This album was released in 1995 , hip hop greatest period prouduced this dark grimey album . There were a few dark records released at this time eg . cypress hill -temple of boom , funkdoobiest ,
Onyx had released bacdafucup in 1993 , which already was succesful.This album was mainly set for underground tastes , and heres why !
1.INTRO- suicidal thoughts , you can hear sticky n fredro . One of em shoots himself . 3.5/5
2.LAST DAYZ- The first underground classic track off the album , you have a dark song with a strong bass line .lyrically Nice. "thinkin about takin my own life,/ ..might as well - but they might not sell weed in hell "[ song was featured in 8mile] 5/5
3.ALL WE GOT IS US - another grimey rhyme fest , 4/5
4.PURSE SNATCHAZ - the hook is sang great with blues - which sounds like mod def.. "aint no sunshine in the city , / thats the way its going down.// people rob , and people dying , everytime i look around "..........5/5
5.SHOUT - original onyx type of song with choral in the hook , nice track -which makes the 1st 4 tracks already great ! and worth listening . 4.5/5

5/5
13.2 WRONGS -3.5/5
14.MAINTAIN [skit] 2/5
15.WALK IN NY-a great finishing track , to a great album 5/5
Sticky fingaz , fredro star , suave . They do a great job on this record . Onyx are mos famous for their aggression in their songs. This album was much more serious and deeper than their first. The three have kept their angry views, and express themselves fully on this album . This is by , polotical views , everyday livin , race, hate , and grimeynes. The whole mood of the album conentrates on real life issues , faced by them and others. For me , .. i dunno why albums like this arent put out that much . The album followed a flow , which continues. CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!
lyricals = 4/5 beats = 4.5/ 5
id give this album a 5 if it was more longer , but ill give tis a 4.5/5
9/10
