In 2001 gangsta rapper Blaze Ya Dead Homie returned with his second album and first LP on Psychopathic Records. And just like his debut self-titled EP, this continues the mix of horrorcore, hardcore gangsta rap and proves why Blaze is one of the most consistant members of the Psychopathic Records family.

Blaze Ya Dead Homie's rhymes here contain basically the same subject matter as his EP, gangsta rap with a mix of horrorcore. His flow, delivery and wordplay has improved since the EP as well. He even does a good job storytelling on a few tracks. But there's really not much to say about his raps, they're still gritty as ever.

The production on the other hand is WAY different than on his EP. The beats still have the gangsta vibes, but they're done in a different way. Mike P from the rock group Zug Izland produced the majority of the songs in which he gives some of them a hard hitting rock edge with the loud electric guitars and the heavy drums, which is something we didn't see on his EP. Overall I say Mike P did a great job with it. Other producers on this album are the legendary Mike E. Clark who drops in for a few tracks, and also Systasyrosis Soundsquad (Twiztid & Fritz The Cat) produce a handful of tracks. They all did their thing very well.

Here's my individual track-by-track ratings:

01. The Eulogy (ft. Jumpsteady) (N/A)
02. Grave Ain't No Place (ft. Anybody Killa & Monoxide Child) (A)
03. Casket (A+)
04. Juggalo Anthem (ft. Jamie Madrox) (A+)
05. Nasty (C+)
06. Str8 Outta Detroit (ft. Anybody Killa & Violent J) (A+) (favorite)
07. Maggot Face (A-)
08. Here I Am (ft. Twiztid) (A-)
09. Hood Ratz (ft. Anybody Killa) (A+)
10. Hatchet Luv (A+)
11. Saturday Afternoon (B)
12. Given Half The Chance (ft. Twiztid & Insane Clown Posse) (C+) (least favorite)
13. U Can't Hurt Me (B+)
14. Thug 4 Life (ft. Jamie Madrox) (A+)
15. Hatchet Execution (ft. Anybody Killa, Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid & Cynn) (A+)

So there it is. And I would also like to say that Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Anybody Killa are great when they are on a track together. Absolutely unstoppable. I recommend this album to all fans of Psychopathic Records, gangsta rap and horrorcore rap. This shouldn't disappoint the most hardcore listener. Gangsta raps, gangsta beats, gangsta album. Get this! Peace!

KEEP IT REAL... REAL WICKED NINJA

When I first heard Blaze's EP it had me wanting more and anticipating his full length. And Blaze didn't come short on his full length. Track after track it's packed with Psychopathic gangsta rhymes & phenomenal production. Only how Psychopathic can bring it. If you're a Juggalo you shouldn't even hesitate to pick this CD up. Twiztid, Insane Clown Posse, Anybody Killa all make thier mark on this album aswell. SOLID album! One of my favorites from the Psychopathic catalog. Next up... Colton Grundy.

Man I love this album. Great beats, good bass, dope lyrics, and now it's out of print! Fear not it will be rereleased within the year. Despite the fact that blaze has Jaime Madrox write his lyrics thats no gd reason to hate. This is one of the best things to ever come out of Psychopathic. Be sure to listen to the hidden skit at the end of the cd.

after blaze released his first album i didnt think much of him,then he realeased one less g in tha hood...i been down with tha clown since i was 12 and im 21 years old blazes raps in this cd are out of this world the beats are awesome the best song on here by far is juggalo anthem if you a juggalo pick this $hit up today

This is my favorite non-icp Psychopathic album of all time. Every single song off of this album just left me in pure amazement. The music changes so much. Each song has its own style. I highly reccommend everybody who has never heard Blaze to pick this cd up before buying the slightly disappointing Colton Grundy.

when I first got this cd and heard juggalo anthem I knew this was going to be a good cd. Every song on this cd bangs this by far was one of the best cd's to come from psychopathic...........

I'm a fan of Blaze, but I believe this cd just isn't his best effort. Almost all of the beats are rock influenced, which doesn't mesh with Blaze's style of rap. This cd does have it's bright spots, such as "Casket" and "Juggalo Anthem" but overall, it's only medicore. If you've never heard of Blaze before, I suggest picking up Colton Grundy Tha Undying, because it is much better. Blaze is suppossed to be re-releasing this album sometime in 2006, and I expect the new version to be an improvment over the original.

the grave aint no place for a psycho thug killer, neither is my cd player. This guy makes a gimmick of being gangster rap, but with thrashing guitars hes not fooling anybody. He's got nice flow but his voice is terrible, you can barely understand the guy, he sounds like hes rapping with a mouth full of food or something. Every track has a rock chorus taking away from the "gangsta" image. every single track either has Violent J or Madrox in it. which makes it even worst. with an exeption of 2 or 3 tracks, this cd is weak.

This cd is Blazes shining moment, and you cant stop my or his shine juggalos! i love this cd and its just the beginning, more to come from mine and yours dead homie. Beats are a masterpiece and i love the mixed of hardcore and gangsta rap. It is perfect and abk is a lyrical genious, blaze an abk are one of the many great dou's from the hatchet. MCL
