The lead up to this album was crazy with Understandable Smooth and Music of the Business, but I was pretty disappointed with the album

you can tell Ras was trying to appeal to the mainstream with certain songs

Yeah. But he executed it perfectly on Understandable Smooth
fukking sample clearances

 

[Dirty D]

Remember the helicopter ride interview with Big Lez on RapCity?

Once Ghetto Fabulous didn't do what they thought it would, that was really the end of the Ras Kass push on a mainstream level.

Good album, though. Rassassination, H20Proof, It Is What It Is, Vampire, Conceited b*stard and The End were all great tracks.

I was disappointed as fukk with this lp.

aside from the title track, h2oproof, ghetto fabulous and interview with a vampire, I couldn't listen to this album. Some of the other cuts are just horrible attempts at radio/club play.

Music of the business with xzibit not making the album after it being on mixtapes for so long also pissed me off. I forget if oral sex was supposed to be on here but that joint was ill too.

I wish rassie realized that he was just a dope lyricist and made the ill tracks he was capable of instead of trying to blow up and try to be a west coast star which seemed to be way too much of a goal for him.

I'll admit I still haven't listen to it in full

That's an L on my part, given how much I love the first album. Ayo this is the one Golden Chyld was supposed to be on, correct?

i dont know for sure...i think it was

 

[JayBaldacci]

Not good. Him and priest both went from great debuts to horrible horrible follow ups.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

It sucked.

Interview wit a vampire is better than nature of the threat tho.
