It took me many months trying to find "somethin' to blaze to" and "rated g" (T.A.'s first two albums) after finally finding them I was completly satisfied. Each of those albums would have gotten 5 stars, but this one however is another story. I realize groups from '93 had to change their style (no more chronic style beats) to accomodate the new sounds of '97, but other than world war 3 the beats were unimaginative, boring and sounded like anyone could produce them. T.A. had amazing lyrics for gangsta rappers back then, but in '97 you had to come up with some thought provoking material which T.A. couldn't do. Bad lryics with bad beats equals bad album. Sorry for the knock on this one guys, but thanks a lot for your first two albums if your reading this.
