Alrighty since Im bored and no one else seems like they are going to...
1. Intro
Doesnt really need a review...
2. Outlaws
Hype song from the start. Normal Dayton killer material in the song. Eerie ass beat especially behind the hook which sets the mood of the song very nicely. Reminds me of something Yukmouth would do somewhat.
3. Do You Remember
Slow beat I dont like fake "mixing" in the backround or the brake screeching sound which is most of the beat. String sounds like doesnt really give a fuck about this track to me. Bootleg saves the track with arguablly the best verse on the LP especially when he rips it acapella near the end. The hook is smooth and fits the piece well.
4. Welcome To Flint
Rugged ass song from the start. Bootleg and String ride on it very well as the beats usually match their rhymes which comes out very well. The hook isnt anything special, mediocre at best. String put it down well and seemed to have put effort behind gettin the verse out. Bootleg, as normal, drops a nice verse but nothing to memorable for him.
5. Feds
The beat doesnt mix well at first. Piano and big bass dont blend well to my ear but thankfully its mostly a normal Steve Pitts beat for the majority after the opening. Bootlegs verse is nice and has a memorable line here and there but I think gets outshinned by String on this with a very well spit verse that rode the beat very nicely and it had a very driven sound to it, leaving a great impact.
6. Gangstarism (featuring Goldfish)
Some Thug Reggae. The track starts over a hype ass beat and verse from String who rips the shit with amazing skill. The beat stands out alot on this track and its very addictive and prone to get your head noddin. Goldfish drops a nice intro along with a tight hook. Bootleg clears house with his verse which is in contention for best verse on the LP with the one from "Do You Remember". He goes back to the rhyme style he used most notably on "Blood Bath" from FBI but with a more up tempo vibe.
7. Shadows (featuring Kalonda & Ryan)
Very eerie opening and beat. The piano is spinetingling along with what sounds like some syth violins. It has a very gothic vibe to it. String spits a pretty nice verse, typical String stuff. There is a Pac sound byte and then a terrible hook. I hate the hook on this track the girls voice is annoying as fuck and hurts my ears. Bootzilla drops a well done introspective verse which makes the track that much eerier.
8. Drugstore
Another uptempto piano driven beat. Kinda sounds... poppy but in a way only Steve Pitts could do. Average verses from both with basic material about robbing and whatnot. The hook is nice and catchy though, I like it. The end annoys me with String sayin Drugstores over and over for about 30seconds ugh.
9. Set Up
Weak opening I think. Beats alright for a Pitts beat. This is probably the most ignorable track on the cd. Strings verse is subpar and Boot doesnt sound to of put to much effort into writin his verse.
10. We Kept It Ghetto
Nice beat, I like pianos! The girl singin gives the song atmosphere, which is nice. Boots verse opens nice and ends alright but I noticed he seems to of slurred a few of his words not that its terrible but its odd for sure. String spits a verse that sounds like somethin Jake the Flake wrote rhyming words to death. Nice beat and tempo and slightly above average verses from the duo.
11. Dope House
It sounds like its something off "Whats on My Mind". String rips the uptempo beat with a nice verse that he keeps up with the beat which he is better at rhyming faster so its a nice plus. Nice skit in the middle. Bootleg drops a verse that sounds like "No Future" with his flow and style that is pretty good. The end is sorta funny but it could of been cut off and no one would of cared.
12. Young Thugs (featuring Ghetto E & Lori)
From the start I dont like the beat and girl singin on it doesnt add a damn thing positive. The hook is mediocre but they need a new girl to sing this girl sucks. Bootlegs verse is probably the whackest thing Ive heard him spit... ever probably. Ghetto E is the best thing to happen to the track as he comes pretty damn nice on it. He flows on this beat much better than the other two but sometimes the bitch singing in the background matches him in vocal strength so thats annoying.
13. Big Mac 11
Another "old school" sounding beat. Sounds like something straight off "Whats on My Mind?". The beat is wild and is nice for them to rap on. The hook isnt that bad even though it has the bitch going "Ahhh" on it, its one of the better of the cd. String keeps up with the beat well and sounds just like the old stuff. I wish it was longer or had Jake Flake on it to top off the old vibe of it.
14. Weed Song
The beat sounds jacked from a Spice 1 cd. The openings annoying, damn talking intros on songs. Strings verse is above average for him Id say. The hook is aight and fits the song well. Boot rips a rather nice "drug induced" verse but nothing spectacular.
15. Simple Wish
Simple wish is nice. It sounds like Pitts stole a Dre beat at the start but that doesnt last. String rides like a mutha on this shit, probably the best thing from him on the CD. Some head bobbin thug shit. The hook is fucking nice. Leg takes up where String left off and spits a pretty amazing verse but I think String out did him.
16. Outro
Same as intro... no need. Its just a beat.
Overall: Id say overall this has some of the best stuff Dayton has done. They are much more uptempo which I like from both of them very much. The beats have changed up some from older material but it sounds more modern so its acceptable. I feel String could of come better overall, his two solos in my eyes were pretty nice where as I wasnt all that into him before them. Bootleg keeps getting better and better as he gets older and he takes advantage of these beats and makes them his. He could of done more for some of the songs but overall he put in a great effort. Id like to of had more verses in the songs and more Jake the Flake and Ghetto E but I can deal. Overall: Id give this 4 and 1/2 GasMasks!(This is a GOOD thing)
