One of my all-time favorite westcoast LPs (top5)!!! I luv the whole "crip-hop" era!!! Lyrics,beats,flava,all was perfect!!! Above all- Tray Deee is one of the dopest MCs!!! Luv this album till i die!!! Greetings from germany! LBC 4 Life!!!
S/O to The Eastsidaz, I said all the time Tray Dee was the hardest one, fav songs was LBC Thang, G'd Up, Be Thankful, Got Beef and Another Day #classic
I have been a fan of Tray D since I heard 21 Jumpstreet off the Murder Was the Case soundtrack. When he said “No snitches allowed, beside the crowd…”, I knew he was serious business. Then I heard him on features like Out The Moon off Gridlocked soundtrack, and then my favourite verse of him was “OG Wake Up” off The Doggfather. His 2nd verse was monumental: “I break fools off like leprosy/ If they dare, you stare when they next to me/ I'mma threat / to whoever sweat my style Hard gangsta aim to represent 'til death/ Reality, you battle me you be in the dirt quick/ I'm clever with whatever type of weapon I work with/ The bare hand man sleeper/ I even banked up and shank motherfuckers in the peeper/“ What a lyricist. Then when this Eastsidaz album dropped in 2000, I played it till my CD melted. My favorite jam off the album is “Ghetto”. When Tray D cited Rakim as an influence I can see it. Tray is fantastic with the double entredes and rhyme schemes
That first Eastsidaz album is a CLASSIC i still bang that album front to back. Production and lyrics hit on all fronts and im from Chicago and i was telling all my guys hey this is the business. So glad you did a video for this album.
Pls do the following albums next: Warren G - Regulate the G funk era Snoop - Tha Doggfather Ice Cube - Death Certificate NWA - Efil4zaggin Nas - It Was Written Tupac - All Eyez on Me
