...tracks feature better-known artists like Soultre, Mack 10, Juvenile and BG. Unfortunately, there is little that any of them can do to help the Chilldrin's situation. While C.O.G. has the lingo and feel of urban America, there is little beneath the surface. The album is a blur of repetitive basslines that bleed from one track to the next; the rhymes are lousy, and the braggadocio and self-references that make contemporary rap such flamboyant entertaining falls flat here.

Those days at the Hamburg hotel, those nights watching television with Frankel hunched over an astrological chart or reading the Mirror or the Sun--he loved the British tabloids--began to blur, Allison says. They slept a lot and speculated about when Frankel would be caught. He was not apologetic. He had only wanted to have some fun, he told Allison, to live the American Dream.

Sounds and colors of the sirens and streetlights are stretched out to a wail and a blur, and anguish tugs on every line of Cage's face. Many key scenes are cramped into the driver's seat and bloody siren lights stain the medics' faces. This gristly and sometimes hallucinatory style is not for every viewer's consumption. Sensory overload coupled with the constant despair theme...
