, weed, and a mercedes. Tight song, kind of slow, but it’s catchy and makes you want to listen; and that’s all that should matter to a person buying the CD.

2) Ghetto Life feat. UGK: 

Tight track with another UGK appearance ( they appeared on a number of No Limit albums prior to this ), and this song actually has some meaning. That’s saying a lot about a Master P song, but it’s definatley one of the best songs from both discs.

3) Gangsta ***** feat. Steady Mobb’n, Mo B. Dick: 

Westcoast feeling song ( to a certain extent ) about how no ***** compares to a gangsta *****. Average song, but not really that great. Definatley a filler track.

4) So Many Souls Deceased feat. Ghetto Commission:

Ghetto Commission comes hard on this track, and P’s verse is too short. The beat is just average, with P talking Italian at the beginning again. Recommended if you like the Commission.

5) Rock-A-Bye-Haters: 

A skit of P changing a popular nursery rhyme, like he did on his later albums, and switching it up. Really drags the disc down, and is a complete waste of time. Skip it.

6) Snitches feat. Snoop Dogg:

A sample of G’z and Hustlaz from Doggystyle, which isn’t a bad concept, but fails to deliver. Snoop’s verse is too long, and he can’t live up to the original ( which shouldn’t be expected ), but is still an average track.

7) Family Business: 

Another mafia type skit, with P talking in his accent and ‘taking care of a snitch’. Waste of space, and obvious filler for the 2nd disc. Skip it.

8) Let’s Get Em feat. Magic, C-Murder: 

Magic, who also tried to sound like 2Pac through much of 98, comes hard. C-Murder comes hard. P comes hard. Bottom line, this is one of the best tracks on the album.

9) Goodbye To My Homies feat. Sons of Funk, Silkk the Shocker: 

Trying to capitilize on the success of ‘I miss my Homies’ P offers a sequel to the 97 joint, with the exact same theme of the first. He’s still talking about Kevin, nothing’s really changed. However if you like the Sons of Funk, peep this track.

10) Welcome To My City feat. Mac, O’Dell:

A lot of people find this their favorite track of the album, and it’s not completely surprising to see why. The beat is smooth, and all the flows are with P continuing to yell Ugghhh!!! on about every song.

11) Ghetto Love feat. Mia X, Mo B. Dick: 

Not a bad song if you want ya girl in the mood, but when I buy a Master P album, that’s not what I’m looking for. I don’t blame him for making this type of track, at this point he didn’t really have one, but it’s not really my style. I skipped it.

12) Make Em Say Ugghhh!!! Part II feat. Fiend, Mia X, Silkk the Shocker, Snoop Dogg:

It’s been said before, I’ll say it again. This song was really anticipated, and for the first 3 minutes, it was as good if not better than the original; until…..Snoop Dogg comes on. This song is DRAGGED DOWN by his slow style. He is capable of rhyming fast and hard ( listen to any track on Doggstyle ), but the Doggfather got lazy, and this song needs Mystikal bad.

13) Hot Boys and Girls feat. Kane & Abel, Silkk the Shocker, Mia X, Mystikal: 

Above average song about the wierdest shit you will ever hear. The song’s title has nothing to do with the theme ( which isn’t bad ), but you won’t get what you expect. Everybody on this joint describes themselves as something that you’d do everyday. Ex: Master P ” I’m the fire down in Hell, I’m the gas you pump at shell “. Out of the ordinary, but it definatley puts a twist on the song, and makes you want to listen to it even more.

14) Reverse the Game: 

Pointless skit leading up to the end of the album. Skip it.

15) Eternity feat. C-Murder, Mr. Serv-On:

Easily my favorite No Limit track ever, everything about the song is great. There is no flaws to this song, and the beat, the verses, and the chorus especially you can play just about anytime. The perfect way to end ANY album, as Master P closes off saying this is the last time you will hear a bad guy like him; and at that point in 1998, actually made you believe him. One of the best songs ever.

 

In conclusion, I give this album nothing less than a 5. 5/5. It’s full of tracks that you can play just about any time, and was probably Master P’s last GREAT album. It lives up to the hype in my opinion, and if you don’t own it already, I suggest you go out and buy it if your a No Limit/Master P/Gangsta Musik fan.

Master P – Only God Can Judge Me

Master P - Only God Can Judge MeOnly God Can Judge Me was made post Beats by the Pound era, and after No Limit’s success really wore off. After going 4x platinum with the Da Last Don, Master P came out of ‘retirement’ to release Only God Can Judge Me. The twist on this cd is that by this time ( late 99 ) most of the soldiers had left the tank, including BBTP, which gave it a new style. Along with the new production, came a new style from P. It’s an experiment, and not everybody liked it. With that being said, here’s the review for OGCJM.

 

1) Only God Can Judge Me

P talking over a Daniel Kartell laced guitar solo, about why he’s a soulja and how he’ll always be TRU 2 Da Game. Not really recomended.

