Mack 10 – Based on a True Story

1. Mack Manson…intro
2. Chicken hawk II…Good Mack 10 flow to a unique beat.  Ice Cube is a nice addition to the chorus.  3.5/5
3. Mack 10, Mack 10…Decent interpolation of Roxanne, Roxanne.  Track features Allfrumtha I and The Comrades.  3/5
4. Bangin’ gears…interlude
5. Backyard boogie…Nice head noddin’ beat.  Mack flows well over the track.  4/5
6. Can’t stop…Tight production.  E-40 appears to put down some tight lyrics.  Mack’s gotta hella tight flow.  4/5
7. Tonight’s the night…Production has a mix of laidback and gangsta.  Good beat and flow.  4/5
8. Aqua boogie…interlude
9. The guppies…Ice Cube appears on the track and puts down a couple of tight verses.  However, the beat gets repetitive.  3/5
10.   Inglewood swangin’…Sample from “Hollywood swinging”.  Cool, laidback production accompanies Mack’s smooth flow.  4/5
11.   Dopeman…A remake of N.W.A.’s “Dopeman”, with updated lyrics.  Beat sounds pretty much the same, with a touch of ‘97’s production.  3.5/5
12.   What you need (Dopeman ’97)…Smooth, laidback production.  Mack raps about his hustle and does a nice job on the mic.  Good hook.  4/5
13.   Only in California…Simple, but bangin’ production.  Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg appear on the track.  Everybody puts down a tight flow.  Nice hook.  4.5/5
14.   Gangster poem…interlude
15.   W/S foe life…Average production.  Decent flow, but boring chorus.  3/5
16.   Based on a true story…Laidback gangsta production.  Hella tight lyrics.  Nice hook.  5/5

OVERALL…8/10

A solid second effort from Mack 10.  A few bangin’ songs are scattered throughout the LP, but there are also many songs worth skipping.  Mack 10 has a tight flow and delivery and the production goes well with it.  Good west coast album.

LAZY:
id give "back yard boogie" "Mack 10, Mack 10" The guppies" and "only in california" maybe 5 but maybe 4.5 but yeah this album was a 8
