OVERALL: The problem I find with Bone Thugs releases is it's either hit or miss. There's usually no middleground. This one might be the exception. For every great produced song with a hot hook there's a cheesy song with some underlining preaching going on. The one thing that does stay consistant throughout however, is the much improved beat selection.
Biggest Negative: I'm not anti-religous by any means, but it gets a little tiresome, in a repetitive way, hearing the heveanly father mentioned on almost every verse. That, along with corny early 1990's-ish choruses ruin any good raps that might have been rhymed previously.
Biggest Positive: 1. Don't get me wrong, Bizzy and Layzie are on their game and sound, in lack for a better word, harmonious. The first 4 tracks and the 8th and 9th one, if put together would make for a classic EP, no doubt.
2. It's nice to hear Biggie's voice put to something that you believe he would have co-signed. On Cash Money, the Thug Brothers add a Biggie verse at the end of the song in a highly respectful manner, I can't say the same for a lot of his other posthumous releases.
3. There's a lot of positive messages being spat on this album, and I can't really say too many neagative things about that.
