Suga Free – Street Gospel

1. Intro
2. Why U bullshittin’?…Great beat by Quik with a strange touch of “Egyptian” sounding instruments.  It sounds great though.  Suga Free puts down a tight flow.  4/5
3. I’d rather give you my bitch…The beat is tight and Suga Free changes his flow up a lot.  He uses his traditional “slow then speed up” style, but then he sings certain parts.  4/5
4. Doe doe and a skunk…Production sounds like an old school R&B track.  A different kind of weed song.  3.5/5
5. Don’t no suckaz live here…Tight mix of 70’s funk in the production.  Playa Hamm lays down some tight lines on the second verse.  Chorus is hella tight.  4/5
6. Tip toe…Tight, laidback gangsta beat.  DJ Quik blesses the mic along with Suga Free and Hi-C.  All three rip up the track.  Nice hook.  4/5
7. I wanna go home (The county jail song)…A unique track.  The beat is nothing more than someone constructing a beat on a tabletop.  His lines sound like a freestyle, but it’s a tight ass flow.  3.5/5
8. If U stay ready…Classic Quik production.  Suga Free flows well to it.  Playa Hamm appears for a couple decent verses.  The last verse is the best when they trade lines back and forth.  3.5/5
9. Fly fo life…The beat is decent, but Suga Free’s lyrics are off the hook, especially when he flows a whole verse without a break or pause.  I could do without the saxophone in the loop though.  4/5
10.   On my way…Very soft track.  The instrumental sounds like it could be a “Quik’s Groove”.  Suga Free’s slow and fast style is a nice match to the production.  A+ chorus.  4.5/5
11.   Secrets…The production gets your attention right away.  It sounds like a Big Hutch beat.  Suga Free uses another mix of rapping and singing.  Dope hook.  4.5/5
12.   Table interlude…insert
13.   Dip da…Very smooth production.  A nice track which praises his mother and putting down his father.  Suga Free spits some heartfelt lyrics here.  He does the hook perfectly.  5/5
14.   Tip toe (reprise)…instrumental

OVERALL…4.25/5

Suga Free has a very unique rapping style.  He hardly ever carries the same tempo throughout a track, rather he raps slower at the beginning and then speeds up the latter part of the line.  He also uses a mix of singing on some select tracks.  This album was entirely produced by DJ Quik so the production is top-notch.  The lyrical content is heavy on pimpin’ and women, but he puts a very different twist on it.
