Maybe I Missed It, But What's So Good About Terrorist Threats?

[R-Tistic]

I have always been a fan of beats and flow over complex lyrics. This CD is veery solid...nothin great classic or exceptional, but it's far from weak to me. It isn't too many songs that have u itchin to play em like some other albums have had, but it's not any songs that I think are weak. Bangin at the party and Izm are tite as hell for house party tracks, maybe even at a club. There are some songs that I'd prefer to hear over others, but I can play this cd straight thru without wantin to change the tracks.

Its definatly a solid album, but was also a dissapointment in my eyes.

4.2/5

Yeah, I can agree with that.
Not as hardcore as they said/wanted it to be, but pretty cool..
Probably Westcoast album of the year, in front of Yukmouth, Boo Ya Tribe and Defari..

[Don Breezio]

in all fairness...we cant really compare it to bow down...i mean...everyone says "it was a dissapointment compared to bow down"...but fuck...almost every album released since bow down has been a dissapointment compared to bow down. that album is straight classic. thats like trying to compare It was written to Illmatic...both damn good albums but one is always going to be better than the other (while most people say illmatic i say it was written was better)

The Production on all 3 of those LPs was MUCH hotter. Lyrically and flow wise Defari and Yuk came stronger. Ridds flow was still better than Dime, Cube and Dub. I don't see it.


Luke: I would NEVER compare this garbage to Bow Down, but I was told and seen people say this album was better than Bow Down.

[Lincoln]

I respect your opinions but I really liked the album. Only tracks I really disliked were Izm & Banging At The Party. Cube looks like he could make the transition back to his old self in the next few years, and Mack 10 came dope IMO. WC was dope as well.

[Kaidy]

I think people are calling it album of the year right now because it just came out and you know how excitable some people get (eg calling obie trice and g-unit album classics).

BUT I think you're being harsh. Ice Cube ripped this album up. I agree Mack and Dub were disappointing, but shit Cube made up for it. His best lics since the better songs on the War disc. And Dub was okay, he's just getting old.

Beats were on the whole impressive. Couple of very average tracks and nothing really forward-thinking, but for a gangsta album the beats were hard.

Topics were good, totally summed up real West coast fans attitude towards the industry in 2003 imo.

Definitely a hot album in its own right, fuck comparing it to shit that came out 7 years ago. Coulda been better, coulda been a lot worse.

But I'm still giving album of the year to Yuk.

[SGV]

^^If it is that hot, then I guess I'm not being that harsh. I'm just being straight up. I gave this CD a bump at home, in the car and at work twice. It never caught my attention AT ALL. Aside from the singles, "Gangsta Nation" and "Lightz Out," there may have been two other tracks, one being "So Many Rappers In Love," that I liked. Possibly if I didn't hear all the hype prior to getting the album, I might have had a different opinion. But, as of now, this album is nowhere near my top albums of the year.

Mack 10 suprised me, Da Hood was hot, Bang Or Ball was hot, his guest appearances were HOT. He didn't do shit on this album.

W.C. usually kills tracks with his flow, but he just seemed lazy and unmotivated.

Cube. His flow is always so powerful, I just didn't feel it on here. Lyrically, he's coming stronger, but if your flow ain't there, you ain't getting through to anyone.

yukmouth- godzilla without a doubt. Yuk be holdin down the westcoast!!!!!!!!!!!

Its definatly a solid album, but was also a dissapointment in my eyes.

[Young Griff]

i liked the album for the most part, few tracks they could have done without.  It seemed kinda too faced paced.  It didnt really give you a lot of time to let it marinate.

[R-Tistic]

Even tho this CD doesn't compare to Bow Down, Bow Down isn't as timeless as many other west coast classics IMO, and right now I'd rather hear Terrorist threats. Some beats on Bow Down just sound toooo old 2 get into, other than the radio tracks.
