While the mere idea of these guys continuing the group after leader Richie Rich went away for awhile on possession charges is cold, if not despicable... this album is a straight-up Oakland classic, as far as I'm concerned. D-Loc shows some solid growth here as an artist, effectively stepping into the spotlight and becoming the lead voice. While The Young Brotha Broski is not an amazing rapper, he holds his own well enough.

Might be easy for some to write off as "just another hip-hop record sampling NWA after Straight Outta Compton came out," but I love it.
