Before rap records had that assembly-bling look, here was a gangsta rap record that certainly didn't glorify the lifestyle. The other change is a welcome variation in beats and some attempt to bring in mundane but humorous themes ("I Don't Dance"). But don't get it twisted, it's still an extremely grim, hardcore rap record ("Compton's Lynchin", "Def Wish"), and a fairly compelling one.
KRS-One produced and has his hands all over Just-Ice's third effort, which mixes in some dancehall tracks with his typical bravado-filled excursions. I would say, in spite of the celebrity assistance, his hardcore self-deprecating style never fails to come through ("Welfare Recipients").
Probably the most underground sounding rap record of 1986, hands down. His wild persona is actually drowned out by Mantronix's bizarre production, which matches the mood and feel of the album cover to a tee.
Essentially, these are collected leftovers of tracks Eazy was getting together for a planned double album while he was alive. Not great by any means, but it definitely showcases the artist's infamous renegade personality.
