Title: Yo-Yo - You Betta Ask Somebody
Post by: eazye on April 08, 2008, 08:49:01 AM: With produciton from the usual suspects when it came to an album from a Cube affiliate in the first half of the 90's (QDIII, Mr. Woody, Pockets, Tootie and Cube himself) this is a really good and solid album from Yo-Yo if you ask me.

Yo-Yo is a dope female MC, and this album shows it (the best performance of hers I've heard still remains her verse on Arsenio's last show, but that's another story).Some of the more notable tracks are the QDIII produced ones, such as 20 Sack, Girl's Got A Gun (with a dope Big Daddy Kane vocal sample), IBwin' With My crewin' and the title track, all dope.Letter to the pen is a dope track also, and the Bonnie and Clyde theme with Cube too

My favoutire tracks tho, are Givin' It Up, which features someone from Da Lench Mob that's not J-Dee (excuse my ignorance, but I don't really recognize the guy, and I can't find info anywhere on the features for this track), and he really RIPS the track.The track also features someone who sounds really like Prince Ital Joe, but I doubt it's him

Second favourite track is Pass It On, which is a FUNKY posse cut that features a bunch of female MCs, uknown to me, but they do their thing

There are 2 tracks that I skip, Can You Handle IT and They Shit don't stink.Beats are hella annoying and performance is just average to me

Hope this ain't annoying, cause I plan on doing it for quite a lot of albums (if the response is good) that I haven't listened to in a long time or that I haven't listened to at all
