Album Rate: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

This is Gangsta Blac’s first album nationwide through Prophet, he had a underground album with Prophet. This is really only the 4th release that DJ Paul and Juicy J put out nationwide. It starts off with a lil intro with Paul and Juicy talking and shit, then it is followed by a tight lil DJ Mix with no rapping or anything like that....very nice bumping cut.

“Powder” is a classic song, it is talking bout coke.....this song has a amazing beat and the flows by Gangsta Blac are off the map....this is one of my favorite tracks on the cd. “Getting Real Buck” is next up and its more of a Get Buck type of song, it is fast paced cut and it really is tight. “Aint No Love” features Lord Infamous, its a slower sounding cut, it is a descent track, nothing that special though. “Down Wit SPV” is next up, it has a nice lil beat and the lyrics by GB are straight. “My Click So Thick” is next up and this shit is blazing, GB comes tight as fuck on this track, the beat is really solid and it fits the vocals perfect.

Gangsta Boo collabs with Gangsta Blac on this next cut called “A Couple Of Jackers”....this track has a really weird beat but its tight, its that classic DJ Paul and Juicy type of shit....both Boo and Blac come solid on the mic----very tight cut. “V-Dog and Da Gangsta” is next up and it is an aight cut, it features V-Dog.....I really aint feelin it all that much though. “Where I Dwell” is one of the best cuts on this cd if not the best, it features DJ Paul and Juicy J....they are dropping really tight vocals to this amazing beat---everyone will love this track here.

“Dont Trust Em” is next up, its just an average cut, the beat isnt the best though—not bad though. “Aint No Thang” is a slower style cut, I really never bumped this track all that much, it really dont fit in with GB’s get buck type of style and shit but it aint a bad track. “Wanna Guess” is next up and this shit is off the hook, its just a radio version but mane, its off the map---very tight beat and GB comes hard as fuck on the mic. “Can It Be” is the title track of this CD, it has a really solid laid back beat and nice vocals by GB.

“Critical” is a very uptempo track with a nice beat, the vocals and content of the song are really tight. “Tire Shop” is next up and it features DJ Paul, this is an amazing song, the beat is too dam cold and the vocals are off the map----if you dont like this shit, something is wrong wit cha ass. “Lifes A Bitch” features Cool B, it has a really smooth beat and tight deep lyrics, nice cut to chill out and smoke to. “Crank Dis Bitch Up” is track 19, it has a really tight beat, for some reason I never got into this track much even though its a really tight track.

“Blaze Up Anotha One” is next up and this track is horrible, I know alot of people like it but I really cant stand it, its a get buck type of song with a smoke tip....I aint feelin it, the beat is too dam loud. The last cut is “Funkytown” and its by 3-6 Mafia, this track is off the hook, very nice track to finish off the album with. Overall this is a must have cd for any Memphis fan, 3-6 fan, Gangsta Blac fan, shit any southern fan should have this album, it has that classic Prophet feel to it, go pick it up while you still can.
