Golf's verdict: This is good gansta rap, but it does get a bit samey and is basically all about how he is going to die soon. Proved to be true in his case, sadly depriving us of a talent that had the potential to break out of the cycle of endless tracks about guns, 'hos and bling.
Maire's verdict: Started off liking the album but it's basically the same all the way through. Boring.

Golf's verdict: Chock full of cracking tunes, but not the 'all killer no filler' album it is often remembered as being. Let's face it, the only reason so many of us are forking out big $$$s this year to see them is so we can hear most of this. Roll on February.
Maire's verdict: Another album that reminds me of my sister. A favourite back in the day and still know pretty much all the lyrics. Fun
