I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this, but on 'Then She Bit Me', Will gives off a huge Ice-T vibe to me. It's unlike how he has ever rapped previously. In terms of consistency, overall the production is another step up from their previous albums, however, this album perhaps lacks the classics other DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince albums contain. Best Tracks: Then She Bit Me, Jazzy's Groove, Everthing That Glitters (Ain't Always Gold), You Got It (Donut), Numero Uno

I don't get the big deal about this. Sure, he may write the odd humorous bar, but Cam'ron is a bore to listen with his straight talking rapping style that anyone could do. Tthe only songs that stand out are 'Harlem Streets' with 'The Theme From Hill Street Blues' sample, that would turn anything into a good song, and the Kanye co-produced 'Down and Out'. A lot of rap fans ride for him but I don't get the fandom. While the beats are of a slightly higher standard than 'Diplomatic Immunity', average production overall with a pretty dull vocalist isn't a good mix. Forgettable. Best Tracks: Down and Out, Harlem Streets

I really liked 'Love Me or Hate Me' so I got this. Unfortunately, I don't like the rest of the album very much. If you like any other song other than the aforementioned one, then you may like the majority of the album as the rest of the tracks are probably more similar to each other. Best Track: Love Me or Hate Me

This looks like Naughty's last LP they will ever do, and while it doesn't reach the heights of their older music, it's still quite solid all the way through, a better listen overall than their previous album, and as you come to expect there is a mix of anthems and 'real' hip hop on here. Anthem wise you have the tracks such as 'Feels Good', 'Red Light' and 'Swing Swang'. More conscious stuff like the last track 'Family Tree' and 'Naughty by Nature', and you also have what past Naughty albums have had - a sexual inspired track like in 'What You Wanna Do'. There's also what has been on a few previous albums in a real aggressive banger toward the end in 'Wild Muthafuckas' produced by Lil Jon. Unsurprisingly, with Kay Gee not being involved with this album the beats are created by many more producers than their previous efforts, but it still has that Naughty By Nature feel to it, and Treach and Vinnie don't miss a beat. Best Tracks: Icons, Swing Swang, Rah Rah, Feels Good, N.J to L.A, Red Light, Wild Muthafuckas, Family Tree. Here's to another Naughty By Nature album in the future. *Written many years ago.

It's a shame that Shyne seems to have lost his voice while he was incarcerated. He had this great raw style on this and his debut which work well over the right beats, for which this album, more so than his debut has. There are only a few songs that don't work. 'Jimmy Choo', with Ashanti, is too pop for Shyne, 'The Gang' beat is lacking and 'Behind the Walls' doesn't suit him or fit in with the rest of the album's production. The production itself comes from some big names, and Shyne himself provides the beat for a diss track that was recorded from a phone from prison, 'For the Record', along with co-producing a couple of others. It's a tight 4/5 as a few don't work but I love the best few. Best Tracks: More or Less, Shyne, Martyr, Godfather, Edge, Diamonds & Mac-10s
