3.0 out of 5 stars Tight Beats, Repetitive Lyrics {3 Stars}, July 1, 2006

This review is from: Apache (Audio CD)

This joint is more like a 2.5 star LP, but a lot of the production is on point. This particular album dropped during the peak of the Flava Unit's popularity ('93). While Apache wasn't one of the more notable rappers in the crew, he had one of their biggest hits with the classic "Gangsta Bi***." While that track was bangin', there really weren't many others on the level of that song to be found. The production definitely reeks of that early 90's boom bap -- and it should since Apache, A Tribe Called Quest, Large Professor, S.I.D., Diamond D., The 45 King, and a few others dropping tracks.

The flaws are easy to point on with this album. I quickly grew weary of him rapping in vivid detail about sex or going on and on about his dills. It becomes rather repetitive after a while. Not only that, I think he bites Treach's flow. Also, there are corny interludes and songs like "Blunted Snap Session", "Kill D'White People", and "Apache Ain't Sh**" that weigh the album down.

Apache Ain't Sh** isn't necessarily a wack album. The beats are definitely on point, but whether you love this album or not depends on whether or not you dig these kind of lyrics over and over. I don't. There are a few gems, but nothing on this album to warrant buying it brand new unless you're just nostalgic and want some old hip hop. Even if that is the case, you can find something better than this album. I'm not too sure if this holds up all that well after 16 years. I recommend checking this out if you can find it used.

Standout Tracks: A Fight, Do Fa Self, Get Ya Weight Up, Gangsta Bi*** (My Favorite), Hey Girl feat. Milo & Collie Weed, and Woodchuck feat. Latee, Cee, Double J, & Naughty By Nature

This review is from: Gangsta Bitch (Audio CD)

i bought this cd single in a used store on a lark. the music rocked so good that i spent 3 years hunting down the album. last i saw apache, he guest-starred on a queen latifah record. but his own disc is excellent, with that late 80's braggadocio and a phunky phat dj. good rhymes, good times. highly recommended. BTW, there are many objectionable lyrics and concepts, but hey, life is like that sometimes. not for children or holy rollers.

This review is from: Apache (Audio CD)

this is a intresting album, once you get a listen. it is a
classic of the hard core era. The Newark new jersy style is evident in apache's album. As a memeber of the flavor unit and NAUGHTY BY NATURE family he represents the hardcore and the real life
