My God, this is way too long. Not only did No Limit release albums like the world was ending in '98-'99, they didn't waste any space on the CDs either (as was the trend at the time) with this right on 80 minutes. Magic has some more distinction vocally than some others from the No Limit roster with a gravelly voice that works well with gangsta rap. Snoop is featured on a couple of tracks where he rhymes "magic" with "tragic" on both occasions. I usually mention Mystikal in these No Limit reviews and he is again on the best song, 'Did What I Had 2'. Usually the start/end of an album is the best, but I like the stretch of songs in the middle from 'I Never' to 'New Generation' that make up most of the best songs. For its 80 minute running time, the cohesion and evenness isn't bad, and there is some variety in the beats, but 'Did What I Had 2' aside, there is nothing I'll be saving for later.