2) Ghetto Prayer feat. Magic

This is a song that was really critiqued when it first came out as a shallow, meaningless wannabe 2Pac song. I wouldn’t say it’s that bad, but it does get a lil repetitive. Not the worst, not the best.

3) Step To Dis feat. D.I.G.

One of the best songs on the album, also released as a single. D.I.G. has a flawless flow, and Master P comes correct. What more to say?

4) Return of Da Don feat. Silkk the Shocker

Unfortunatley, this song doesn’t live up to it’s name. Silkk’s accent is complete garbage, and the beat is mafiaso, but without BBTP, it sounds terrible. Nothing stands out.

5) Say Brah feat. Mac

This is a club bangin track with Mac. It’s almost like whenever Mac is on a song, it can’t be bad. This is a good song, with an uptempo beat also featured on 504 Boyz’s ‘Goodfellas’.

6) Boonapalist feat. D.I.G., Ms. Peaches

This is a slow song that has no relation to anything good at all. D.I.G. has a tight verse, and that’s about it. Nothing special about this track at all.

7) Where Do We Go feat. Mac, Nas

This is probably one of the best songs on the entire album. Master P definatley has his best verse I’ve heard in a long time. It’s about staying positive even when life getz tough. Tight verses from all three artists.

8) Ice on My Wrist

Cash Money’s success obviously influenced this song, because P never used to rap about cars, jewels, etc. Not really worth listening to unless you like songs about diamonds, and Cash Money does it better anyway.

9) Stop Playing Wit Me

One of the highlights of the album. It’s a rowdy joint that stays on point through the whole song detailing P’s come up in the game. Worth a listen.

10) Ghetto in the Sky

Much like Ghetto Prayer, this song is criticized for being a cheap version of songs from the likes of 2Pac, Biggie, etc. I don’t really look that deep into it, but it’s worth a listen if you like slowed down jamz.

11) Ain’t Nothing Changed feat. D.I.G.

Another one of the best songs on the album, as whenever D.I.G. touches the mic, the song is gold. Everything about the song is good; the production, the chorus, and the verses from P and D.I.G.

12) Commercial feat. Young Guns

A ‘commercial’ which is on here for whatever reason, is not that bad. The Guns lace the track with a smooth flow over a tough beat.

13) Oh Na Nae

I’m not sure why this song is on here. It’s another watered down Cash Money type song. P’s change from ‘Da Last Don’ is most obvious here, as he continues to rap about Benz’s, 20’s, and basically Big Tymer type raps.

14) Ghetto Honeys feat. Mac

The beat is hard, couldn’t be any better. The title of the song could’ve been better though, because just looking at it, made me want to skip it. Overall, a good song with Mac and P layin it down.

15) Y’all Don’t Want None feat. Mystikal

Despite saying that he’d never beef on wax, Master P takes shots at UNLV and Pastor Troy on this song. Over basically the same beat that UNLV used to diss Mystikal, P and Mystikal use it to diss them subliminally. A good song though, one of the best.

16) Life Ain’t Easy feat. C-Murder: 

Finally a track featuring C-Murder, and although it’s less than two minutes, it probably couldn’t be any better. Definatley one of the best songs on the album, and bout it bout it.

17) Who Down To Ride feat. D.I.G.

As you can see, D.I.G. is obviously all over this album. Promotion paid off, because he once again steals the song from P, and lays down the chorus on point. Too bad ‘AfterLife’ never dropped.

18) Y’all Don’t Know feat. Ghetto Commission

P goes back to his ‘Last Don’ style to talk about his 2Pac-influenced-penetentiary-chances theme. It’s good to hear Ghetto Commission again ( because they were always good ). Overall, not a bad song, not the best, but not bad.

19) Nobody Move feat. Magic, Silkk the Shocker

Bottom line, this track is a hard track that gets you hyped. Silkk does not do good on these type of tracks, and basically ruins the end of the song. However, if you want a tight two minute track, peep the first two verses from Magic and P, and you won’t be dissapointed.

20) Da Ballers feat. Jermaine Dupri

P and JD go back and forth talking about their lifestyles and where they’re from. Not a bad track, but don’t expect much. JD produced it.

21) Crazy Bout Ya feat. Mercedes, Ms. Peaches

Slow song ( which P doesn’t do good with ) about being crazy bout ya girl. It’s not recomended. Skip It.

22) Intro to Get Yo Mind Right

P talking in the background, and introducing the following song.

23) Get Yo Mind Right feat. C-Murder

Tight song w/ a catchy hook. Not a bad way to close out the album, but definatley could’ve been better.

 

Overall, after hearing this experiment I wouldn’t say this a bad Master P album. Due to his limited rapping skills, it’s probably one of his better solo efforts. There are worse ( Ghetto Postage, Gameface ) and there are better ( Da Last Don, Ghetto D, Ice Cream Man ), but if you are a No Limit fan or just a P fan in general, it wouldn’t hurt picking this up, because it’s not as bad as everyone says.
