This falls away towards the end, particularly in terms of the content with a string of sex tracks, (WTH is 'Automobile'?) but most of the production is fire. It would be even better without the skits breaking up the funk. It lacks the bite of their debut without Cube writing, but like I said, it's worth listening to for the strong Dre and Yella beats. Best Tracks: Prelude, Real Niggaz Don't Die, Appetite for Destruction, Real Niggaz, One Less Bitch

Felt Like I'd Been Here Before Better than the previous GTA in all areas and like most GTA games this was released to critical acclaim, so few will agree, and I gave this a few tries, but the sittings never lasted too long. Personally, I can't imagine someone who loved the series around 'GTA Vice City' getting a big kick out this. The shoot and cover system is definitely a huge plus these days (one of my bugbears with the older GTAs was the shooting mechanics) but at its core, what has really changed? The need to switch characters in this due to being able to play as different people just leads to more boring A to B driving. The character should just be at home or where they need to be to move to the next mission-sometimes 'realism' leads to boredom. Overall, as I was with GTA IV, I am unenthused by this series these days. They need to go for something totally different with GTA VI. Set it in the future or something...

Mountain biking, snowboarding and kayaking are featured over tracks in various continents. The racing is fast but the graphics are poor. Instead of colliding with objects the racers seems to go through them and the difference between the events are minimal.

Popular rappers always bring about clones, and while listening to this mixtape, I can't help but think of Nicki Minaj. From the hash-tag rapping, the lyrics, pronunciation, singing, and even Brianna's voice at times, she does give off a strong Harajuku Barbie vibe, however, without the annoyance Nicki can sometimes bring. Apart from some pop-rap like 'Tatoo', the beats are mostly pretty hard, and feel more like southern hip hop influenced than anything else. While there is nothing great here, Brianna isn't a bad rapper/singer. Moving on though I think she would want to have a bit more originality or she'll be seen as somewhat of a copycat. Best Tracks: Reality Show, Hey Ho, Face Off Outro, Brianna

I'm pretty sure I've heard that a lot of this was done fairly quickly from The D.O.C. We would have gotten a more lyrical, topical, better second album that would have gained more attention than his eventual follow up 'Helter Skelter' did in '96 following his car accident. The beats are full of funk samples from the '70s and are some of the best for its time. Like I've said before, the '80s is far from my favourite period for hip hop production, evident by the fact I've only 4 starred 3 hip hop albums from that decade. The best songs are largely the higher energy and tempo ones like 'Portrait of a Master Piece' that shows off The D.O.C.'s talents brilliantly. Dope album and probably the best hip hop album from the '80s. Beats: ★★★☆ Bars: ★★★★☆ Best Tracks: It's Funky Enough, The D.O.C. & The Doctor, The Formula, Portrait of a Master Piece, The Grand Finalé
