...consequences of a crew with one single (in this case, the title track) putting out a whole album: an hour of mediocre flow about tittie chasing, pistol whipping and dope dealing, something the brothers apparently know quite a bit about. Currently under federal indictment for conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine, the Garcia boys can count on more credibility for the thuggishness of their lyrics, even if Juvenile, Mystikal and maybe most of southern rap do it better...
...City of Angels and the Hasty Pudding musical (he stole the show playing a man, no less!), he finds himself in the director's chair, helming a play driven by its actor interpretation.

They were expressions of an industry scrambling for survival, like their amoral heroes for sale, and doing it in a style--raffish, dynamic, truly adult--that we've hardly seen since...
