2.5 out of 5 Stars

This compilation came out a few years back and got my attention with appearances from such people as Al Kapone, Skinny Pimp and Indo G. The first cut is by Big Syke and its called “Riiidahz”, this song is pretty ruggish, I aint feelin it though, Big Syke is from the West Coast and has a strong West Coast vibe to him, this song really doesnt do anything for me. Joe Blakk is next up with “Talkin No Shit” and its an aight cut at best, the best is pretty weak and Joe Blakk is coming suspect on the mic also, its nothing I ever bump.

SSP is up next with “Chronic Daze” and this is a song off their last album, this cut is hella tight, the chorus is very cold and the beat is really tight as well. Whoridaz, Cool Nuts and Bosko are up next with “When The Sun Goes Down”, this shit is pretty tight, has a strong west coast vibe to it but its very solid. That nigga B-Legit and Mac Shawn drop the next track “Deep N The Game”, I am very dissappointed with B-Legit on this track, it sounds like he just threw this shit together and didnt take no time, its a terrible track.

Improper Lifestyle do track 7, its called “On N Crackin”, they from Calli, this cut is pretty tight----the beat and the vocals by them are very solid. “Parking Lot Pimping” is next up and its by Mr. No Name, this track is aight at the best, nothing special though, nice laid back junt. That old school nigga AMG drops the next track “12 Inches”, this is a descent cut from him, I expect more from him, the beat is pretty weak but AMG drops some nice vocals on this track, he is talking bout bitches like usual.

“Welfare Queen” features Vig Section, this is a funny ass cut, you gotta peep the chorus of this shit, It sounds too real when they are singing but it has to be a joke, this song though is hella tight, these niggaz from New Mexico drop some dope shit on this track. “Incense and Thai Stix” is next up by Improper Lifestyle, it an aight cut at best, something that you could listen to without fast forwarding, nothing that you skip right to though.

Skaface Al Kapone is next up with “Lets Get Fucked Up” and Al drops some really solid shit on this junt here, its always good to hear from Al, this cut has the style of Al’s music on it, kinda like Memphis 2 Da Bombed Out Bay album, its a tight song though. RBX and Shiesty drop track 14 “OG’s & BG’S”, this track is flat out terrible. Shuga Shaft is next up with “The Gladiator” and he is from San Diego, this song is pretty solid, the beat is tight, sounds like some old school Calli gangsta shit---I am really feelin this track.

Kingpin Skinny Pimp comes next with “Ride Or Die”, when I first seen this I thought it was another remix or from an album but it aint even though he has songs named this, Skinny is yelling and shit on this track though, the beat is hella tight but he fucks it up with his vocals. Indo G and that blazing ass bitch Smokey Jo drop the next track, “Boy or Man” and this cut is probably the best track on the album, Indo G raps like he did while he was on Prophet, very nice beat by him on this track also.

The last track is by Improper Lifestyle again, its called “Pasadena Brothers” and its a pretty solid track, nice song to end the album on. Overall this is a descent compilation at the best, it has a few tight cuts but nothing that is just off the map and is a must have. I wouldnt recommend anyone to pick this album up, unless you find it for bout 2 bones and then it is still suspect.
