East coast rappers make generic, monotonous boom bap albums about their mic skills all the time and no one complains about it, but when a west coast rapper makes a gangsta album, it gets thrashed for being what it is.

And you have to think about the time it came out on. 1992. That's when gangsta rap was a fresh and new thing. Of course now it looks like just another stereotypical album of that fashion, but you have to look at it from the right perspective or any album will look more of the same.<br /><br />What kills me is the substanceP_Captainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-75773814131459878262011-04-13T02:36:38.295-05:002011-04-13T02:36:38.295-05:00I remember this one.

The glut of albums like this is a prime reason for the decline in critical and commercial success of the hip-hop genre. Seriously, there are hundreds of major and indie releases from the early 90s featuring drive-byes, low-riders, glocks, etc. Finally the Tile Groutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-32912915957898409202011-04-12T23:55:21.498-05:002011-04-12T23:55:21.498-05:00this album without a doubt has some of the best be...this album without a doubt has some of the best beats everprotomannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-32194323077895400672011-04-12T13:19:23.857-05:002011-04-12T13:19:23.857-05:00Hell yea one of the best albums to ever come out o...Hell yea one of the best albums to ever come out of the west mc eiht's 'we come strapped' is right up there with this one imo.

All you have to say and all that has to be said is said in two words. I also liked your pick of this album, because it's a fine example of gangsta rap (music & lyrics) and younger listeners should feel inspired to take a listen.Kay-Em-Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819345125581983741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433223770288671156.post-21246830297055505452011-04-11T11:07:16.232-05:002011-04-11T11:07:16.232-05:00A slept on west coast classic.
