RBL Posse's HOSTILE TAKEOVER--the production and some of the concepts seemed a little "out-there" for RBL the first time I heard it, but after two or three listens I really got into it! Black C. has often said that his favorite group is Above The Law, and his production here proves it...instead of trying to emulate the old RBL sound, Chris took it to the new millenium and succeeded, IMHO. And the lyrics from C and Hitman are on point and street-centric (even the "flossing" songs)...
@BlessDaWizeGuy--A big AMEN and AMEN on your opinion of Dubee's TURFMATIC! Dubee's still got skills, and even when he's rhyming mostly about partying, thizzing-out and getting bitches, he's pretty funny, IMHO! Basically, my take is that if you approach TURFMATIC the way you approached TURF BUCANEERS (which was pretty party-centric as well), it's easier to like. Sure, I miss Khayree's production, too, but it's 2003, not 1996. I don't know WHY people act like TURFMATIC is such a crime against nature! Just my opinion, though...
PEACE!
