I see thereīs a couple cats that feel that Brotha Lynch Hung - Season of the Siccness is classic..... as you can read below it got 2.5  :P

Brotha Lynch Hung-Season of da Siccness (Source review)
Brotha Lynch Hung - Season of da Siccness
September 1995 issue
2 1/2 mics

After a suprisingly successful underground debut (that stemmed from the Bay Area) Brotha Lynch Hung is back to spread his evil-laced lyrics across America.
After appearing on his debut in a coffin, many of his fans actually believed he had died.
In reality, the cover just fit in with the horrific, devilish theme that surrounds his music.
We're talking about a guy who rhymes about everything from having sex with corpses to busting caps. The odd twist is that he's a damn good rapper.

His latest opens with his dopest cut "Siccmade," which deals with the previously mentioned topics.
With a nice rhyme flow, backed by gloomy guitars and doomsday piano chords, you're somewhat taken away from the sick topics being discussed,
and anticipation for a decent album rises.
The mediocre production of cuts like "Return of da Baby," a track about eating babies
(which is depressing because you realize what level hip-hop has sunk to), just isn't enough to overcome the disgusting lyrics.

There are other decent cuts like "Locc 2 Da Brain," a posse cut which features Brotha Lynch's fellow loccs.
The flyest MC is a nameless female whoes flow reminds you of Marvelous (another underground star from Cali).
"Datz Real Gangsta Shit" and "Real Loccs" (a shout-out track with the tightest beats on the album) are also worth mentioning.
The remaining joints struggle as Brotha Lynch tries to shock listeners on a whole other level.

At times he too closely resembles Spice 1, but compared to most lightweight gangsta MCs, he's still a super-middleweight.
Hopefully the next time Brotha Lynch emerges from the grave he'll be reporting on real day-to-day tales from the street instead of his wacky tales from the crypt.

By chance could you redo that Eazy-E It's On review.. the glare from the light killed the right hand border and it's hard to read.

Props on these very in-depth threads you do.  Love reading all these reviews I've never read.  But fuck the Source and some of their opinions on these albums.  You can see the East Coast bias in their reviews.

"Real MFīn G's" is a bonafied classic,but the rest?
I would probably rate the EP somewhere around 3-3.5/5  ;)
