Review by: Cranky
1. This Is a Test - A little skit about optimal speaker positioning and performance. No Rating
2. Intro - Tight ass beat by Beezie 2K, and Skunt rips the shit out of it with fuckin' sick punchlines. Shit's knockin' like fuck and "That's just the intro".....9/10
3. All I Got featuring Wanz - Super sick funky beat by Sic Cell. Skuntdunanna's delivery and vocal content are superb on this one. Great punchlines once again. Wanz is fuckin' sick on the chorus, just as you'd expect from him. Great track. "Flow like fallopian, tubes, look at you, you blendin' in with the square, straight, narrow dudes".....10/10
4. See What I'm Sayin' - Knockin' ass beat by Mr. D-sane. Great lyrics by Skunt. The hook is kind of boring, but the song overall is tight as fuck. "See you want me to explain my flow? Ok, well imagine if I swallowed two 9's whole, and for some crazy odd reason the triggers blow".......8.5/10
5. I've Been Solo - The beat by Skunt aka Mafia on this track is fuckin' amazing. This is one of the tightest songs on the album. Great punchlines and lyrics. The chorus is sort of taken from Snoop's "What's My Name". I bump this cut a lot. "The closest you came to gettin' some head.....is flippin' a coin".......9.5/10
6. Rap Right Commercial - funny ass skit. I laughed my ass off the first time I heard it. No Rating
7. Skuntdunanna featuring Kevin B - By far my favorite song on the album. This is pure fuckin' classic material. The beat by Mafia, the lyrics, the delivery, and the hook are all sick as fuck. The first time I listened to the album, I ended up puttin' this cut on loop over and over....."Skuntdunannanna"......10/10
8. Soundproof featuring Silver Shadow D - Really not feeling this song. Skunt still spits nice lyrics, but the beat and chorus just aren't my style. The reggae feel to the chorus didn't work very well in my opinion. "Young cats swearin' up and down they hard, you shouldn't be tryin' to claim my hood, just claim your front yard"......5/10
9. Crazy Life Pt. 2 - This is a great song that basically takes you on a journey through Skunt's career, and all his struggles to get where he is. I like the beat by R.C. a lot, and Skunt spits straight real shit. "I wanted to be in the studio, badder than ever, but my chippers is hella short, seems like I can't get along with my cheddar"......9.5/10
10. I Can't Forget featuring Twin-G, A-Train & Kevin B - Not really feelin' the beat by R.C on this cut, and I'm not really feelin' the chorus by Kevin B either. The lyrics throughout by Skunt, Twin-G and A-Train are tight. "How can I forget when all I think about's the Southend, dope fiend parents, wellfare checks, and project housin'"......6/10
11. What Went Wrong? featuring 151 - Tight beat by Mo Betta and tight lyrics by Skunt and 151. I'm not really feelin' the hook on this one. I think it's sampled, but I don't know what it's from. Still a real nice cut. "Now ain't no turnin' back, and I "X"ed you off the track, cuz you're faker than a unicorn, and I can't relate to that".......7/10
12. Strive 4 the Best featuring Laroo & Cozmo - I love the beat by R.C. on this cut. Just a real cool laid back feelin' song. Laroo, Cozmo, and Skunt come tight, although the hook isn't that great. "You know that's nonsense, you couldn't see me if my hands were tied and I was already unconscious"..... 7.5/10
13. It Ain't Hard 2 See featuring Kevin B - The beat by R.C. is alright and Kevin B's singin' is decent. This isn't one of my favorite songs on the album. Skunt spits some decent shit, but the song is mostly singing by Kevin B. "Let's stay together, hang on, my love lasts forever like a song, hit that ass like a bong"......6.5/10
14. My Life Consists of - Skunt drops some shit about what his life's about. He laces some tight lyrics, but the beat by Bean One isn't really my style, and the hook is kind of weak in my opinion. I'm just not really feelin' this song that much. "Why is hiphop such a hassle? They're pickin' me out like raffles, I never claim to be hard, you got me confused with the road I travel"......6.5/10
15. Shake It featuring Byrdie & Keek - This song bangs with a club, chillin' feel to it. D-sane drops a funky beat and Skunt, Byrdie, and Keek drop some tight shit. Byrdie always sounds tight on tracks with this type of feel. Good song. "I said baby I'm hotter than matches and jet fuel"......8.5/10
16. 2 People - I'm feelin' this song. Skunt laces some good lyrics and punchlines over a FUNKY ass beat by D-sane. Skunt flows tight and the singing on the hook is tight. Definitely an original feel to this song, and it came out nicely. "Niggas is actin' like they really livin' it up in the S-E-A, couldn't spell out the word realism, if I printed it out half way".......9/10
17. Rejection Hotline - This skit is pretty funny. I think the Rap Right one was better, but it's still a quality skit for atleast a listen or two. No Rating
18. Tonight - I'm hella feelin' this song. The beat by Mafia and D-Sane is bangin' like fuck. Skunt spits some great lyrics about the night life. Skunt's unorthodox flow is sick on this one. "Like a padlock to a mailbox, you can't see my mail"......8.5/10
19. Shit Yeah - This song is sick as fuck. A darker feel to the flows, and a knockin' beat by Mafia and D-sane. I love how the beat builds up towards the chorus. "Do you hustle? Shit Yeah, put a dollar at the other side of town, watch me get there"......9/10
20. The Streetz Iz Enough featuring Frame - Great song to end the album. Skunt spits tight about strugglin', and how the streets can be too much to handle. Frame comes hella tight. I don't think I had ever heard him before, and he dropped a sick verse. The beat by High Powered Ent. is sick and it fits the mood of the song nicely. "I just might go Loco out here, but it's So Cold out here, killas will put one in your chest, and suckaz steadily runnin' like tears"......9.5/10
Overall this is one of the most original albums I've ever listened to. This album has something for everyone. I think that some of the songs I may not have felt will be someone else's favorite tracks, because in my opinion that's just how Skunt's music is. Some people may not feel his flows at all, but his lyrics and punchlines are unbelievable. I find myself constantly rewinding parts of songs sayin' "He didn't just say that". The beats and song topics are very diverse, which is certainly a good thing especially in these days of bullshit music. I think this is a very solid album, but it's an album and an artist that takes some time to get used to. I would highly recommend coppin' it and soakin' it.......
Overall Rating: 8.2/10
