    Spice 1 (The Platimum O.G.) Music Reaction & Review

    Spice 1 is back with his 15th album. This one he gets his flowers. With heavey hitting featured artists like Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg and a lot more, this turns out to be like Mack 10's Recipe more than anything. This is a conversation peice filled with banger after banger. I graded this album an A so enjoy the ride and go bump some Spice 1.

    Kurupt (Against The Grain) Let's revisit the Death Row Era 2005 - Full Album Review

    Kurupt (Against The Grain) Let's revisit the Death Row Era 2005 - Full Album Review

    In 2005 this record dropped under the radar. Death Row was running on fumes but still managed to drop what I consider to be one of the dopest Kurupt projects. What adds to the strangeness of this album, are the missing tracks that made it to "Down and Dirty", the missing Petey Pablo track and then the tracks that were straight up cut for good. Including "No Vaseline 2". It's all a crazy piece of gangsta rap history and Death Row. I'll give my thoughts on every track on this record. I'll share a few snippets even. After we look at the physical CD then in the end we'll grade the album. Join me as I dive right in to the deep end on Kurupt's "Against The Grain".

Gangsta nip ,

Retaliation , revenge and get back

Great review on that classic album and I agree it’s probably a top 5 album from the death row catalog . Just wish they would put it back on Apple iTunes , used to be on there but was taken off at the time snoop pulled all the death row catalog. Since then , put everything else back up except the Daz album.
