wasn't as good as I had expected it to be but still good!

The Geto Boys' status was legendary even after a couple of albums ("Geto Boys" and "We Can't Be Stopped"). But arround 92 Willie D left the group, and J Prince replaced him with Big Mike. The new formed crew released "Till Death Do Us Part" in 1993, and it was a GREAT album (and a classic), but it still wasn't the same! Big Mike is a top notch rapper, both lyrically and with his flows, but it seemed to me, that he just doesn't fit the group. Geto Boys were all about being extremely hardcore, provocative and loud. While Big Mike was defintetly hardcore, his delivery was a bit more laid back and cool, and so much different that Willie D's agressive screaming... Anyway, in 1996 Willie D was back, and the Geto Boys released a new album. In many ways this album was different that the previous albums. Musically, the sound is crystal clear, with an obvious West Coast influence (actully it sound different that other Rap A Lot albums musically, I think they were experimenting on this one and after that album, the label went back to their dirty south style). There was a change in the group's approach as well. While the album has it's few hardcore and violent songs, it's much more laid back that the other ones. The group deals with a lot of social issues, all over the album, while it remains gangsta and gutter. Scarface has always been a legend and on this album it's no diffrerent. Bushwick Bill is still his own crazy-ass self, and his social consciousness is high. And Willie D came back better than ever - he still remained raw and loud, but I think he's improved in many ways. Geto Boys, unlike most gangsta groups, are very inteligent, and they have no problem talking about what's going on in the streets (and the world as well) while still holding to their guns and blasting anyone who tries to f#$% with them. This album is an all time classic, and a must-have to any rap fan.

This has to be the best Geto boys album, and everything relaesed by scarface. The album actually realizes social injustise across the world and not only in America. The whole tone of the album is like a huge battlecry to end sufferage for everyone in the world, and end the tyrany of police and high government.Not only this but the album has absolutely no weak spots from beginning to end. The flow never ends and youll find your kneck sore from bobbing your head so much at the end. It's simply unbstopable.

One of the rawest most consciuos albums gangsta rap has to offer. Geto Boys has always been raw but this time they cut to the bone and force u to feel it in the gut. If u dont feel this then gangsta rap is definetly not your niche. This is super tight. The only, and i mean ONLY weak track here is by far bushwicks solo "I just wanna die" kut. Many feel he brought more to the group but i always felt he was the weak link. He was always crying about something. Hes a gimmick. He does have some very good verses on this album, I only refer to his character in general. With the exception of "I just wanna die" he contributes grandly to the album. The real surprise this time was Willie D. He was well known for providing lackluster, even horrible performances both solo and as a Geto Boy, but this time he managed an astronomical improvement lyrically. Willie D has always been gutter but he never managed to successfully convey this through his lyrics, until now. He has a new approach it seems to rap and it works. This cat is on fire! He spits wisdom with a rawness that rivals Scarface. And Face as usual is Untouchable. A classic in the gansta genre!! UNF***INGBELIEVABLE!!!!!

The resurrection of the original members...Scarface, Bushwick Bill, and Willie D. If u are going to make a comeback this is how u do it. this album has some real strong subject matters.
It deals with racism, mental illness, oppression, hood politics, and great story telling. The beats are so tight and co sign's all the lyrics almost perfectly.

But i must stress the lyrics...this has to be the most lyrical the geto boys have ever been together. u can feel the words to the bone and without question about what they mean. Key songs are: POINT OF NO RETURN, WORLD IS A GHETTO, LIGHT OF THE DAY, GHETTO BOYS AND GIRLS, AND GETO FANASTY. just hearing those songs will make u buy the album and wait until u hear the rest.

Plus they got Larry Hoover on it speaking from prison...now how gangsta is that. How many of these so called rap gangstas can get Hoover to speak on their album???? None...REAL RECOGNIZE REAL (and you are looking familair)!!! Hotep....
