I'm sure most hardcore rap fans already knew that at one point MC Ren was the "other" lyricist in the gangster group straight out of Compton called N.W.A. The reason why I refer to him as the "other" lyricist is because he was outshined in some way by the rest of the crew. Ice Cube was the man everyone recognized as the best spitter, Eazy-E had a rather colorful … more
In 1996, all eyes were on Nas contrary to what some people would have you believe (at least music wise anyway). This was the year when Nas was given the daunting task to follow up on his hip hop masterpiece Illmatic, which was released in 1994. Now get this, when judging Illmatic based on its sales the album was a failure. It didn't reach gold that year and it took years before it went platinum, … more
In 1993 the Hughes Brothers, Allen and Albert, directed the film Menace II Society, which delivered a close and personal view on life for young blacks in the worst inner cities. It was a well directed story that delivered a very powerful message following the character of Caine, a young man who was dealt a bad hand from birth by being forced to live amongst drugs and violence; he wasn't someone … more
If there is one word in the English dictionary that has grown quite annoying as of late it's the word "classic". I swear people do not know what this word means anymore. If "classic" was able to form a legal complaint for a sue case on how carelessly it is abused, it would be the richest entity on the planet. People throw this word around on many of their favorite works, … more
First off this is not a solo album from Tray Dee, it's more like a "Big Tray Dee presents" kind of thing. Kinda like Yuk's U.G.A. albums. But any way this is a great album full of great songs and artists, plenty of that West Coast music that we all know and love.
BIG TRAY DEE THE GENERAL'S LIST First off this is not a solo album from Tray Dee, it's more like a "Big Tray Dee presents" kind of thing. Kinda like Yuk's U.G.A. albums. But any way this is a great album full of great songs and artists, plenty of that West Coast music … more

DAZ DILLINGER I GOT LOVE IN THESE STREETZ This is the re-release version of the album that Daz put out with a lot more songs and minus one from the original. That of course being the track with 2pac, but even then you get a lot more music for your money so it's worth it. 1.INTRO … more
AZ PIECES OF A MAN It has been a while since I reviewed anything from the east coast so I decided to go back a little and check out my man AZ's "PIECES OF A MAN". This was his second album and while a little more upbeat at times than his first album it is still a great CD. … more

This was an album that was released by Low Life and Big C Style on Low Life records that was going to help kids and stuff with the income for the album. They put not only artists that would be on Low Life records but stacked the release with well known West Coast artists. Most of which were Dogg Pound members collectedly known as the D.P.G..

Kurupt is my favorite MC of all time so it isn't hard to believe that I love this album. But to be honest I really think there are songs here … more

I believe that this was his forth album and most [including Moe Dee] consider this his weakest effort, whether that is true or not I like it and consider it a great album.
A little listening music KOOL MOE DEE FUNKE FUNKE WISDOM For those who don't know Moe Dee is a legend in the realm of Hip Hop and commands respect no matter whom you are, one of my favorite MC's of all time. He is probably best known for his beef with one LL Cool J, the majority of people … more
Pandora Radio is a blessing to the ears. In a time where music is centered around worn out singles, there are few ways to introduce fresh songs and artists to the brain. … more
