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.

The further I get into this mixtape, the lower the rating becomes. While Rick can choose a beat, at the same time too many sound the god damn same, if not with various beats on this album, with production Rick has been provided with in the past. Being an average rapper with limited subject matter, he can't afford to do that or it just gets boring. Speaking of average rappers, someone quite the opposite, Nas, provides some nice bars on 'Triple Beam Dreams' making it one of the more complete songs here. Overall, I could play most of these tracks sporadically and bounce (the production on 'MMG Untouchable' is amazingly bangin'), but in playing the whole mixtape, by the halfway way mark I start to feel bored. He didn't need to make this 80 minutes. Ross always has a few bangin' tracks though, so I'm still looking forward to the upcoming album. Best Tracks: Holy Ghost, MMG Untouchable, Triple Beam Dreams, Keys to the Crib, Stay Schemin
