Juronimo:
I bought this album from hip hop site. I know that this album was supposed to come out in 1998 and I was looking forward to hearing it. With that being said, I knew it would sound a little dated. King T comes nice on this album, with a slightly more gangsta bent than he has in the past and Dre, Bud'da, Battlecat, Ant Banks and DJ Quik provide the production.
Where this album slips IMO, is Dre. All of Dre's beats to me sound boring, monotonous, uninspired, and terribly dated. I know this was made during the "Been There Done That" era were Dre did not seem at all motivated. If he had left the bulk of the production of Battlecat, who was nearing his prime as a producer, and Bud'da, who was in the midst of his prime (remember 3 card molly, ghetto vet, deeper than that, I Beez the Hardest), this would have been so much better. DJ Quik dropped a masterpiece and Ant Banks track is tight too. Dre dropped the ball on this one in more ways than one, first by giving King T lackluster production and then not releasing the album at all.
With that being said, there are a few definite bangers, such as Squeeze the Balls (yeah Baby S sounds like Snoop but Battlecat came through and I like the song dammit), Let's Make a V (Quik is a genious), Nothing Has Changed (nice soul sampling by Bud'da), and Shake Da Spot, also produced by Bud'da. These songs make the album worth purchasing and I feel I got my $20 worth just for that. Plus I've been a King T fan for a long time and it was cool hearing him again.
With that, I'd give the album a 3.5 rating and I recommend folks at least check it out.
The Predator:
You can tell the album was incomplete but the songs that sound complete like 'Shake Da Spot' and 'Nuthin has changed' are dope like you say and i give them the replay value.
Chad:
would been tighter if it was mixed better for sound quality
