As I was youtube surfing last night I came across this classic joint by Juvenile from the summer of 2001. “Set It Off” used to be one of the crime influenced theme songs for my football teammates and I. I do remember listening to this track about 78 fuckin times on the way to camp...

I could only wish that I had had the intuition to be a hip-hop journalist at the age of eight. If I would have I might have been able to write reviews about an album such as Doggystyle. Well, since I own this site and I pretty much dictate whatever goes on in this corner...

I must say that I didn’t really like Ghetto Fabulous much when it first came out but over the years the album really grew on me. I think this album really illustrates the musical genus that some of the No Limit artists possessed. Its sad to know that this was pretty musc the last good album...

I remember the first time I heard this album was right around the time my granny passed away from a brain tumor. I remember my big cousin driving me and my little brother around in one of his chicks yellow something or another bumpin the hell out of this record. I must say that this...

When Memorial Day first came out the only thing that made me even think about picking it us was the bright red case. Other than that I must admit that I wasn’t at all a fan of Full Blooded. This is actually the first time I ever listened to a single track off...

Along with Big Ed and Snoop Dogg, Steady Mobb’n were a few of the other artist who hailed from the west coast. They released their debut effort Pre-Meditated Drama in early 1997. I didn’t get into this album when it first came out basically because I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bavgate or Crooked Alfonso.   Master...

I took a liking to the Ghetto Commission from the very first time I heard them a few months earlier on the I Got The Hook Up soundtrack. I remember coming home from a field trip in the eighth grade and hopping on my bike for a cold ass ride up to Target to pick this album up. Even though...

First off, I must say that I believe that Mia X is one, if not, the best female MCs to ever bless the game. Her second album Unlady Like was one of the hottest albums of the summer in 1997. Her follow up effort, 1998’s Mama Drama displayed an even more mature and commanding first lady of...

When I first heard of the Gambino Family I thought it was actually a two-man crew but by the time their debut album Ghetto Organized dropped in 1998 they multiplied into a four-man tantrum. The first two members Lil Gotti and Pheno seemed like they had some potential based on their early features but the two...

I never really got into the Prime Suspects too much. As a matter of fact I didn’t even listen to their debut album Guilty Til Proven Innocent until this year. After a ten year tardy on the task I must say that I was somewhat satisfied with the outcome. I would love to deliberate more on the history of Skinew,...

I remember being in the 8th grade and going through a full day of class thinking about picking up this CD after school. The cover art looked good so I figured there was no way in hell that this CD wasn’t going to good as hell. Boy was I wrong. This is one of the CDs...

In March of 1998 inside the jacket to C-Murder’s Life Or Death joint there was an advertisement for Magic’s debut effort Skys The Limit. It crazy how you can have so much money and clout that you can just give your little brother his own label and his own artist. That’s just what Master P did...
