Back with another one of these, this time Tha Liks. One of my favorite groups, great party music, never been about that gangsta lifestyle, just good, partying music. Here the breakdown:
(http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/150/150247.jpg)
1. Likwit - (with King Tee)
2. Only When I'm Drunk
3. Last Call
4. Can't Tell Me Shit

6. Bullshit - (with King Tee)
7. Soda Pop - (with Field Trip)
8. Make Room
9. Mary Jane
10. Who Dem Niggas - (with Threat)
21 & Over: Great debut album. One of those you can just throw on and let it bump from start to finish. Too many favorites to name.

1. WLIX
2. Read My Lips

5. All The Way Live
6. Hit And Run
7. DAAAM!
8. 2014
9. Bottoms Up
10. Flashback
11. Next Level, The
Coast II Coast: This album was probably their most lyrical. It really had that pure hip hop sound to it. My personal favorite out of all their albums. Also marked the debut of Xzibit. 2014 was my shit off this album. Also The Next Level.

1. AA Meeting Intro
2. Likwidation
3. Captain Hook

8. LL Cool J Skit
9. Feel The Real
10. Hip Hop Drunkies - (featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard)
11. Aww Sh*t
12. J-Ro Late Skit
13. Keep It Pourin'
14. Likwit Ridas - (featuring The Whoridas)
15. Funny Style - (featuring King Tee)
16. Commercial Skit
17. All Night
18. Debarge Skit
19. Pass Out
20. 20th Caller Skit
21. Rockin' With The Best - (featuring Phil Da Agony)
22. Contents Unda Pressure
Likwidation: Beats were INSANE on this album. Their most mainstream and diverse album, I really thought this album was going to make them a household name. But the promo for Hip Hop Junkies got all fucked up and it just did not work out that way. E-Swift did his thing on this album.
(http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/420/424260.jpg)
1. Intro
2. Bar Code
3. Run Wild - (featuring Shae Fiol)
4. L-I-K-S
5. Bully Foot Skit
6. Bully Foot - (featuring Busta Rhymes)
7. My Dear - (featuring Defari)
8. Interlude
9. Da Da Da Da
10. 40 Oz Quartet Part 1
11. Sickness - (featuring Butch Cassidy)
12. Goin' Crazy
13. Best U Can
14. 40 Oz Quartet Part 2
15. Anotha Round
16. Yo Mouth - (skit)
17. Bubble, The - (featuring King T)
18. 151 - (featuring Xzibit)
19. Promote Violins - (featuring Kurupt)
X.O. Experience: This album got alot of heat for the Neptunes single Best U Can. I actually thought it was a cool single but nonetheless this one is more of the same, partying and dope ass beats. Xzibit had 2 dope appearances and Kurupt blacked the fuck out on Promote Violins. E-Swift is the constant on the album with the beats and J-Ro and Tash stay razor sharp with the rhymes.

1. Intro
2. Turn It Up
3. Flute Song, The (Lalala)
4. Popular Demand
5. Get Down, The
6. Get Into It
7. Faded
8. Chaos
9. Hangover
10. Party Ya A** Off
11. On The Floor
12. Poverty's Paradise
13. Drink With Us
14. Do It
15. Over Here
Firewater: Honestly this album is not bad but compared to their other albums, it is the weakest. Nima said in a interview it sounded like the lyrics were sent it instead of that chemistry with all of them in the studio. I agree with that. This album also had more of a harder hitting sound, but definitely some gems on here. HANGOVER IS THAT JOINT!!! Bishop Lamont lost his mind on that track.
So for me I rank them like this:
C2C
21&O
Likwidation
X.O.
Firewater
Solid catalogue with alot of hits. Hopefully this is not the last we here from them. Again if you are new to Tha Liks, check it out, it is not your normal, typical sound or subject matter from the West. Good partying music with dope beats and lyrics. Definitely one of the best groups out west. Drop ya thoughts.
Next up, and this will be a tough one, MC Eiht.
-
+1 for this
i'll drop my in-depth thoughts 8)
-
i only have likwidation....
im slackin on my alkaholiks shit
-
MC Eith? damn you're crazy,a serious Eith thread on DubCC,ha,ha. Is there a way to ban that Finnish dude from the thread? He's going to ruin the thread,I smell trouble.... I can see him and iliveinthefuture going at it,ha,ha.
Yeah that one would be difficult to do, he has alot of albums out. Shit, maybe I will do a different artist instead then. LOL!
-
^^^^
that too,I can't keep up with him anymore.
I love Music to driveby,other than that I find his album a little unconsistent. Represent is the best album he has done in the recent years,I hope "he" doesnt see this. He will ruin this thread with all "affiliated" is a classic bs.
ooh well,back to the liks. nice review,but one thing; bishop blacked out? bishop who? lamont? he was on their last album?
Yeah Bishop Lamont was on that Hangover track with Stylistik Jones. Dope track.
-
Chad you got any Liks albums?
-
No Alkie fans in the house?
-

-

ha,ha got to be real with you. I'm not the biggest fan either,I love King T and X but somehow slept on these cats.
The Eiht breakdown will probably have alot of reply's,fuck it just let us ignore that Finnish dude.
Eith is dope....
I am gathering the ones I know that I have. Pretty sure I have all of them and I am not including his collabo albums with Spice 1 and Brotha Lynch in there. Yeah Tha Liks ain't for everyone, but they most def have a great catalogue imo.
-
Outbound won't be left out either. I got a Willie D review I am working on also. Lunatic is going to do a Scarface one.

what's with the homo shit? I love what you all do,no matter if I'm a fan or not.
So keep it up D`Nice and Luna...
Thanks, glad to see you're enjoying the reviews. Basically I do it for people not up to date with artists music to check it out and for the fans to take a trip down memory lane, even check out some albums they may not have.
-
^^^^^
I'm usually on top of things,but I've been sleeping on a couple of artists. But by your reviews I might give the artist(s) a 2nd chance. That's the power of reviews,I remember that Em said that he checked everything that got 3.5 or more. (in The Source)
Thanx to you,Evidence and Kemo got another fan.
Yeah I got to get you Kemo's 1st album also. I will send you that later tonight and the other ones we talked about. Almost tempted to do a King Tee review now.

"About to do Yuk" - gotta have no homo behind that lol :D
Besides, I got Trae as well. Just give me some time.

"Rap Life" is my favourite Alkaholiks material released (even though it's only Tash), but i've never really liked their group albums, they got some tight tracks here & there though. Somebody hook me up with "Hip Hop Drunkies"?
-
^^^^
ha,ha is there something special about his name or what?
Not really, but "about to do" ain't the most neutral phrase when a name is involved ;)

Yeah Rap Life is dope. I like J-Ro's new album as well but Rap Life is slept on.

I heard a couple of tracks from that new J-Ro album and they were both very dope. I think one of them was the first single and the other song was produced by Snoop?? Somebody hook me up with this album??

Well right now J-Ro put out a solo album not long ago, Tash is working on his solo, and they're doing a lot of touring, I think down the line we're definitely gonna get aonther Liks album. Although in the interview they seemed more hyped about an actual Likwit Crew reunion album.
