Now, I am probably one of the biggest Rick Rock fans in the world, but his beats on My Ghetto Reprt Card get a little repetative right? They thump hella hard but he usually fux with the instrumentation more than this. While the beats were clean he didn't have that "Hyphy", or "I Got Dat Work" style track, those never got boring. Tell me wut u think.

^^^^ True true but Rick always switches it up. Eventhough the Feds first album was trash IMO, the beats were super different. Oh yeah has anybody heard this Track called "My Hood" they played it on Power 106 in LA. It's a nigga from the bay over a rick rocker that shits on half of the shyt he did for my ghetto report card. The corus is a bite from Keak it's like "I don't put that on thats my hood..." slaps

Did you ever think about the project coming out on a south owned label as having something to do wit it.Or Rick Rock not being able to play the same production roll on this record as the other Bay classics he`s done before?

Rick Rocks "signature" is his bass lines....everything in the song maybe be repetitve...but his bass line conducts the flow of the beat....thats what makes him unique....

Best beat ever done by him is "You Dont Want It" by Federation....

rick rock still did his thing on the album in my opinion...i can see where it could have been the same (repetative)..but yet he still had some sick ass tracks on that album...and maybe it's the sound that 40 wanted..cause rick rock ain't gotta show you again...i always digged changed the game...shit blapped

The sound that they were looking for on 40's album was a stripped down, up-tempo sound...and thats what Rick gave him.

I thought that 'Do Ya Head Like This' is an absolute SLUMP...and Rick's drum game is like none other...he's got this SWING in his drums that I can't explain...and he still keeps it fonky and gives it that West Coast feel to it...but at the same time it sounds futuristic w/ the layering of his synths.

I thought he did a great job on the album...

** For the record...after a few listens through...I thought that Studio Ton came through with the best beat on the album...even though he only had one...it was lovely. **
