$trictly 4 Da $treets (Drugs, Sex & Violence Vol.1) [PA] - Camoflauge

Advantages: Great bass lines, good lyrics & features other good artists
Disadvantages: Some duff tracks, not too original

...I am not the big rap fan I once was I really don't like most of the new rap that's coming out, because they all sound the same. They all seem to have that "I'm rich and blah-blah-blah" attitude. So I very rarely buy rap albums anymore. However, I did pick up a copy of 50 Cent's "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," and I have to say I'm impressed. Is it different from most of the rap albums out today? Not really. What Is different is while others fail in their execution, this one almost hits the right note every time. I found this album to be pretty addictive. It takes awhile for it to grow on you, but when it does you can't get it out of your head. A word of warning to those who don't like violent music this is NOT an album for you. It has everything from drugs to violence, from sex to murder, from drug deals to hits, and so on and so on. He does... Read review

Advantages: Best of nwa and all related songs involving family members like Snoop and Tha Dogg Pound
Disadvantages: One or two songs aren't originals

...NWA, the pioneers of West coast ('Gangsta Shit'). This double CD Album brings you a decade of top hits like 'Alwayz Into somethin'', 'California Love' and 'Bow Down' By the Westside Connection. Also a Radio mega mix which consists of several classics which is off the head. If you want to buy something with a range of diversity in songs but within that gangsta vibe category this album shows that. The are actually only three songs that are JUST by the group itself, the selection is admirable with loads of real westcoast shit including rap like 'Da Lench Mob', 'Mack 10', and 'Above the Law' This is a real beast see its worth the money for real no doubt about , peace out ya'll...

Advantages: Best track - She won't let me f***
Disadvantages: Worst track - American dream

...have a sense of humour. 3. She won't let me f*** A randomly good song. A bit rude thought and has sex references. 4. Hush Good song 5. Tumbleweed Good song 6. Let's all get drunk Many alcohol and violence references. Very good song though. Good to sing to. 7. Tall cans Good song 8. Palmdale Good song 9. Mississippi Good song 10. The American dream Has the exact same backing track as to 'Because I got high' just with Afroman saying about him being the American dream. I don't like this track to be honest. (Good song = not so rude as the others and just generally a good song!) I would recommend this album to anyone over 16 and up for a laugh. This album is not suited for anyone easily offended though. It can be bought from HMV or Virgin Megastores.... Read review
