C-Bo returns like clockwork a year later to release another very solid album and his last on AWOL. Although it only has 10 songs and they all feature at least one other person, it is a great album (in his top 4 or 5 albums out of his 13+ solo one's). Has no songs that I'd skip and has a classic track as well. The production is great on this one, the only complaint is there ain't enough of Bo on here, but still I'd highly recommend it.

i love this cd, i would say this cd is the best from c-bo.

"The Final Chapter" is the follow up to C-Bo's album "Till My Casket Drops", which was a huge success for C-Bo and A.W.O.L. Records as well. Unfortunately (for AWOL Records) The Final Chapter is C-Bo's last album on the label. After that he moved on to bigger things, running his own (and successful) label West Coast Mafia Records and making some real money for a change. However, about "The Final Chapter" itself: this could be a HUGE album, on the same level of Till My Casket Drops! The production is bangin' on every single song, and C-Bo comes out with some much energy and anger. So what prevents it from being another classic? The answer is simple: C-Bo being in jail at the time, so he couldn't finish the work on the record. The result is this: on every single song, you get an awesome beat, C-Bo coming out with a trully heated verse, and after his verse - the rest of the song is handled by much inferior rappers, who usually drop mediocre verses. Not that they are so bad, it's just that they don't even come close to C-Bo's appearence on the song. So you start listening to the song, enjoying The Baldhead Nut's verse and the beat to the fullest, and after his verse is done, you just start to get a bit bored. The only guest appearences worth mentioning are done by Spice 1, AP-9 and Laroo. No Killa Tay, Marvaless, or Lunassic on the album. The one and only actual solo song in track 15, which wasn't on the original release anyway - it's a bonus track, and it sounds like it was recorded quite a few years later (it's not a surprise that it's the album's best song, since it's a C-Bo solo, over a great West Coast Mafia beat). So, it's hard for me to judge this album - the production is just perfect, and so is C-Bo's rapping. But you don't get enough of the man himself (since he was in prison at that time. Again...). A.W.O.L. had to work with what they had, and considering the curcumstances, they did a good job. I would recommend it to real C-Bo fans, but others might get dissapointed, since the lack of C-Bo hurts the album quite a bit at times.

BO-LOC IS ONE OF THE TIGHEST NI**A OUT RIGHT NOW BUT BO-LOC COULD HAVE CAME TIGHTER. IT SEEMS LIKE HE DIDN'T WANT TO EVEN FLOW CUZ IT'S HIS LAST RECORD WITH AWOL.

bo IS LIKE THE MAN ON THE WEST SIDE RIGHT NOW.SO I HOPE THE BIG HOMIE KEEP HIS HITS REAL.FOR THE 29TH G'Z FROM NEW ORLEANS.C-BO IS THE MAN CUZZ.HIT THEM UP 29TH TO WE DIE CUZZ.

This is a horrible album. I though C-Bo was good after hearing him on some of 2pac's stuff so I gave this a try. Its terrible. He has limited lyrical or flow ability, the production is terrible, and the album is just plain boring. I'm glad i bought it second hand fr $...
