This is one of the best albums from Above The Law. The group is so heavily underrated that not many even know who they are anymore, but those that know who they are know that nothing coming out of the west compares to them -- they're in their own category. The album itself is full of gems that a lot of people were bangin' in their systems back in '94. Joints like "Kalifornia", "Uncle Sam's Curse", "Gangsta Madness", and "Black Superman" are classics in my mind. Almost every song features Kokane on the hook (he was on Ruthless records at the time and dropped the classic "Funk Upon A Rhyme" LP in '94, check that LP out too) and he brings even more flavor to already solid cuts like "Everything Will Be Alright", "Gangsta Madness", "Return Of The Real Sh**", "Who Ryde", and "Rain Be For Rain Bo". There's no need for the skip button when you're listening to this album.
As far as flaws, none come to mind. This is your typical west coast banger -- gangsta lyrics over laid back, funked out beats. You can't really ask for much more than that. As a matter of fact, if I could change anything about this album, I'd make it even longer (it clocks in at just over an hour long). Otherwise, you can pop this in and let it ride.
Uncle Sam's Curse is a classic joint from the left coast. If you want that classic ryder music, then go ahead and grab this. Most albums from '94 are dope anyway, and you know that Above The Law doesn't make bad music. I'm not sure if it's worth any more than $25 (it's definitely not worth the $75 bucks it's being listed for -- nationally distributed records never are), but it's still an excellent album. I recommend making this one a collection piece. You'll be glad you did.
