Free Music Review: Fifth Straight Classic By The East Bay Loc
Hit: 5 Stars
Late 1997, Spice 1 delivers us with his 5th album, and his 5th classic in a row. Intact is his awesome wordplay and thuggish ruggish maniacal flow over great beats. This album rates high in his discog. Producers include Ant Banks, Paris, Clint "Payback" Sands, Hen Gee, Ali Malek, Rick Rock, Mike Mosley, and Femi Ojetunde, and the beats are a mix of syrupy and melodic G-Funk and mobb music. Lyrically, he has a neat array of thug joints and a few deeper songs. "The Thug In Me" is a nice dedication to late homie, 2Pac (RIP)over a melodic sample and whiny synth. Spice fires the cheeba on "I'm High" over a heavier, more mobbish beat. Spice 1 calls up WC and Big Syke from LA to kick some game about cali, the bay to LA anthem, 510, 213, named after major bay and LA area codes. Spice 1 flosses a little, but still keeps it hard on "Diamonds." The beat is different, bass heavy, but softer on the foreground beat with a faint whiny synth. "The Boss Mobsta" reminds me of 1995's "Mind Of A Sick N---a," partly because the beat pattern is similar, a Whodini "Friends" Sample, and the lyrics and Spice's flow are crazy like in the 1995 joint. Ant Banks' beats on the banger street joints "Recognize Game" (f/ Too Short, Ice-T), and "Fetty Chico And The Mack" (f/Mack 10) are among the best on the album. "Down Payment On Heaven" is awesome lyrically and musically too! The beat has neat soulful samples to give it a laidback, melodic, and deep feel. Spice 1 contemplates on life, death, and the things he has done, does, and may do. The drama in the hood and senseless killings that take place there are emphasized in a intellectual fashion. "2 Hands And A Razorblade" is another maniacal Spice 1 joint about life in the county jails of Cali. The beat has a whiny riff reminiscent of Snoop Dogg's Murder Was The Case, but the beat is some slick G-Funk that is subtle but with hardcore overtures. There is so much to like about this album. Spice 1 ruled the 1990's, and this classic is a testament to that.
