Yeah! Right after Ive bought the cd, I immediately opened it up & slip it to my cd player & started playin it. The Intro was really gettin me excited cuz of the beat & shit but when the first song began, it got bangin but after that first track, I was getting a bad feeling that Mastamind is not gonna be on this album except for only the N of tha world track & thats it. Alot of tracks were tight though! I especially liked Nightmares, Pancakes & Syrup; hes diggin that screwed up beat, I thought that was good, On my own was tight, then a couple of others were good too. Alot more guitar riffs this time like
www.com, though it got a lil disappointing when they just ended with "why u gotta lie" like that, that was the only one track that was kinda disappointing & they shouldve added at least two or three more dope tracks to just continue on from there. ...and that they also dissed the fuck outta Mastamind! I was surprised about this & his almost entire abscence on this new Natas... Yeah! It took a long time for another Natas album to get into the making til Mastamind ditched them for good while they continued working on it... Theres alot of hype & other shit going around about the Mastamind situation, that him & E are sparking a tremendous beef now! Other than that, there you have it, a new & long-time anticipated Natas but, without Mastamind... However, overall, its a good album but its entirely different without Mastamind presence on this album though TNT has taken the part of layin down more verses and better lyrics then the their previous records. The good part about it was the production is on point on all the tracks well, maybe except the last track... Overall, its a worth buy for all dedicated Esham/Natas fans alike... But the poorest saddest reaction about it is that this maybe the last official Natas album and chances are very likely that they would never record another group record ever again... Sorry about addressing it this way... I am a dedicated Esham/Natas/RLP fan myself & Im more than grateful that they could actually record another one, just for the sake of their fans! But the fact is that their personal differances between E & Mastamind wasnt able to be repaired the way they should so instead they end up splitting, again, & thats what ruined their continued legacy, even with this new album...
Theyre the reason I started becoming an enthusiast at alotta underground music & I wanted so bad to even see them in concert. Most important of all I really missed the old classic RLP era especially
WWW.com, they even did a great fuckin job creating & putting it together this all time classic album, & when Godlike came out, I was at a lil disappointed that it didnt live up to my expectations just like
www.com but still after bumpin that a couple more times I was feelin it a lil more and that was another well-created Natas record thats as close as
www.com also cuz I loved the type of sound theyre expirimenting with like its a whole new type of wicket acid rap sound, a Neo-Natas sound. Nevertheless time flies way quicker than you think, & when the time has come, they need to continue to make decisions for the rest of their lives, though the wicket shit they crafted will still live on within the written history of hip-hop... ...and best wishes to Mastamind, I hope he drops another good record & finally gets what he deserves... ...& finally, finally, finally; TNTs very first solo album is coming out for good...
TNT: Suicide Bomber
COMING OUT THIS SUMMER!!!!!!
Hope his first record is as good as Mastamind's Themindzi......
Im already havin high hopes for it for reeeeeel......
