Title: Thier only great work
Review: This album, along with Creepin on Ah Come Up, the previously released EP are teh only truely great works by BTNH. One reason All previous albums by the group failed (Art Of War, BTNH Ressurection, TWO) is because they couldn't recapture teh blue collar feel of this album and the EP. Even the artwork on the albums showed you that stardom had changed the group. On cover to Creepin on Ah Come Up, Bizzy is actually wearing a carhartt hat, and on both, they show a workmanlike, streetedge manner, where on the other albums, they simply come across as johnny-come-lately rappers. Alos, on all previous albums they recycle a lot of content, whereas here it sounds fresh. Granted, they don't cover a lot of ground (weed, guns, homies) but in 1995 it was a new style of rapping, however, the constant repetition of these themes on all following albums, (as well as many of the Bone solo albums) flattened this group.
Is the review positive or negative?
