Honestly this is a real good CD but it doesnt beat adrenaline rush. My favorite song on this cd is probably Front Porch. It's a perfect song to kick it wit you're homies and get high on the front porch. Listen to at and LOve It. CHI LOVE TO THE FULLEST. Also listen to smoke wit u and DREAMS wit ur girl.

... This is definitley not the same tired old gangsta routine. I believe that anyone who has an appreciation for music can agree that the production on this album is very tight and well assembled. And even if you may not like Twista and his speed-rapping sidekicks, the Speedknots, you have to admit (while their rhymes aren't the deepest out there) they all have talent and are very clever in their delivery. With all this said...how can you knock this album?? Just so you know...this is not a hip-hop album. This is a rap album. There is a difference, and a huge one. Intelligent hip-hop heads wouldn't even think twice to buy this album. If you consider yourself a hip-hop fan of any kind, you would have been turned away from this album simply due to the graphics on the cover (not to mention Twista's rep for being a known gangsta rapper). And just so everyone out there knows...the answer is yes. Real gangsters DO make music. Many of them rap or "MC" for all you real hip-hop fans. Many of them play sports...box...etc. If you think otherwise, you obviously haven't picked up a newspaper in your lifetime. Basically, music is not about genres. Music is supposed to be about life and your experiences in it. There will always be gangsters in this world, and some of them will want to make music. With this is mind...you should know that gangster music will never die. It is just like anything else. It has its own niche in society. If you are tired of it, them maybe you should join the force and contribute to our society. We need the help. I mean...even the East Coast is starting to be gangster now (Fabolous, Ja Rule, Jay Z even?!?). Hopefully you live closer to the Atlantic so you can put some of these people in jail where they need to be, and not partaking in the very same "genre" that all East Coasters used to diss as having no skills or substance. In conclusion...just do a little research before you go spending your money on an album that you will just end up wrongfully criticizing. I mean...its not like Twista ever USED to come deep and really make you scratch your head. He is what he has always been. Highly skilled, very clever and very entertaining.

I own this CD and I would have to say that it is one of the best CD's that I own. Twista really puts it down in this CD. He can flow fast and he raps about how he made his way to the top of the Chi-town game. He is definetly one of the best rappers to hit the hip-hop scene since 2Pac. You should definetly consider buying this CD.

Twista & the Speedknot Mobstaz has made an really clean alum. Only one or two tracks are not 100% clean. Those tracks are nr. 8 (party hoes), and 13 (dreams)... the soulpart on dreams really suckz, so that and the whole party hoes track brings the album down a bit. But it's still a 5 star album, not a strong 5 though! Some tips on songs: 2 (crook county), 11 (loyalty) are really good ones..................

Twista has always been one of my favorites and this cd shows just how good this underground legend and his crew really are. They can pull out great soft tracks and hardcore street thumping tracks. Twista is of course a speedy lyrical master in this one, people who don't appreciate this cd feel that way because they dont know what it is to have good rap, because theyre too caught up in what everyone else likes, "50 cent" and "laffy taffy",,,
Front Porch, Mobstabliity, Warm Embrace, Smoke Wit You, and Dreams are all 5/5 tracks
