If you've heard anything from Frayser Boy before this won't surprise you. It's gangsta rap banger after banger to get you turnt-up with no lyrically content at all to get you thinking and features some Three 6 Mafia advertisements. 3-3.5/5
Best Tracks: Big Money, Hatin' on Me, Blame it on Patron, Another Level, Any Day Any Time
I gave this a few spins but there is nothing memorable here. The rappers and lyrics aren't distinctive at all, with that being noticeable due to the MC Ren verse probably being one of the few strengths this has, and to a lesser extent the Pac song. It's a decent listen with some good moments but there are many better '93 albums. 3-2.5 / 5
Best Tracks: Process of Elimination (Untouchakickamurdaqtion)
Consistent from front to back. An attention grabber is 'California Bangers', thanks to the 'My Little Girl' sample that has been used well on a number of hip hop songs including a favourite of mine, Ludacris' Hard Times. 'You Don't Know, Who I Know' is another that may catch your attention thanks to the way Brotha Lynch spits on it. While it's consistent, there isn't anything close to amazing. Largely thanks to his voice, BHL is a distinctive rapper, I don't find Eiht to be likewise.
Best Tracks: Neighborhood Boyz, You Don't Know Who I Know, Buy Another Gun, War Outside, Round Here, California Bangers
If you are looking for a rap-funk album that's a little abstract, check this out. Many songs don't follow the usual 16/8, verse/chorus structure of most albums with Kokane not scared to play around. I enjoy parts of this, including Kokane doing his best George Clinton impression at times, but after a couple of spins, I haven't come away with much to keep.
Best Track: From the Funk to the Back, My Day Is Coming. All Bark No Bite
