This is very much along the lines of what I expected, very heavy on Bay Area guest appearances, (way too much of Krondon and the like) and producers, but the other shift in content is Mitchy has aged and 'grown up' to an extent, however, some of that is overwhelmed and weighed down by an over reliance on what I'll describe as pimp shyt, which is embedded in SD gang culture, esp. A bunch of these dudes aren't even rappers to put it mildly....Part of that whole circuit is the Vegas circle of gang bangers and gangsters turned pimps, putting out tapes and tracks, and a bunch of that shyt is wack, as far as music, but gets embraced by those in the lifestyle. There is too much of that here, though Mitchy's bars are always many cuts above anyone else on the same subjects....and his SD/Cali references far surpass generic rappers like Game and Problem.
Songs like 'Y.A', 'Grown Man', and 'Since You've Been Gone', are on a complete different tier, as far as subject matter, production, and themes. They reflect a mature, introspective Slick, conflicted about the life he's chose, and others have chosen, in part because of his influence, music and street. A haunting kind of contradiction, that I want to expand on, in another thread, is his personification of young prostitutes, on 'YA', and his relentless glorification of pimping throughout the rest of the album. Dude is selling dreams about the game. The hookers are, by and large not these glamorous 'snow bunnies', but young black girls getting turned out by people from the same conditions as them.
The album is weighed down with tired subject matter, bad production, pimping and balling, many songs without much besides Slick and his dope verse, over wack beats, with wack guest spots. 'California Stunt Team', despite it's title isn't among these, strong production and on point, tight rhymes escalate it over most of the album.
'Hey Lil White Girl', despite his hometown references, and his flow is a really tired track, the subject matter sags through a decent beat, taking a very grating trip into the fascination with white bytches and sexual escapades. These song will get a lot of love, easy to relate to, but they aren't tracks that really showcase the artist and rapper Mitchy has always been. Like a lot of Mitchy's work, it's uneven, and if trimmed down to 10 tracks or so, would be an exemplary project, it's still a great testament to Slick's talent, at 45 years old or so.

My wife's cousins are all WCC out here in diego and they all jackers, pimps, rappers and gang bang nikkas... they got grey beards and all shyts crazy...but they be ballin hard tho
Randy Alton Graves aka Sweets was just sentenced to life in prison for trafficking charges relating to the RICO indictment against WCC from two years back.....He was about 55. If you read the criminal complaint, you can see this dude was hitting the block like he was in his 20's, serving 8ths and 7's to the YG's, and doing some other, more significant work on the side. I don't know if you followed that case, but, I am sure your extended fam knows about it.
Wilbert Ross, Terry Hollins, and Three Babiez click got life too, for racketeering, murder, trafficking of a minor. Again, reading the complaint, these dudes were living like tweakers. Holed up in dope spot motels and shyt.
I want to talk more about the Mitchy album and gang culture in SD in general, I may have to write something up.

There are so many below par, or just painfully average guests on here, it's really takes away from some of the songs. Like 'Since You've Been Gone', Mitchy spits a really dope verse, with him the strength in his rhymes is the details and little shyt that you just have to catch, if you know whats up....It's also somewhat of a storytelling verse, which he always kills, and then Killer Keise comes in with bars that to call cliched would be an understatement. The most generic snitch/kill/betrayal verse you could write in 5 minutes. It really cuts off a dope track, that has Slick spitting fire over a very soulful beat.
'Rain On Me', I really love the delivery, flow, and bars of the second verse, but I feel like there are a lot of wasted bars on pimp rhymes, when that beat was hard as fukk.

California Burrito

now on Spotify 
and that 'Dr. Cube', song I just want to say, misses the mark, as a song, due to a bad beat, and misguided concept....because Mitchy doesn't need Dre or Cube, and never did. They aren't half the artist he is, or at least haven't been in 20 years or more. They wouldn't even know what to do with an artist like Slick.
dont know why Guce is on this tbh

Always rocked with Mitchy. Grew up with some Gz in the Dip, and my 1st baby moms did/still lives off Solola.
