THIS FOR EVERY BODY WHO HAVE'NT PICKED UP THE ALBUM YET....
THANKS TO BLUTARSKI...

Mac & A.K. - Money Rhyme$

1) "Intro (Weee Baaack....)
This is just an intro track that has a lot of talking to it. I like the beat
in the background by Mac though and the talk box by C-Funk is cool. A nice
little intro track to the album.

2) "Picture That"
A tight beat by Mac Pacino to get things started off right. The song knoccs,
has a good pace to it and Mac & A.K. put it down on the mic. Both of their
styles fit the feel of the track well and they put down some good lyrics. A
tight song to start off the album with. I'm feeling it to the fullest.

3) "Hard Hitten" ft. Top Dogg Vanzetti, Money Mont
Another solid beat by Mac Pacino. After hearing the whole album I'm really
feeling his production skills a lot. All four rappers put it down on this
track. Four solid verses. I'm feeling Top Dog Vanzetti more than Money Mont.
Mac & A.K. put down good verses. A solid track overall, I'm feeling it.

4) "Gangsta Shit" ft. Money Mont
More tight production from Mac Pacino. I'm not really feeling the hook to
this song, but the verses are coo. The three put down some gangsta shit on
the mic. It would have been a lot better with a different hook, but the
verses are good and the production is tight. A good track overall.

5) "Git Money"
I'm loving the production for this track by Mac Pacino. There is some good
guitar work in the background too. Mac & A.K. flow about being rich, getting
paid and living the high life. Tight verses and a good hook to go along with
it. I'm feeling this track to the fullest. Bump it loud!

6) "World Famous" ft. E-40
One of my favorite tracks on the album. Mac Pacino lays down another tight
ass beat, probably the best on the album. It has a laid back feel to it as
all three come tight on the mic. E-40 has the second verse and puts it down.
I like the female voice on the hook by Silk-E. More nice guitar work in the
background too. A lot of elements all working together to make this a tight
ass track. I'm feeling it to the fullest. Bump it loud!

7) "U Can't Break Me" (interlude)
There is just some talking on this interlude with some background singing by
Keyshia Cole. More guitar work in the background. A nice beat by Mac Pacino
too. A nice little interlude that sounds more like an instrumental track.

8) "One Love" ft. Trigga Face
Another one of my favorite tracks. The production is tight as fuck and get
your head moving. The talk box by C-Funk is coo too. Trigga Face has a solid
verse to go along with Mac & A.K.'s coo verses. A good mix of tight
production, a nice talk box and good flows on the mic. A tight song overall,
I'm feeling it to the fullest.

9) "It Might Help" ft. Joe Moe
Damn this beat knoccs so hard and just gets your head moving as they put it
down on the mic. Mac Pacino was on point when he made this beat. Mac & A.K.
put it down on the mic with some hard flows and Joe Moe comes with a decent
verse also. I'm stuck on the production though. This beat is tight as fuck!
Can't say anything more about it, just knocc it loud!

10) "Buckle Up" ft. Above The Law
A decent beat by Mac Pacino. Hard to top the last few tracks as far as
production goes. The flows stay tight though as Mac & A.K. and Above The Law
put it down on the mic. I'm feeling this track more for the flows than the
production. A good track for the flows, I'm feeling it.

11) "Doin 2 Much"
A nice laid back beat to this song. Mac & A.K. flow about the streets and
the tough life. A good beat by Mac Pacino sets the mood for the track right.
Some good lyrics on the mic by both rappers. One of those slow sentimental
message type of tracks. I'm feeling it overall, a nice change of pace to the
album.

12) "Why Me"
Back to another tight ass beat by Mac Pacino. I like the guitar work in the
background a lot. The flows are on point by both rappers. I like the hook a
lot too. They ask the question whey they have to be the ones going through
all the hardships and tough times in life. A coo track overall, I'm feeling
the production a lot.

13) "Woes & Vogues" ft. Rexshawn
More tight production and some more good guitar work in the background. The
flows come off tight as fuck and fit perfectly with the beat. Rexshawn comes
with a decent verse to finish the track, but I'm feeling Mac & A.K. a lot
more. This is a nice track to just kick back and go for a cruise around the
block to. I'm feeling overall.

14) "Way 2 Saucy" ft. Mac Mall
Some more good production by Mac Pacino with those clean guitars in the
background. The flows are on point and all three come tight on their verses.
Mr. Droop handles the hook with some nice background vocals. A tight ass
track overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

15) "Wassup Rogue" ft. Nevalegal
A decent beat by Mac Pacino for this track. The bass line is pretty hard
though. I'm liking this track more for the flows than the production.
Nevalegal comes tight on the mic as well. Some tight flows mixed with a good
beat make this a good track overall.

16) "U Just Don't Know" ft. Trigga Face
At first I wasn't feeling this track, but after a few listens it started to
grow on me. The production by Mac Pacino is on point and the flows are
tight. Trigga Face, Mac and A.K. come with tight verses. The hook is good
too. A tight track overall, wasn't feeling it at first, but after a few
listens I realized how good it was.

17) "Unda Pressure"
A decen beat by Mac Pacino, but he's come with better ones on this album.
The flows are pretty good except I'm not really feeling the hook with Mac N'
Tosh on the background vocals. I like the verses though. A better track for
the flows than the production.

18) "Money Rhymes"
The title track is solid. The production by Mac Pacino is good and sets a
nice laid back tone for the song. More good guitar work in the background. I
like the background vocals on the hook by Sam Joseph Jr. The verses are good
and the flows are on point. A nice finish to this tight album.

Overall this album blew me right away. I never picked it up when it came up
and now I know I was sleeping big time. Mac & A.K. come with a tight, tight,
tight ass album! The production by Mac Pacino is tight from start to finish,
I wasn't feeling on two beats on an 18 track album. The flows by both
rappers were on point the whole way through. The features were pretty good,
although I think there should have been one more big name person somewhere.
I liked the guitars throughout the album and the background vocals really
made some of the hook sound good. A tight ass album that you shoud run out
and get if you don't have a copy. Get it!

Overall Rating =5/5
