Let’s take a trip back in time and revisit 3 C-Murder Albums, from the year 1998-2000. Back in the day, I didn't give these a fair shot. So let's run it back in 2024! We got dope producers like LT Hutton in the house and the No Limit camp here. So which is the best and how do these hold up today? Let's check them out.

Yo we on a No Limit kick this week, starting off with a reaction episode of TRU's "Tru 2 Da Game" album that dropped in 1997. Let's see what these cats brought to the table back in the day. I thought it would be dope to see how C-Murder did on this project before the Trilogy episode dropping next where I review his 3 records from 1998-2000. Let me know what you think about this record in the comments.

Is it a classic? Let's check it out.

In 1996 MC Ren dropped the best record of his career. The Villain In Black. With most of the production overssen by Cold187um and more work from Big Jess and other Ruthless producers (Dr. Jam & Madness 4 Real). It was a classic. In this video, I open up the CD (my og disc) scan it, look at every inch. I go through every track and talk about the producers and the song. This is full revisit of MC REN’s classic record (The Villain In Black) Enjoy. Ruthless For Life.

So Hit Boy's dad raps? Seriously? Seriously he can't be good. Can he? Here’s the crazy thing, he’s fucking awesome! This record has everything you need. Dope ass beats. A fresh voice in the game and the consistent veteran like “The Game” to help make this a real solid record.

Let's revisit Mack 10's 2nd record (Based on a True Story). This record is a 9.5 outta 10 no doubt. No skips here and even the skits are interesting. Did you bump this record back in the day? Let's dive in revisit this dope record from 1997. Mack 10 has kind of been forgotten since his fallout with Ice Cube. That's too bad no doubt. But take nothing away from Dedrick D'Mon Rolison. He's dope AF on this record and a legend on the West Coast. You could say he carried the West on his back while it was dying in the late 90's. Let's check out this record though!

30 Years later and Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle remains a true classic. The record is a clean listen from start to finish. How do we look at this record 30 years later knowing what we know now? Snoop Dogg, Death Row Records and label mates (Lady of Rage, Daz, Kurupt, RBX & Warren G) changed gangsta rap forever.

To me, it's one of the best records ever made. Maybe the best? Let me know what you think in the comments!
