20-2-Life - Up For Parole
Reviewed By: GRIM
Album Rate: 5 out of 5 Stars
I have a lot of albums that I like a lot, but this one has to be one of my favorites all time. It’s a classic release from the classic Bigtyme Records in Houston (The same label that DJ Screw Started with). The intro is crunk as fuck, its just talking and shit but it sets the whole tempo for this amazing album, this album is a fuckin classic no doubt, you should get up right now and go buy it if you can still find it. “Up 4 Parole” is track 2 and its blazing, Killahoe and Black really get off on this track, they are telling stories this whole album, the lyrics are thought out very well on every song. “After Servin A Deuce” is more of an uptempo song, the beat is tight though, the vocals are hella tight, they are talking bout coming back to the streets after being locked up.
“Backstreets” is a classic cut, it has been featured on a lot of compiliations but its always a remix that sucks dick that is featured, none of them can touch this original one, the beat on this track is amazing and the vocals are off the hook. “17.5” is my favorite track on this album, the beat is tight as fuck and Black & Killahoe are kickin some knowledge about coming up selling dope. “Playa Haters” is a slower style cut but its still crunk as fuck, they are dissing UGK I think on this track since UGK left Bigtyme records.
“Wonderful World” is a little singing skit, its still tight as fuck though. “Deep In My Drawers” is up next and what do you know, its off the fuckin map, this shit is too dam tight, the beat is crunk and so are the vocals—everyone will bump the shit out of this song. “Candy 2 A Stranger” is another crunk song, I know yall like “Dam Grim, you say all these songs are crunk”—well they all are, this album is amazing. “Da Muzik” is the only song I really don’t bump on this track, I really never got into it. “Road 2 No Return” is track 11 and it has a very tight laid back beat, the lyrics are hella tight also.
The last track has dam near everyone from SPC on it, if you are a big South Park music fan, you will love this shit. It has everyone from PSK-13, Point Blank, .38, K-Rino, Klondike Kat, J Flex, Dope E, Icelord, Street Military, Ganksta Nip, Ice Mike and a gang of others on it also, this song is off the hook, very classic SPC style.
Overall this is one of the best albums ever made, everyone should have this, the vocals are perfect on every song, the beats are tight as fuck also. If you can still find this shit pick it up right away, I’m sure you wont be dissappointed.
