This album is probably one of the most overlooked albums this year. When I bought this album, I bought it just because I thought the "Shut 'Em Down Remix" was one of the best songs of the year. Big Punisher and Noreaga are amazing on this song and Onyx is as crazy as ever. There is only four skits on the album, but the good thing is Onyx always has the best skits usually kicking the crap out of people. On one of the skits Onyx say that their second album was an experiment. The regular version of "Shut 'Em Down" which puts Onyx with the crazy DMX, this song is great as always when DMX is on a song. "The Worst" with Method Man, Raekwon, Killer Sin and X-1 is really cool, the best part is when Method Man and Sticky Fingaz rip shit up on the last verse. Rob And Vic is a crazy adventure between two brothers fighting over money. Another impressive song is Veronica where Onyx has trouble with a woman who screws them over. Other really cool songs include "Raze It Up", "Broke Willies" and "React". Only a couple of songs fall in the not too good section, like "Black Dust" and "Ghetto Starz" with the Lost Boyz.
