Mane this album came out back in 96 and I was so glad to finally see a Memphis compiliation-all these niggas on the same album, the only thang that couuld have been better was them rapping together instead of seperate cuts. The first cut is a classic song by the Alkatraz Syndicate-mane these niggas come hard as fuck on this cut-the beat is cold as fuck, it starts off with Al Kapone droppin a really nice verse, then 1st Degree and Deep Sleep drop a nice veres, they are followed by Young Lo-most under rated nigga-he drops a nice ass verse, Big Vince comes next with a descent verse, GK comes right after him, Taylor Boy comes next and he is followed by C-9 flowing ass-mane he flows so dam fast on this shit and he is followed by KoKaine Wayne tight ass and he drops the last verse-mane this song is cold as fuck-everyone will love this shit.

"Tennessee Thang" is the next cut and its by Kool Daddy Fresh-its a really laid back cut but it aint really nothing that I have ever bumped. Slicc and the Ghetto Twinz drop the next cut "Down And Out"--this cut aint nothing special really. Three 6 Mafia is up next with another remix of "Tear Da Club Up" and this version is pretty tight-its the remix of the first Tear Da Club Up Song that they made-its a nice cut to bump-and the beat is really nice. Lil Milt is up next with "Come Real" and this is a really laid back cut-the beat is done by Playa G and you can tell it is by how laid back it is-this song alright. Playa G is up with a song next called "I Wanna Be Wit You" and its another laid back cut, Playa G has a really mellow voice and is just kickin some pimpin-he almost sounds like Koopsta when he raps cuz he is somewhat singing rappin-this song is hella tight if you like laid back cuts.

Indo G & Lil Blunt are up with a crunk ass cut next called "Blame It On The Funk"--this song is really nice, its the old style Indo G rappin--both him and Lil Blunt drop really nice verses. "Screwed Up Click" is the next cut and its screwed by DJ Screw-this song is pretty tight--its basically Lil Keke rapping. Gangsta Blac is up next with a song off of his Can It Be album, this is called "Lifes A Bitch" and its a pretty tight cut. After him is that nigga Kingpin Skinny Pimp dropping the cut "Everything Is Business" which was produced by DJ Paul and Juicy J-I dont know any album that this was released on-I think it might have been on Smoked Out loced out but this is a different version of this cut. Skinny drops some nice ass vocals on this cut, its the old Skinny Pimp rapping-so he is flowing fast on the majority of this song.

Young Lo comes with the next cut and its hella mellow--I was actually dissappointed this cut-it is called 'Serious" and that is what kind of song it is-he is kickin really deep lyrics on this cut. K.N.S are up next with "Watchin Em" and this song features Kool Daddy Fresh and Big D-this song isnt anything tight at all. "Young Southern Playaz" is the next cut by Tha Cellmates and this shit is bumping in the trunk-they drop a really nice cut on this one. The last cut is by Gangsta Pat and its the slow Gangsta Pat but this song is hella tight "Real Niggaz Tote Glocks" and he is droppin really nice lyrics and the beat is on point-yall will like this shit. Overall this is a very nice album to have if you are a Memphis rap fan--there isnt many songs on here that arent good-they are all at least listenable--and there are some really tight cuts on here.
