Up to the release of this album, I think this is Paris' weakest. Many of the beats are a lil lackluster, lacking the funk or 'bump-ness' of his previous material. The beats are possibly closer to his earlier stuff than the funk-influenced last couple of albums. It's still all solid with meaningful lyrics as Paris always spits but there is less breathtaking stuff here. Best Tracks: Field Nigga Boogie, Freedom, Ain't No Love, What Would You Do?, Freedom [the Last Cell Remix]

This album starts off pretty well with the first few tracks making for a good listen. The production is good and B-Real's unique voice flows well. From there, there is nothing brilliant or too poor but it does drop off in the second half with many of them just being okay songs. I can't say I will play this too often after a listen or two and fans can probably find some better Cypress Hill material if they are in the need for B-Real vocals. Best Tracks: Smoke N Mirrors, Gangsta Music, Don't Ya Dare Laugh, Stack'n Paper

Most of what's on offer here is pretty good. 'The One' is the only one I'd skip straight away due to the beat. The rest of them have qualities to 'em. I don't think the beats are as bad as people are saying overall either. Tracks 12 to 14 are particularly good with a not so hardcore hip hop feel to them as the majority of the album. Overall, the main issue I have with this album is that if you're making a hip hop supergroup you want artists that are quite different vocally. I don't think you get that with these four guys, they sound too similar. It's not like it's Nas and AZ together, or Bun and Pimp C who sound completely different. Nevertheless, track for track, apart from 'Cuckoo' which is annoying, (when they say "Cuckooooo"), 'Salute' which is boring, and as mentioned 'The One' being one to skip, the rest of the tracks are good. Best Tracks: Sound Off, Lyrical Murderers, Not Tonight, Pray, Cut You Loose, Raindrops

Obie's debut is a better-rounded album, containing some excellent tunes that beat anything on this, but overall there is enough to enjoy here. The weakest portion of the album is easily the middle where it falls away with tracks like 'Jamaican Girl', 'Kill Me a Mutha' and 'Out of State' failing to excite. However, from 'All of My Life' through to the completion of the disc, most work well. 3-3.5/5. Best Tracks: Violent, Cry Now, All of My Life, Ghetto, There They Go, Mama, Everywhere I Go

When you acquire a Flo Rida album, after hearing a single or anything from his debut, surely you know what to expect. He is a rapper with a fast flow (sometimes incomprehensible) who mostly raps over radio/club friendly beats. If you completely hate pop rap why would you even bother with this? For me despite currently having a higher rating, this is a worse album than his debut 'Mail on Sunday'. This has more average songs and less that catches my attention. There are a couple of tunes to enjoy on this that are indicated below but there isn't anything too impressive. It's pretty simple, if you hate anything you've heard from Flo Rida this will be a waste of an hour while you listen to it, if you enjoy some of what he does check this out. Best Tracks: Jump, Gotta Get It (Dancer), R.O.O.T.S.
