Collaborative album between Kool Keith and Tim Dog, entirely produced by KutMasta Kurt. For some reason, the record also manages to get praise: the rap is there, the rhythms are there, end. Tim Dog plays a minor guest role in this CD of Kool Keith, until a few months also known as Dr. Octagon, today named Ultra. The rhythms of KutMasta Kurt are sometimes decent, sometimes they are less decent, it's a boom bap that says little and leaves something to be desired. The lyrics are battle rap with some of Keith's sexual deviations, bars against wack rappers and arguments against the industry, with which they have had some tribulation in the past. To take a couple of banal examples, Tim Dog refused to look like NWA to get a deal and, at one point, with his group Kool Keith was at PolyGram, who decided not to promote the record. Composed by dozen tracks and three quarters of hour, this CD has a West Coast mood with g-funk rhythms, synths, funky samples and relaxed rap, nevertheless, it doesn't sound essential. 6/10.
