OVERALL: I give this cd a 4.5/5 I really enjoy listenin to this cd, seems like an addiction, theres not many flaws, not too many useless skits either. Its a good westcoast album by Dubcee, maybe not as good as The Shadiest one(imo) but still a great one. 8)

Thanks haha.
Dont listen to this cd much anymore, Dubcee is still good though, probably would give it a 4/5 now if I listened to it today.
-
4.5/5?
For real?
I've slept on this then. I have all of WC's albums on tape or cd except this one and the Low Profile album, which I can't find anywhere for the life of me. WC has never disappointed me. I picked up the felli fell mixtape a couple of months back, it as pretty good.
I need to give this a listen.
-
^I'd say 4/5.. at the time I did this review I was really into it and stuff, now it sounds sort of boring, with acception of a few tracks
Edit: Just read it over, what a pathetic review lol
-
Album is okay.
-
I love this album, he is better than The Shadiest One. For me Ghetto Heisman is a classic.
-
what a pathetic review lol
;D
It had a couple Cheesy Beats/Songs but overall it was Solid, it had some Classic Tracks, "Walk", "Wanna Ride", & "Let's Make a Deal"
