213 - "The Hard Way"
« on: February 11, 2005, 10:45:17 PM »
Underated album IMO....Ive been bumpin this album alot lately and its a fuckin sick album...Has a smooth, real westcoast vibe to it.  I know its not the album that most of us were expecting, but none the less, its a sweet album.  In some ways it reminds me of the first Eastsidaz album.  It has a very distinct sound to it.  Im glad these guys put this album out because I will be ridiing, bumpin & smoking to this for a long time  8)

it was a good album but it wasnt instant classic that everyone was cravin for but it still out beats a lot other albums out there that recently came out in the market. The only complaint I have really with this album is where is the warren g production

For some strange reason, I've been listening to it a lot lately. Definitely a good record, and, IMO, "Keep It Gangsta" is one of the best West Coast songs ever. I loved that song ever since I first heard it.

It's kinda strange cause:

I've never really liked Snoop.
Nate sounds unmotivated sometimes and only comes with fat melodies in a few tracks.
Warren G delivers some nice verses, but a couple of them are quite average.
There's no Warren G beats, the #1 reason I loved 213.
Doesn't sound as westcoast as I would like, doesn't have that g-funk vibe.

And STILL I find it a DOPE album. Not classic, but a nice album you never get tired of, with almost 20 songs and only a couple skippers.

I cant understand how when snoop or some shit affiliated with snoop comes out everyone hates on it then after a few months slowly but surely everyone changes there mind....

It's grown on me a whole lot. It still feels wrong that there's no Warren G beats on there, but the whole thing is surprisingly solid. That Battlecat track is off the hook though.

I never understood why a lotta people didn't like it....People wanted Warren G production, which would have been tight, but the important thing is the production on the album WAS tight.

Definitely one of the top albums for 04
