Let’s check out this underrated classic from Hoobangin Records.

In this episode of Legends we talk Hussein Fatal. 2Pac’s right hand man some would say. Maybe the most popular Outlaw of the crew. We talk his early days with Pac, the Hitem Up track that put him on the map, his time at Rap-A-Lot and then Murder Inc work.

The homie Dre40oz and I chop it up on the life and times of Hussein Fatal. May he rest in peace!

Bruce Edward Washington Jr. (April 3, 1973 – July 10, 2015)

Let’s take a listen to this record filled with classic songs.

In 2003 Ja Rule drops "Blood In My Eye" The ultimate response record. Going back to his gangsta rap roots, he brings in the little homies from Murder Inc and the Outlaw's Hussein Fatal! We get into the physci of Ja from every angle track to track and in the end grade the record.

This is a retrospect/review/physical.

In 2008 Tech N9Ne drops his double album called "Killer". With 32 tracks, this is a true double disc. How does it hold up in 2024? Let's dive in. I haven't heard this record in a long time so it's a revisit / reaction. 

Is it still dope in 2024? Is Tech too far out there? Let's dive in.

Benzino drops Arch Nemesis in 2005 while still feuding with Shady / Aftermath. This record was just recently made available on streaming platforms and I thought it would be a dope time to revisit this record. I'll give it the grade and talk about the good the bad and the ugly. Let me know what you think about this record in the comments. Does it deserve the hate it gets? Sound off!
