Silkk, Master P's brother, has a reputation for being a joke of a rapper, but I don't hear anything that terrible. He fits right in with most of No Limit’s roster—mostly forgettable, just like the albums themselves. The common complaint about his offbeat flow (which Silkk claims was intentional) doesn’t really bother me. He doesn’t glide from one bar to the next like the best of them, but the bigger issues here are the average production and content, or lack thereof, rather than Silkk's delivery.
Some of the keyboard work sounds especially cheap and unpolished—just listen to 'No Limit Party' and the title track for proof. That said, 'No Limit Party' does have some enjoyable instrumentation switches. The transition from '1 Morning' to 'How We Mobb' even makes it feel like one long track. Meanwhile, 'Why My Homie' sounds like it had trouble ripping from a CD—there’s a weird whirling sound...
There are a few decent moments. 'Free Loaders' has a nice funkiness, and 'If My 9 Could Talk' carries a dark, menacing vibe. But overall, there isn’t much here that stands out. While the weaker moments maybe aren’t as bad as some of No Limit’s worst projects, there’s nothing worth revisiting either.
