Title: should I buy Suga Free - Street Gospel?
Post by: C-clamp on January 05, 2003, 10:05:26 AM
I heard this shit is so good, my only worry is that suga free kinda has the same voice as Cee-lo and maybe his voice may get annoying.  I know quik produced all of it so the beats are tight, but what I want to know is if it's one of those front to back albums(never skip a song)?  So anyone who's got the album......please preach the word of the gospel to me.

I haven't bought it, but I think no matter what, a Suga Free album should be worth listening to.

Hell Yea!

/me points to the door : "Off you go, down the CD shop!"  ;)

I Was Dubious At First But If Youve Heard Suga Free As Im Sure You Have You'll Know His Style. He's Got A Unique Voice & Sick Flow, Combined With Mainly Quik Beats - You Cant Go Wrong!  ;D

Man, fuck the Source!  When was the last time they gave any west coast artist besides snoop or cube any love?  Didn't they give Streetz is a Mutha like a 3 or some shit like that.  If it were up to the source, rap would begin and end in NYC.

Anyways, I ordered the album off the web, cause they don't know anything about Suga Free up here in Toronto.  I got it for a decent price though, 11.99US($19 or $20canadian).

The source gave tha streetz iz a mutha 4 mics this is the review

By now everybody and their baby mama knows the scoop behind the rise and fall of the death row records empire and suge knight. We saw how this recording powerhouse became one of the most successful black owned labels ever. We also saw the gangsta life synonymous with death row become its undoing, leaving its all star roster in dire straits. Which brings us to Kurupt. Doing what any self respecting gangsta would do, he started his own imprint, Antra music group and released his product by his damm self. Although last years solo debut Kuruption came and went quitely dont expect the kingpin to throw in the towel and go out like a sucker. Hell no as a matter of fact, hes coming back even harder to grab the ears of thugs from coast to coast with his latest outing The Streetz iz a Mutha. Combining equal part hot beats, sharp lyrics and love from his star studied family, Kurupt delivers an album that can be summed up in one word gangsta. Whether he is riding with partner in rhyme Daz Dillinger on welcome home mic tusslin with xzibit and crooked i on the street banger step up, or givin up the game on scandelous females with Dr Dre on hoes a housewife. Kurupt takes listeners on a first hand tour of life in the fast world of money cash and hoes. The albums standout track Callin O ut Names is a must hear. Without giving up too much leys just say that more than a few big dogs will probably have responses after hearing this. Production wise The Streetz combines the best of g funk and east coast styles to produce an aurally stimulating collection. Warm basslines and slinky synths combined with dark samples and jeep beats produce flavorful results. Even with the use of multiple producers on this project the lp comes off as a very cohesive package, allowing for an easy listen straight through. Rhyming with a hunger that hasant been seen since his early death row days kurupt drops some of his best worl to date with the streetz iz a mutha. With the right single and hot video, this one can easily propel itself to platinum success, AS ITS ONE OF THE YEARS BEST AND MOST CONSISTANT ALBUMS TO DATE.

I thought id put that last bit in caps, any mistakes its my fault coz i typed it up. Its from the December 99 issue, oh yeah kurupt got the hip hop quotable for his verse on trylogy. The one which starts he knew better mask and all blue sweater.

This is one of the best albums I got, and I got lots of them... :)

Its one of these albums where you dont skip a single track, and you'll never get tired of it! I picked that shit up when it came out, and I still play it atleast once a week!

5/5, classic shit right there!
