This isn't too bad. Lil' Mac would've only been about 12 when he recorded this, and as he shows here and he would show on future albums, under the name Mac, he is a talented rapper. A lot of it is pop rap, but stuff like 'The Mind' and 'Lyrical Midget' are more reminiscent of the classic east coast late-'80s/early '90s beats. Lyrically it's weak though, with too many girl tracks being present catered towards a young audience, and I can't relate to someone of his age rapping about some of the things he spits about.
Some tracks of note. - 'I Need Wheels' - A 12 year old rapping about needing a car... To make it worse the emotive beat could make you cry, sampling 'I Need Love'. He must really needs wheels! "I'll drive anything, even a bus." 'Young and Embarrassed' - the beat sounds like a nursery rhyme. 'Lil' Mac Be Clubbin'' - Mac raps about being out clubbin' and drinking at 12 years old, and getting spanked by his mum. "She grabbed me, pulled my pants down".
Not something I'll look to play again quickly, but it isn't an unpleasant listen.
Best Tracks: The Mind, Lyrical Midget, Your Days Are Over, Lil' Mac Be Clubbin'
