A let down...

First off...let me say that I have been a C-Bo fan since he pretty much got started working with Master P on West Coast Bad Boyz. I can't think of anyone who rips it up better than the ghetto cowboy...in his prime that is. I have no idea what he was thinking when he wrote the lyrics for this entire album. This isn't Bo. This is some watered down, slow paced, over-use of the word "dog"-ass garbage here. He TOTALLY changed up his style on this effort. The 2 stars I donated were for production reasons alone. If you know ANYthing about C-Bo...think back to when he ripped it up on Tales From the Crypt, 1 Life to Live, 'Till My Casket Drops. His rhymes on Mobfather sound like some weak-ass MTV battle where they let you curse and don't disqualify you. I'm all down for change. I mean, look at Lunasicc AKA Luni Coleone...night and day, right? But the new style is hyped and still on point. Bo just sounds here like he's trying to fit in to the "new" styles rap is heading to which are weak anyhow. I'm no hater...if it works for him, then get your money. But if you want vintage C-Bo at his best, then get the CD's I listed above, and don't think twice about wasting your money on Mobfather which is so different from what C-Bo is capable of...I'm starting to wonder if he even wrote the lyrics himself.

Real Gangsta S***

Now this is some true gangsta rap. C-Bo been holdin' it down for years. This CD is tight. When you hear the intro, it gets you geared up for the album. All of the songs are hardcore. They say Gangsta rap is dead, well I don't think so. Worth listening- "I Like Gangster S***", "If You Don't Know Me", "We Come From the Streets", "B**** "N***", & "So Fresh". C-Bo even takes a shot a Ja Rule on one of the tracks. Plus he is not a 50 Cent fan.

Have 2 give this 5 stars

This is a great album from the baldheaded nutt, Mobfather is the best album from C-bo since Blocc Movement with Brotha Lynch Hung.This is an album you can listen to all the way thru without having to press the skip button on your stereo..Every Track is a standout but if i had to name the top 5 i've give it 2. We Come From Tha Streetz, I Like Gangster Sh*t, Husslin', Know Where 2 Find Me And Dont Want It......Go Buy this album and stay tuned for blocc movement 2.....
