This kat is from Houston Texas, I had this album a long time ago and got rid of it for some reason. He has a very strong gangsta vibe to him, deep voice, typical Houston sounding kat. The first cut is “That Gee” and it features someone else besides Big 50 but they don’t say who it is, this cut is alright after the first 30 seconds, it starts off hella weak, the beat is very solid as well. “Funk Flow” is a nice chilled cut that you can roll and smoke to, Big 50 comes with some nice laid back vocals on this track.

“Fucked-N-Da-Game” is track 4 and it’s a hella tight cut, the beat is off the hook and the vocals are very solid as well, everyone will like this track. Next up is the best song by far on the album “Respect”, after a little 2 minute skit Big 50 starts to rap to this bomb ass beat, this beat will rattle the shit outta your trunk, this is one of those songs you just press repeat on and bump non-stop. My favorite line is in this track “I gets respect in my muthafuckin neighborhood, time after time I have to uncock my nine.”

Track 6 is “Everyday” and it’s a laid back track with signing in the chorus and shit, it aint bad but its nothing that grabs your attention. “Blowed Away” is another laid back sounding cut, its is alright at best, it isnt annoying or anything but again “nothing that grabs your attention”. “Fried” follows this and it is a lot better then the last few tracks, the beat is nice and smooth, the vocals are solid and the overall feel on this cut reminds me of the old Texas shit.

“So Tight” is next up and its alright at best, they use an old school chorus on this track, just like Young Dre D does on “Hater Free” and a lot of other people use it also. “Suthern Style” is next up and its off the fucking hook, the beat is really cold and Big 50 drops some really cold vocals on this junt, vintage Texas rap right here. “Mr 187” has a really tight chorus that grabs your attention right away, once he starts rapping he keeps your attention, he drops some really tight vocals on this track, there is a little annoying sound on the beat though, but you can get over it.

“Baller-4-Life” is track 12, it has a nice beat but the vocals arent anything that special, its an alright cut at best. “Fried (Screw Mix)” is next up and its hella tight, the regular song is really tight and this screw does it justice. “Gee Tight” is next up and he sounds just like Scarface on this junt here, this track is pretty tight, nice uptempo sounding beat to it, this would be a nice song to roll to and bounce your head to. The last track is “Outro” and its off the hook, he talks for the first minute of it and then he it slows down to a screwed song and he starts to rap, it is too dam cold, I used to bump this shit non-stop when I was on that acid, it would be hella tight to bump while you on that fry as well, you have to hear this shit to appreciate how cold it is.

Overall this is a very solid album from Big 50, his new album aint that tight but if you can find this for a nice price, the good songs are sure worth the money, the beats and the flows are mostly all tight.
