| A phenomenal album, in which, legendary Juice Crew member Masta Ace reinvents himself and "Born To Roll" is created! Masta Ace was so enamored by the fact that people really embraced The Slaughtahouse album with its West Coast inspired beats and that people had looked past the concept that Ace was actually kind of attacking a lot of early 90's gangsta rap and in the West in particular. So, he decided to roll with it, and with this newfound accidental fame that associated him with the West, he and the I.N.C.(vocalist Leschea and emcee Lord Digga) made a whole album full of bangin' summertime West Coast ride music, that built upon the mainstream's acceptance of the West Coast gangsta rap boom thanks to people like Tupac, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre and plenty of others that followed with much success. And this time they were serious about it and just had fun with it and pulled it off very well, creating another underground hit for Delicious Vinyl but by today's standards it was and remains his best selling album to date! He still had a lot of listeners fooled that he was actually from Brooklyn because it was just unheard of at the time to play to both sides it seemed. This is a hip hop classic that everyone should own and it's so nice to see it back on vinyl! | |
