This feels a bit like a horrorcore version of The D.O.C.'s 'No One Can Do It Better'. It's chocked full of what are now overused samples in hip hop and while no The D.O.C., X-Raided is enjoyable to hear rap and spits some crazy bars. In a time when hip hop beats were getting better, they do perhaps sound a touch dated for '92, but as mentioned, with the amount of dope samples, it's hard not to enjoy them. Some of the samples include: Rick James, Ice Cube, Parliament, Barry White, Marvin Gaye and Isaac Hayes to name a few. If you're not disgusted by some graphic bars this is well worth listening to.
