Let me start off by saying that the bass in this album is extreme. Now that that's out of the way, this is one of the best albums of the summer. Like B Rich says in "Eighty (All I Need)", "Every track's so hot". Very true. He's not just all "Bling Bling" like you might think, he's actually very deep in some songs like in "Back to the Streets" where he talks about how rappers now days just talk about money, cars, guns, and women when most of them are just fake when the music stops. Get 80 Dimes at all costs.

B Rich's catchy voice on Whoa Now had me thinkin the rest of tha album would be party/family joints like the first single. However, this album is full of deeper songs than whoa now, but it still has a few high energy club-like cuts. All I can say is if you like B Rich on Whoa Now, cop the album... its more than worth your money.

B-Rich the fellow NE Baltimore native (as am I) delivers a solid album. A little different sounding rap album - it is fire, his lyrics are tight, the beat are different but good, and his delivery different but solid as well. Except for "Whoa Now" (Which sucks and I don't know how he sold off this single alone) and one other track the cd is great. A classic must have album for hip-hop fans, it won't disappoint.

Also if you can find any of the following get 'em-----
** Nature's Problem from West B-More (they aiight), (holler at me if you can get me "The Future" or "Code of the Streets" (gzoverlea6@aol.com)
** Comp (West B-More- he's tight and still a teen -when he drops - he on Def Jam),
** North East Kings (NE B-More - they aiight - if you see someone sellin' `em on the street),
** 5 Diggy (he aiight - if you see someone sellin' `em on the street),
** Chae Fontaine's "See What I See Episode 1" - it's the sh*t, and
** Tim Trees - (East B-More) "Dalton Vol. 1" & "Dalton Vol. 2" (they're tight)

THIS IS THE WORST CRAP I EVER HEARD!!!!!! WHY DID THE LABEL WASTE THEIR TIME AND MONEY? B - MORE NEEDS TO COME WITH IT!

I Gave it 3 stars because rich have a lot of growing to do
Whoa Now is a party track not like like other joins on the
albums are real hard.If u like Whoa Now Buy this album.

i was just writing to big up dukeyman i used to go to school with him and seen him come a long way. from playing the keyboard behind dutches to doing his thing now. i'm proud to see them rep b-more and just to say you got a whole line of b-more soldiers behind you. you really shined on back to the streets i think and i like the way rich repped that. keep that spark alive baby. one

This album is tight. he's puttin us on the map to the fullest. buy the album every song is tight

Yo i mean , he doing his thang Reppin maryland u know.. im a artist myself,Nemesis iz my group name , n we do hardcore rap , n club bangaz u know...n foe sho alwayz reppin maryland cuz tha streetz raise me.... n it takes a while to get out there... i havent heard the whole album myself , but heard that one hit he came out wit on a video. but yeh i would love to work wit him on trackz to see where his mind iz at......

Everytime "Whoa Now" comes on, I flip the channel. B Rich is a disgrace to hip-hop. I hope he won't be around for a while. Look at the album cover, that's the worst I've seen. Pack yo bags and B Poor.
