I first heard this album in '98 and I thought it was nuts how these dudes can rap. Lurch and that crazy ass voice of his has me goin' into convulsions when I hear him rap. This trio made an album that far surpasses the norm, and their name is one that could go down in history as one of the weirdest, yet most effective names. All but Ric Rock are from Alabama, and have a nice southern type of flow, but western America style pattern. With Ric Rock's beats, and production, it is no wonder this album is off the chain. The best tracks, are
1. "Hoe Games"
2. "Betrayal"
3. "Butterscotch"
4. "Twizms"
and
5. "Family"
Anyway, buy this for yourself, it is worth it.

If you don't know the producer of this album is one of the manz behind Jay-Z's new cutz. "Ric Roc". Honestly I don't know how it's spelled, now seeing theirs a singer with that name. He's been underground for a while doing song for, and with RBL Posse.
That's where I first seen Big Lurch another artist from C.S.S.

Yo, the beat's are musical their isn't no racket here. Real people! Well rounded! The music is so deep I can't explain it just grabs my soul and my emotion's. Something you could blaze to and journey into another time and actually learn something from it. I feel like I'm sittin their with them, like my older brother's telling me their stories. GREAT STORY TELLERS. If I get signed to a label I'll definetily give them a call up.

I'M MAD, THEY DIDN"T GO PLATINUM. THAT"S HOW IT IS FOR THE REAL.

COSIMIC SLOP CONSIST OF:

DOONEY BABY (Who I've never heard of, got's me hooked on his
style and stories. It gave me more confidence in my
laid back style. His voice is an octave up from
Ric Roc.)

BIG LURCH (Who has a deep voice with tongue twisting words
that can't be replicated. Melodic style with
Realness and so much Character. Makes you wanna keep
rewinding.)

RIC ROC (The master of world wide beats, From E-40 to Jay-Z)
Who can top that? With the most educated spits I've
ever came across. A narrator with his flows combine
the best trio since the beginning of gangsta rap.
EXCITING REAL LIFE TALES YOU CAN
VISUALIZE LIKE OUTKAST.

(...) I'm MAD THIS ALBUM WENT OUT OF PRINT! I FINALLY FOUND IT.

AMAZON BABY!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Too bad Lurch is famous for his non rap related activities, January 26, 2006

This album is pretty good but Big Lurch's murder bust kinda overshadows the music. For those that don't know Lurch was convicted of killin a girl and eating her lung (the law found human flesh in his stomach). Its too bad cuz the boy had a uniqe voice and a good flow. The music on this album could be compared to an early goodie mob type vibe, something to chill and smoke to, check it out for yourself. Its too bad what happend, these boys had talent and deserved to blow up.
