Rear End 1999 Album

Mercedes

While I have a lot to get around to listening to, I am still yet to hear to a great No Limit album. They were releasing so much music from 98-99 that perhaps that was part of the problem. This is one of the rare R&B and female albums from No Limit. It's decent with some highlights and consistency, but again, like most past No Limit records I've tried, the production never reaches any great heights, and the vocals don't match the best in the genre either. Mystical is one of the rare examples of a soldier who did have great vocals and who provides a noteworthy featuring verse on 'Hush'. There is a 'Bonnie & Clyde' themed song that we have heard so much in hip hop. There are way too many skits that would've been a pain in the backside back in the day. The skits include Mercedes talking a guy through giving her pleasure and her telling a "broke ho" to stop playing on her phone. 'Can Tell' would be listed below amongst the best tracks but the male vocalist is a very average singer in my opinion. The skits make this drag on and there are some poor songs, but there are enough decent songs. If you enjoy the No Limit sound, their rap roster (as there are lots of features) and R&B, you'll get something out of this. Best Tracks: Hit 'Em, Do You Wanna Ride, Pony Ride, Hush, Free Game, I Need a Thug, You're the Only One
