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

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 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

I remember watching the video for 'gangsta bitch' in 93 and I was like ''hahaha, this is a mad track'', and knew I had to buy the album. He was down with naughty by nature too. And his album was mad, he had some nice rhymes and his flow was tight. The album makes you laugh when you hear some of the sh#t he says. The tracks are nicely produced and have a naughty by nature sound to them. He also got it some sh#t with queen latifah which was funny as hell, and she made a reply track because she couldn't handle what he said. But anyway, if you are after some real hip hop, get this. Later!
