Best known for their collaboration with R. Kelly on The Fiesta remix, Boo and Gotti only ever released this album as a pair. They hail from Chicago and shout-out the city on track 2 and 11, but this features a lot of southern rap influence, with Mannie Fresh producing most of it and it being released through Cash Money Records.
Their name seems odd. Boo is what someone calls their S.O. and the other has named himself off of an infamous gangster... I must be missing something. Away, from that, this is a consistently decent project but nothing more. It's worth noting that it features two Kanye beats, 'Gangsta' and '600', but they aren't touching his best work.
'Think It Over', or 'Think...', as it appears on some tracklists, is the only song that caught my attention to any high degree thanks to its sample. The topics on hand aren't too interesting. There are a number of songs about chicks, some general gangsta rap and one or two more consciously minded songs like 'Dead Ghetto', where the ghetto is personified and that features and was produced by the King of R&B. 'Baby Girl' is kind of catchy as well with its bouncy hook by TQ. The penultimate, Hot Shit', on the other hand, is slow, boring and the worst thing here.
Like I said, it's a decent listen, but I wouldn't recommend this unless you adore Mannie Fresh production. I've given this a bunch of spins but not much has stuck with me.
Best Tracks: Dear Ghetto, 1 Adam 12, Think It Over, 600, Out Here
