The beats on this album are my kind of thing. Funky, bouncy, containing samples, and gangsta. There isn't a beat I don't enjoy throughout these twelve tracks. The first couple particularly have very familiar samples that I could understand being tired of these days - 'Do This' sounds very similar to what was used in The Doc's 'It's Funky Enough'. And then 'MC Rod is Dope' seems to use the sample from the well known Kris Kross' 'Jump'. There is some conscious stuff thrown in (mainly on 'Life's a Bitch'/'I Come Up Hard'), and you would have heard most of these topics before (which isn't rare for a gangsta rap album), but MC Rod is nice on the microphone and rides these beats well. Another bangin' underheard album, which I think probably improves in the second half of the disc. Best Tracks: 100% Legit, I Come Up Hard, H.N.I.C., Life's a Bitch
