This is the first in a series of 5 Star Classic episodes! It's my honor to preset Kid Frost's "Smile Now Die Later" as my first 5 Star classic album. This record bumps from start to finish with no skips! A real Ruthless Records gem here. Beats by Tony G. and Julio G and Cold187um. Frost brings that Latino hood mentality and gives us the street report from a Hispanic point of view.

Get yo ears on this classic 5 Star Jewel!

How did this record fall through the cracks all these years? Even for me, a decent MC EIHT fan? 1996 was a hell of a year for gangsta rap, you know if you was there! So many records dropped, dope records that this one could have been missed. I take a listen to it for the first time, as recommended by you the viewers! Call it an assignment or whatever. How does this rank up with EIHT's other records? I give it a listen and give my take. Let me know what you think about this record in the comments. Is this a classic? Is it one of the greats?

Yo fuck Petey Pablo! That's what I was saying back in the day. Then something happened when he jumped ship to Death Row. Somehow he made one of the most gangsta albums ever in the history of Death Row. Petey created enough songs for several albums but I picked the 20 best from his time there.

Let's talk about the transformation, the era, the classic overlooked records from Petey Pablo on Death Row.

Let's revisit Death Row's 1994 classic soundtrack, "Murder Was The Case". I honestly haven't bumped this record in a couple decades. It's always talked about as a classic record. Is it? Yes it is. But how good was it? Let's listen and I'll give my take.
