I voted for Enemy Of The State ... that album I started with, still bumpin' it 2 years later...
-
Gas Chamber...that was the album he went to jail for...too raw
-
I started with til my casket drops, cause I started with that one. And that is the album that got him sent to jail, not the gas chamber. He violated his parole with this album because he had lyrics referring to gang activity, and especially the song deadly game.

3. Enemy Of The State

1. Til my casket drops

.....all his other albums are dope too, but I don't bump as much of Life as a rider, West coast mafia, or Enemy of the state.

i only got the autopsy cd in mp3(you cant find any bay area rap here in israel)
the album is tight, americas nightmer and groovin on a sunday are stright up classics.
-
Toss up between Enamy Of The State and Life As A Rider.
both of these were awesome albums that got C-Bo noticed by more fans then just those from The Bay. I.E. Musical Growth.. Market expansion.. etc. Not your typical Bay / C-Bo style from the past.

in my opinion Tales from the crypt is unbeatable i never got into his music before joining this site 7 years ago but I wish I had because Tales.. is such a dope ass cd. too bad it's hard to find sealed.

Gas Chamber is my favorite!
"Til my Casket drops" was the album he went to jail for because of the song "deadly game".... C-Bo blew up after that, I believe it even sold a million copies world wide because of the controversy!

1995~Tales from the Crypt
1995~The Best of C-B0
1997~One Life 2 Live

C-Bo
Real Name:
Shawn Thomas
Profile:
C-Bo, born Shawn “Cowboy” Thomas on 1971 in the Garden Block area of Sacramento, California. He has sold over 3.5 million albums independently since 1993. He is currently signed to West Coast Mafia Records. C-Bo, notoriously known for his relationship with law enforcement, was one of the first rappers to be jailed due to his lyrical content, a scathing critique of political officials and police on his track "Deadly Game", and unsuccessfully argued for appeal 3 times, while gaining nationwide attention for arguably his most successful mainstream album. He was arrested in California in 1998, under the suspicion that his violent rap lyrics violated his parole. He then in Ohio, rapped his court statement to the presiding judge, who gave C-Bo probation on the condition that he also rap in a Public Service Announcement. Apart from his extensive work as a solo artist he has also worked with a wide variety of known Rappers such as Tupac Shakur, E-40, Yukmouth, Spice 1, Tech N9ne, Dru Down, Kokane, Daz Dillinger and Brotha Lynch Hung. C-Bo is also part of the bay-area super group Thug Lordz, along with frequent collaborators Spice 1 and Yukmouth.

such a shame he seemingly dropped off in the 2000's he di have some dope ass verses....
-
I was a little late to get into c-bo. My first memories of hearing him were on no limit sound tracks.
I bought;
"One Life 2 Live"
"Til My Casket Drops "
"Enemy of the State"
and his latest album "Orca" (which i dont see mentioned?)
Guess i cannot vote seeing as i haven't heard the rest but all those those four are dope as fuck! particularly the first three that i mentioned.
-
Tales From The Crypt for me... I own hard copies of that and Gas Chamber
-
gas chamber
-
Enemy of State for me
-
Actually come to think of it, i prolly first heard c-bo on "all eyes on me"? i cant remember but obviously that came out before the no limit sound tracks that i recall hearing c-bo on("iam bout it" and the "west coast bad boys" albums).
-
Tales from the Crypt got the most spins for me. Half the album sound some-what dated now but it had the most effect on me when it came out for years. The rest of his album's (that I've heard) in this order
2002 Life as a Rider - had a good balance of songs and good beats...back to his more laid back flow.
2003 The Mobfather - had a few bangers that make this one stand out.
2012 Orca - kind of underrated. he took it back with this one to his old style...got a 90s feel to it.
1997 One Life 2 Live - that mob shit...remember them nice basslines, similar to Tales From the Crypt.
I liked Enemy of the State for his flow, agression and lyrical content but I just didn't think it was a great album C-Bo album. If this was your first C-Bo album you listened to, you probably don't understand but after riding mobbing to C-Bo for years with trunk thumpers and hard basslines this project seemed more digitized and commercial.
C-Bo stepped out on a limb with this one to me and it worked to a degree but not your Classic C-Bo sounding album.
-
The Autopsy hands down... if i have to choose....Cowboy is a beast tho...i bump all his shit 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
-
2003~The Mobfather
-
Till My Casket Drops....album was hard as fuck!
Mobfather was a great album too.
-
Orca
-
gas chamber, til my casket drops, tales from the crypt
-
"Til My Casket Drops" for sure. I love that album.
Orca
For real? I liked the album, but his best though?
-
I'd probably throw Orca somewhere in his top 5 albums but definitely not his best overall
