Beats: Perfect. Gritty and weird, often conflicting styles "It loves Me" is thick and complex, while "Pipline" is thin and actually somewhat scary! Some beats are hyponotizing like "Moss Pink Coats", and others are deliberately jarring and grating, like "tounge sandwich taste good"

Rhymes: Juss has improved expotentially since his album with Company Flow, i especially enjoy his social commentary in "Plantation rhymes"

Overall: the best hiphop album of 2002, which i beleive is when it was "officially" realeased. If the album had generated any hype id tell you to beleive it.

Many Jus fans in the states have seen this CD in the import section of their favorite record store and may have figured it's just the import of his EP. Not true at all. There's more than what's on the EP, plus remixes and instrumentals not found on the domestic EP. Not only that, some of the songs have been re-recorded with new lyrics. For those not familiar, Bigg Jus is one third of the now defunct, Company Flow. Which in the end, turned out to be great for hip-hop now that all three member's have gone their own ways and have definitely fleshed out their styles. Jus is no exception with a style all his own and more production styles than numbers can count. The reality is that I'm a Co-Flow fan. There is no description for this CD other than it's not your radio friendly over-hyped, boring artist driving a chorus into your skull. If you are willing to take a chance on a different style of hip-hop that compares to none, buy Company Flow's FUNCRUSHER PLUS album. Start there and see if you want to continue down a road that no other hip-hop crew has been able to do through history. Create thought provoking, intelligent music that will continue to stand the tests of time. Bottom line, buy the album

ok. black mamba serums. incredible. bigg jus is off in his own worlds. everything is original about this album from the lyrics, flow, and beats. this album is the most slept on album in history. since it never officially got released until recently, there are so many hidden goods on here. I prefer this album to black mamba serums 2.0. This is on my top 5 albums ever recorded!

if you enjoy listening to garbage hip hop such as:

50 cent, Nelly, Lil'Jon, etc...

this album is not for you.

If you enjoy underground hip hop, then i recommend this. If you a fan of Company Flow, then you NEED to get this.

If you are looking for something different, pick this up, and just listen to the words, and nice productions.

peace!
