Almightly RSO are back..., September 23, 1999
This review is from: Classic Limited Edition (Audio CD)
Made Men used to go by "The Almighty RSO". During the late 80's RSO was ahead of their time with hardcore, unapologetic gang rap. Album covers featured RSO in fresh Adidas warm ups brandishing pistols. These boys made some noise years ago around 93-94 with "One in the Chamba", but because of explicit subject matter the management label (Tommy Boy) decided to suppress the single. Tommy Boy was better known for stuff like De La Soul and the UMCs. I tried to track down a copy for months to no avail when I was in college. When I saw the video I recognized them from the album cover and I picked it up. Very, Very strong. I can see why these guys have stayed on for so long. Recommended

Impressive, May 4, 2000
This review is from: Classic Limited Edition (Audio CD)
The Made Men's debut alblum is one of the better alblums to come out in 1999. It features some phenomenal cuts, as well as some forgetable ones. The highlight would have to be "Tommy's Theme" which features a stellar performance by The Lox. This joint packs an ill beat and some powerful lyrics, defenetly a hit. "Right Now" and "Blowin Circles In The Wind" are also two very strong offerings from this Boston trio, "Right Now" will get anyone at your party crunk, it's a shame none of these gems are on the radio. Unfortunatley, those are the only three tracks that are really good. Granted, there are some others that are hot, but they get old after a while. After a while, some of the songs start to sound alike and you get tired of listening. However, with three incredible joints and a host of other strong offerings, CLASSIC LIMITED EDITION features very little material that can be criticized. If you're going to come into the rap game, this is the way to do it.

This review is from: Classic Limited Edition (Audio CD)
I bought this cd expecting not too much, but I bought a classic. There is so many hot joints on this album and it will keep you happy forever, out of the 19 tracks, 17 are hot!! (You dont get that all the time) The song "Sticky Situation" with Montell Jordan is my favorite but there is sumthin for everyone on here! About time Made Men are finally gettin some credit they deserve, or at least from me. Buy It!!
