Even though this was released as a single, I feel this is an underrated Mack 1-0 song that should have been a bigger hit than it was; the beat is just too perfect. Mack Dime spit some real shit in this song & it's dope how he talks about his relationship with God among other things. The hook by Young Soprano is dope and fits the song very well. I consider this track one of his best in this decade that he's done. Even the speech by the pastor at the end is bangin'. 8)

Co-sign. Hustlas Handbook overall is a very slept on album. Glad to see Mack give the executive producer role to Fred Wreck on that album as well.

^True. I dig that track "Step Yo Game Up" with B-Real & DJ. That Fredwreck beat is dope.

The Bidness was my fav from Fred off that. Not a weak track on that whole album.

^Yeah that one is a banger too. And I agree, none of the songs on the album are filler or bad at all. "Da Bizness", "Like This", "The Testimony", "Step Yo Game Up", "My Chucks", "Ride Out" & "By The Bar" are my favorites from "Hustla's Handbook". 8)

i disagree, too much typical dirty south sound shit for me

i know that Mack 10 gets a lot of love on this board and i'm not saying that it's wrong, but i just don't consider it a loss that mack 10 is not in the westside connection anymore; he's average imo.

I never really considered Mack a lyricist or anything like that, but this album was the first without ANY Cube influence on it. So I was interested to hear and see how the album would flow and be without him on it. And I thought alot of the beats were on point and Mack seemed to really take his time on his rhymes on this one.

^True. I'd consider Mack's 1st two albums & his work on WSC's 1st album to be on the lyrical side, just not on the level of WC or Cube though.

And I can still appreciate his work on all his projects. He has alot of hit records so he doing something right IMO. I still can't see WSCG without Mack 10 in any shape or form.

^I agree. It's like having a new "NWA", it just isn't the same. They can't be the "gangsta, the killa & the dope dealer" without Mack 10. Too bad they can't squash their differences. If Game & Big Fase and Daz/Kurupt can, then there's still a chance for Mack 10 & WC/Cube to do it too.

Yeah it is. And that beef really killed the momentum they were building on the 2nd WSC album.
