bump this thread. peace 2 rey for dropping the knowledge last year

been making my way through some of the back catalog last week. besides what's been mentioned here.. 'conceptz & contradictionz' has some really great songs
i have to say the 'street album' was a little bit of a disappointment. wax's laidback "serious" joints > any attempts at recording over "bangers"

i'm a wax fan, he got a lot better when he slowed his style down after his first 2 albums.

He has developed into a great enduring artist, mature and considered but hard and street smart.

unconditional thug is his best joint imo, some of his beats don't quite match the quality of his flows is my only criticism.

his cds are hard to find here in LA don't know about anywhere else.

I felt the same way about it. "Bum Hum" is my favorite track off the album, but overall I expected more out of him.
"I just lick my lips on some LL shit, then I make 'em laugh on some David Chappelle shit. And they be on some, "let's go to the hotel" shit. I give 'em hard dick on some just got out of jail shit. The innocent man, been in the can, but I never made a statement, never been in the stand. And I'm independent now, but that been in the plans, cuz it's all about the Benjamins, man."- Cassidy

it's hard to rate dude's catalog.. cause like a bunch of these other dumb greedy bay rappers, he'd rather release 3 inconsistent cds with repeated songs than work on 1 solid album.

discs with the most dope songs on them imo:
- 'Jr. High 2 The Pen Volume 2'
- 'Savage Timez' (2005 2CD Re-Release w/ 65 G'z)
- 'Thug Deluxe'

i agree 'Unconditional Thug' has great beats.. but an entire cd with Smigg Dirtee leaves a bad taste in my mouth. i would've liked it as a single disc

On street album, its interesting that he has pushed his laid back style to the low voice singing along hook thing, it works for him and the its clear he is trying to widen his audience, i wasn't altogether sold on the hyped beats though

Wax's lyrics and flows make him really listenable, If I saw it out I'd probably cop the cd to jam it in the whip just for that reason (If I ever saw his cds in stores).

Really glad to hear a new Lynch verse

Yea but the Smigg disc is the whole of disc 2, to me its like a bonus collabo cd with the Unconditional Thug disc, thats how I always saw it. Every track on disc 1 bangs, its mastered pretty good and Wax is perfectly poised, dope ass lyrics.

yeah, it's dope. I've been bumping it for a few days in the whip now. Only track I'm not really a fan of is Rip and a Ru, and that's mostly because of the beat. Where's that pic from?
