Free Music Notes for Uncle Sam's Curse
Free Music Review: Skip Proof Material {5 Stars}
Hit: 5 Stars
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.

Free Music Review: Classic LA funk
Hit: 5 Stars
This is my favourite of ATL just a bit ahead of ''Black mafia life''. The production is classic and the rhymes are deep and real. Their flows are layed back and sound like they are lacking some aggression and energy, but it's their own thing, and what they rap about which is real. This album got played so much since I got it and I still play it sometimes, and it will definately be coming out again one day and be getting played hard again. I keep this safe because it's a favourite and brings back a lot of memories. I love the beats. If you like true westcoast you probably know them already because you know the good s#it, otherwise, get this right now with ''Black mafia life'' before they are rare and impossible to get. Peace!Free Music Review: The Definitive ATL Album

It can be truly said that this album never misses a beat. Uncle Sam's Curse has direction, soul, and spirit. This is Hutch and KMG at their finest. Totally underrated when talking about West Coast rap, this was ATL's capstone. There are only a handful of West Coast rap albums that are as solid as this: The Chronic, Doggy Style, Amerikkkas Most Wanted, and Straight Outta Compton are the only other albums I put at the same level as Uncle Sam's Curse. If you can only get one ATL album, this is it. Is it worth 75 dollars used? You bet.Free Music Review: UNCLE SAM'S CURSE
