Black Mafia Life 1993 Album

Above the Law

Musically – technically – it's a moderate leap, with a great single: the high-energy "V.S.O.P", which should have been a major milestone. Then it wasn't. The rest of the record has its' moments but more often than not loses the listener through a backwater of its' own making. They peaked with the debut, that's for sure.

I gave this a few spins but there is nothing memorable here. The rappers and lyrics aren't distinctive at all, with that being noticeable due to the MC Ren verse probably being one of the few strengths this has, and to a lesser extent the Pac song. It's a decent listen with some good moments but there are many better '93 albums. 3-2.5 / 5 Best Tracks: Process of Elimination (Untouchakickamurdaqtion)
