New 2 the board, and my first review, haven't seen this reviewed so thought I'd take a crack at it

1. Super Cuz (Intro) - No rating, just an intro

2. Street Gangs - Not a song, instead just a little history about gang life. Not bad, good backround music. 3/5

3. What Cha Talkin' Bout - Good beat, not great, simple lyrics, typical Daz, nothing spectacular, but good song.
3.5/5

4. Thiz Iz Not Over (Til We Say So) - One of my favorites, great beat, good lyrics. Wish he had someone with him on the track, like Kurupt, but still a really good song. 4/5

5. One-Nine-99 - Weak song, probably a filler song. Beat sux, and Lil C-Style is wack. Could of been left of. 2/5

6. Who's Knoccin at My Door - Laid back beat, decent lyrics. Good song, nothing special bout this one. 3.5/5

7. What Ya Lease Expected - Great Song, song that gets you amped. Battle song. Great beat, even better chrous. My fav. on whole album. 5/5

8. What It Iz - Again, typical Daz here, phat beat, but lyrics are just not there. This song sounds like its directed at Death Row, talks about back-stabbing. 4/5

9. I'd Rather Lie 2 Ya f/Kurupt - Kurupt does the chrous, good ass beat. Classic DPG here. Would of fit real well on the D.P.G. album that was released. 4/5

10. On tha Grind f/Kurupt - Song appeared here first, then on Kurupt's Space Boogie. Its a main-stream song, not bad though, good beat, good lyrics. Takes you back in time, real laid back. 4.5/5

11. If You Want This Pussy (Interlude) - Definite pass over, I alwayz skip this one. Not really a song, just an annoying ass skit. Oh well every album has em. 1/5

12. Your Gyrlfriend 2 f/Mac Shawn, Soopafly - Love this song, classic D.P.G sex song here. Follow up 2 Kurupts Your Gyrlfriend on Streetz Iz A Mutha. Wish Kurupt had a verse here, but Soopafly has a good verse. Like the beat better on this one than the one on Streetz Iz A Mutha 4.5/5

13. R.A.W. f/Kurupt - Another D.P.G classic, another battle song. Beat is amazing on this one, something I've never heard b4. Both come correct 2. 5/5

14. Itz All About That Money - Weak track, good beat, but lyrics are too simple. Skipable after a couple listens. 3/5

15. Movin' Around f/Slip Capone - I like this track, cuz of Slip Capone, who seems 2 be great when he's featured on an album. Laid back beat, def. a phat ass song. Slip should of rapped more. 4/5

16. U Ain't Knowin' - Another filler track, nothing special here, the beat is plain and so are the lyrics. 2/5

17. Agony - Not a Daz song, some lady, I think its LayToya Williams, not sure though. She has a nice voice, but this song seems out of place on the album. Don't like it, I alwayz skip right over it. 2/5

18. Feels Good f/Kurupt - Alwayz thought if this got radio play, it would've blown up big time. Phat beat, great lyrics, Kurupt just flows so nicely 2 this song. Def. a commerical track, but would of def. blown up if played on the radio. When you hear it, just makes you want 2 bounce. 4.5/5

19. My System f/Kurupt - This songs great if you got a phat as system. Beat is hella crazy, but song gets boring after a couple minutes. 3/5

20. Baccstabber f/Mark Morrison, Tray Dee - Like a remix 2 What It Iz. Another diss directed at Death Row in my opinion. Like it way better that What It Iz. Beats way better. 4/5

21. Super Cuz (Outro) - Nothing important, just an outro.

Overall this album was phat, a def. D.P.G. classic. Although not as good as Daz's first cd, it was pretty damn good. 8/10.
