#1 - Based On A True Story - 5/5 (CLASSIC) - Yea I said that shit...this album is a striaght classic imo...every song bumps..some highlights are backyard boogie, the guppies, dopeman, and only in california..no wack tracks, hell not even any avg tracks
#2 - Mack 10 - 4.75/5 (NEAR-CLASSIC) - only 2 songs that are avg imo and those are here comes the g & 10 million ways...otherwise it would be another classic
1 #3 - Hustla's Handbook - 4.25/5 - This album surprised the fuck outta me...didn't think mack could come so dope without cube & wc, but he sure as hell did it...some wack tracks nonetheless like i'm a star, keep it hood, livin just to ball, with a few more boring avg tracks (da bizness, cognac & doja)...like this bangs, testimony is a classic, step yo game up is real nice as well
Not a big difference for me when it comes the posistioning of 4-6...
#4 - Bang Or Ball - 3.75/5 - Album grew on me as time went on...Mannie Fresh did a nice job behind the boards on this one as he did nearly every track...mack did a nice job not leavin his westcoast roots with amazing tracks like connected for life, hate in yo eyes, no dick at all, let it be known etc...1 knock on it, is the last 3 tracks are REALLY BAD (especially murder)...to this day connected for life is my fav wscg track
#5 - The Recipe - 3.5/5 - Was a nice album, cool to see mack gettin down with damn near everybody, but it was a bit much..we got 1 solo mack track on here, and it was easily 1 of the best (the letter) on the entire album (leaving you wanting more mack on his own)...some tracks just didn't fit mack's style (you ain't seen nothin, made ni99az, for the money) but let the games begin was dope...money's just a touch away is the greatest mack song ever imo
#6 - Tha Paper Route - 3.25/5 - This album has also grown on me a whole lot...A little short though, with a few fillers...from tha streetz is sooo dope, and nobody is a nice wscg cut i under-appreciated at first..too short layed down somethin sweet on pimp or die, while the track with t-boz was cool, and i'm dope had a nice concept..Pop X was just filled with too many ppl, and jazze pha + mack 10 = BAD (keep it gangsta track)...Spousal abuse was horrible, and for sale was a bad mix as well with big gipp and the youngbloodz...ended on a good note with tha weekend though
Also let me add that the mack 10 presents: da hood album is very nice...production on that is off the hook..and god damn did techniec kill the joints he was on...ghetto, gutter, gangsta ain't bad either
what y'all think?

Mack 10 3.5/5 Not a bad album, not to happy with alot of Cube's production, but there were a couple classics on here. Mack was still pretty raw, was more of a powerful rapper than a "traditional" emcee.
Based on a True Story 4/5 His best album imo. Nice & short, which is a great thing for a rapper who doesn't have crazy bars like that. Had approproate guests on a few tracks, much better production and I think they played to Mack's strengths very well, hiding his shortcomings ( no homo )
The Recipie 3/5 Pretty much a big mess. Production was pretty basic, guests didn't always seem to fit well, and there was a alot of cluster on this. For a compilation, it was cool, but for a solo album ( which is what is was billed as ), this was a major step back from BOATS
Paper Route 2.5/5 Trying to hard on this, and I though alot of Westcoast rappers were basically phoning it in at this time. There were too many of "let's make this a hit single" kinda of attitude, when Mack is NOT the rapper for that. Again, I thought production was way too regional, and I really didn't here anything I haven't heard before from Mack 1-0
Bang or Ball 3.5/5 This wasn't a great album, but for those of us who were getting a little tired of Mack's repetitivness, especially production wise, enjoyed this album. He sounded a lot fresher over those beats, and I think it gave him his second wind. Plus, this is really the 1st album he made REALLY dope singles. I didn't like the overexposure of Cash Money artists on the project, and it did get stale after about track 13 or so.
Hustler's Handbook 4/5 Nothing really wrong about this album at all. The only reason I couldnt rate it higher is because there is also nothing that really stood out. I thought he had pretty decent production, and had his best lyrics of his career on this too. I didn't like that one dude who was on like 70% of the tracks, but it can be overlooked. Album was especially impressive because a sub-par rapper put out an album not only late in his career, but WELL above his capabilities.

I haven't listened to Based on a True Story but Mack 10's self titled is classic IMO. I love almost every song on there especially Here Comes The G
-
No hate but I'm really suprised that a couple people calling Mack 10's Mack 10 a classic. Do u guys mean just for a Westcoast album or an actual hip-hop classic? I think dude is a pretty dope rapper, but come on now.

Should of reworded it. A westcoast classic. Definently can't compare to some other albums but it's very consistant and dope imo.
