Free Music Review: Mack 10's Recipe For An Average Album (Rating: 5 out of 10- -2.5 stars)
Hit: 2 Stars
Mack 10's third album "The Recipe" is nothing special for this reviewer. On this album I find Mack 10's gangsta style lyrics to become repetitive and brings nothing new with this album, not to mention a guest appearance on almost every track. A lot of this album has a lot of skip that flows throughout. The first song that stood out was "Money Just A Touch Away" featuring Gerald Levart (R.I.P.), as he rhymes about him comming up in the rap game. Another dope track would be "Ghetto Horror Show" with Ice Cube and Jayo Felony. Mack 10 teams up with Snoop Dogg over an old school beat for the song "Long Beach & Inglewood". Mack 10 teams up with a lot of guests. Many East Coast and Down South, as well as some West Coast rappers who hit (Big Pun, Buckshot Shorty, ODB, MC Eiht), and some who miss (Jermaine Dupri, Foxy Brown, Master P, CJ Mac (sorry I can't stand him)). That can really cause an imbalance on the album and have some filler tracks like "Made ******" and "You Ain't Seen ****". Mack 10 closes the album with him addressing the critics on "The Letter", followed by a rock sounding track "Should I Stay, Or Should I Go" featuring Korn and Ice Cube. I enjoy Mack 10, but personally believe that he lacks charisma of carring an album by himself, and find it better when he is either rhyming in a group (Westside Connection), or being a guest on someone else's album (which might explain the high amount of tracks that feature guests). This album has your average dated topics and common material that might have sounded good back in 1998, but years later is dated. There are a few tracks here and there, but not enough to keep the album togeher. I find that this album is more suited for east coast listeners than it is for west. I understand the unity that was going on back then due to the circumstances of recent events, but this album pulls too far from it's west coast sound that makes the music sound the way it should. Unless you're a hardcore fan of Mack 10, I recommend that you find this album at a used price. Peace.

Recipe Poster
Cooking up all sorts of gangsta grooves and other rap goodies, Mack 10 offers up The Recipe. Without taking this food metaphor too far, The Recipe is rather like a buffet--Mack 10 works with different artists and producers on practically every song and, as a result, the quality can be uneven. Musically, there are few surprises on the album, though Mack 10's gangsta-izing of the familiar "Heartbeat" sample for his duet with Snoop Dogg on "LBC and the ING" is flavorful enough, as is the sugar-sweet pop of "You Ain't Seen Nothin'" (which features Jermaine Dupri and Foxy Brown). Despite cameos by Big Pun and Fat Joe, this is still an album made for those yelling, "Westside till I die!" The Recipe neither embarrasses nor elevates the reality-rap world. --Oliver WangRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
