What you expect from any Paris album is some great hard content, confrontational lyrics, an MC hungry and hard on the mic who never gets boring and some dope production. While not quite his greatest, this album ticks the boxes on all of them. It does feature a couple of skippable tracks but the subject matter, best tracks and interesting political speech excerpts including Jeremiah Wrights 'The Day of Jerusalem’s Fall' make up for that. While I don't agree with everything he says, you can just feel the anger through the speakers in 'Blap That Ass Up'. Let's hope it's not another five years before another album from P-Dog. Best Tracks (In Order): Get Fired Up, Acid Reflex, Don't Stop the Movement, The Hustle, Blap That Ass Up, One Gun, Winter in America, The Violence of the Lambs.

I like the beats here a bit more than 'Tha Block Is Hot' with the drums sounding more crisp and less cheap, but there are few high moments. 'Way of Life' has the recognisable 'Don't Look Any Further' sample that makes it stand out by a lot and everything else is average. Mannie Fresh works better with Mystikal than Wayne. Best Tracks: Way of Life, Gangsta and Pimps, Gangsta Shit, 500 Degreez

Juvenile is quite mumbly and incomprehensible at times, but at the same time he is a fun rapper to listen to. Songs like 'Ha' demonstrate this well. Mannie Fresh does a good job with the beats but they don't blow me away as they don't on his other produced albums from around this time like on Wayne's albums. Best Tracks: Ha, Welcome 2 the Nolia, Back That Azz Up, Ha Jay-Z Remix.

For me, Naughty's first three albums are all right up there as far as my favourite albums go. They are each consistent pieces of work each with their own great singles and mix hardcore hip hop with more poppy beats at times containing hooks that'll get stuck in your head. I love everything here except some songs towards the end, although I still like 'em and wouldn't rank them as filler. A hard album. Best Tracks: Hip Hop Hooray (got me into the group), Ready For Dem, The Hood Comes First, The Only Ones, It's On, Written On Ya Kitten.

While I don't find Jadakiss overly interesting to listen to on this album what mainly lets the album down are that some of the beats are quite boring and a few of the choruses are unsatisfying. There are some good tracks mentioned below but nothing too great. Gets a 2/5 after a couple of spins. Best Tracks: Pain & Torture, Can't Stop Me (Hook lets it down a little though), What If, Smoking Gun, Come and Get Me, By My Side
