Universal 1997 Album

Deadly Force

"You motherf***ers thought Texas was country, but we got some motherf***ing funk for your funky ass bitc*" As the introduction hints us, this seems to be a southern group, but it does sound like a west coast album for the most part. It's a fairly normal and more than decent gangsta rap album, with some consciousness thrown in, until track 14 where it then becomes like a mini explicit Miami bass EP for 4 tracks, sounding influenced by 2 Live Crew. Just check out 'Pop Tha Boothy' that has lines such as, "So spread the word/I wanna make her feel like a turd/I'm all up in your intestines/which ho do I like/do you got any questions or suggestions/cause all I wanna know is can I pop that booty hole?" What's even more hilarious is that after all of that filth, they actually censor F*** on the highlight, 'Break Em Off Somethin', and have a clean version of 'Could You Please Save Me'... Amongst the songs, there are some vocal samples from the likes of Snoop and Cube and some nicely sung crooning hooks. I don't care for the Miami Bass sequence of songs from track 14-17 but most of the rest is enjoyable music.
