No Limit, by this time, had accomplished all it could in Hip-Hop. Maybe, that's the reason things went so much down south as 1999 came around. It started with a few bad tracks here and there, ten it turned into them abandoning their true thug style...s and doing crappy call and response tracks. This album became the culmination on No Limit's downslide. Their production team, Beats By The Pound, was left for dead and the result was an album with beats that were nowhere near their caliber (You noticed they left No Limit almost as soon as this album came out). All of No Limit's artist were rapping about party jams and Bling. They'd lost the magic that made them good which was gangsta rapwith gangst beats. The only one who stuck to that formula No Limit had been about was C-Murder. To this day, he's the only No Limit artist who made mucis worth a damn after 1999 (too bad about his current legal troubles). To sum it all up, this was an ok album, but very dissapointing. Looking back, this was the starting point to the sorry state No Limit is in today. If you ever have the urge to pick up any post Mid-1999 No LImit, stick to C-Murder 0r The only album done by The 504 Boys (It's at least listenable). Read more Less
