Nothing to write home about...
Well, this album has two nice songs. They are not hot. They are just nice. "Where my homes" and "I'll take her" are the songs I am talking about. The rest are either bad or just remixes of the two abovementioned. Not worth buying! They should have just released a single.
Wack, wack, wack
The Where Are They Now award for 2002 would probably have to go to Ill and Al Scratch who scored big with "I'll Take Her" and "Where My Homiez" back in 1995. But then again, after that lackluster debut Creep Wit Me (and another follow-up years later), few people would care what happened to them.Creep Wit Me has to be one of the most unoriginal albums ever made. First off, every track is either a spinoff of a remix of one of the two aforementioned songs (see "I'll Take Her--Brian's Flow"). Also, Ill Al Scratch are by no means good rappers, as shown on "Ill's Solo", but Al Scratch is a tad better than Ill. See the first verse of "I'll Take Her" for a possibility of minor potential.
In fact, "I'll Take Her" is the reason why this album went from 0 stars to 1. A clever use of one of EPMD's lines from their "Jane" combined with Brian McKnight's vocal makes for a good chorus. But that's not enough to prevent this tape from keeping my window cracked open.
A MUST HAVE
This album is defenitely a must have. The lyrics are pretty repetetive and simple, but the flow really well with there beats. The album is not your typical east coast hip hop record but you can defenitely feel the east coast influence. It's uptempo style keeps you awake. Im sure many agree a lot of east coast rap is very gloomey but only because of its nature but at times it can be too dark and occasionally i like to hear something with a little more energy. Like everyone else i agree that Track#2 and Track#4 are the two best tracks on the c.d. Im happy with the album and I will continue to recommend it to whomever really knows what hip-hop is about. It isn't about comparing artists because then a lot of artist would be considered just "alright". Its about what makes a particular artist great and I think ILL Al Skratch have there style down.
Word up, BIGKAT, SF
What was i thinking when I brought this
Remember these guys! Where are they now. There are only two really good songs on this CD. Where My homies and i'll take her. (featuring Brian McKnight) Otherwise this CD is full of fake threats and even worse rappin by two east coast artists that are trying to sound west coast. The production for the most part is a lame attempt at trying to copy the G-funk sound pioneered by Dr. Dre. Like i mentioned there are only a couple of soings that aren't forgettable on the CD. Ill and Al scratch sound like second graders when they rap, but if you like the sound of east coast rap pretending to sound west coast you may like this. Sorry if I want g-funk i'll stick with the real west coast g-funk sound.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST OVERLOOKED, UNHEARD OF CLASSIC
THIS ALBUM IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES HIP HOP, JUST LISTEN TO IT ONCE AND YOU WILL LOVE IT, THEY ALSO MADE SOME DOPE VIDEOS FOR 3 SONGS ON THIS ALBUM, BUT YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER SEEN THEM
