Title: The "Helter Skelter" Appreciation Thread (Fuck The Haters)
Post by: Wizard Whitebeard on January 16, 2003, 11:44:15 PM

This album is soooooooooooooo slept on.  Yeah I said it.  You haters need to listen to it again.  I know the voice is fucked but this album is better than you give it credit for.  The beats are nice and the topics are creative and awe-inspiring at times.  Of course the lyricism is on point as usual with the diggy doc.  

There are some lame tracks, namely "Welcome to the Nu World" and "Crazy Bitchez."  The skits are also pretty lame.  But other than that, this album is HEAT.  Tracks like ".45 Automatic," "4 My Doggz," "Secret Plan," "Sonz o' Light," "Da Hereafter" & "Return of da Livin' Dead" are straight fire.

I basically don't understand how people can hate on this album unless they just can't get over the voice thing.  It's not a classic but it's waaaay above average and highly underrated.

I got the remix versions to  "Return Of Da Livin' Dead" & "From Ruthless To Death Row (Do We All Part)".... both beats are dope ass fuck. If someone need them just HOOOOOLLA!

I'd listen to it right now if I could but I sold it around '97-'98 cause it's pretty unlistenable from what I can remember.  "4 My Doggz" is the shit on that album, it would be a for sure classic track had it been recorded before the accident.  His voice is just too painful to listen to.   :'(  
I actually bought that album before No One Can Do It Better, now that's what a classic is.
