Genesis of Christian Gangsta Rap!, June 28, 2000
This review is from: Gang Affiliated (Audio CD)
Four guys from South Central who were formerly gang members and share about their experiences after finding Christ. These tracks bump SO hard! its an older album but it can still hang in the 2G. Mr. Solo's lyrical prowess and depth of content adds to the west coast feel of this album. If you are looking for true hip hop that has a Christian content, and doesn't sound like a bunch of choir boys, then this is the album! I've had the album for 6 years and i still bump it! If you enjoy the sounds of Ice Cube, N.W.A. or any early 90's LA Rap, you'll LOVE this! Listen to it over and over and you too will be both blessed and challenged to take a BOLD stand for Christ! (this album would make a great gift for a newly saved person who is leaving the gang lifestyle). DOUBLE G's fo life!

To Holy Hip Hop As The Chronic Was To Secular Hip Hop, January 11, 2005
This review is from: Gang Affiliated (Audio CD)
What can I say? This masterpiece came about in the early-mid 90's when the West Coast had hip hop locked down, Dr. Dre had shook the world from the foundation up with the Chronic, and everybody was bumpin' Ice Cube, MC Eiht, Spice 1, South Central Cartel & the like. For holy hip hop,however, with the exception of T-Bone, there were no other artists comin' thru with that raw,uncut Scrillafornia flavor until these 3 brothaz, the GG'z, came thru with Gang Affiliated. This was put together back in the days when the GG'z were clicked with DJ Dove from SFC, the production was tight, the lyrics were bangin', and again i say, Gang Affiliated was to holy hip hop in the 90's what Dr. Dre's Chronic was to secular hip hop. As far as the negative posts are concerned:(1) Jesus is STILL the Way and (2)Aint nothin' like the ole school. The fact that modern hip hop disregards the old school eras is one of many reasons why it's deteriorating(materialism,drugs,illicit sex,etc). Most of all...this album dropped at a critical time in my life and played a major part in my making a piritual turnaround.

Wowsers!, October 10, 2002
This review is from: Gang Affiliated (Audio CD)
I'm just a white kid from Wisconsin, but even I could tell these beats are phat! (Is that how you say it?) All I know is, I sit around and listen to this album every Friday night...sure beats shooting rats in the barn! Anyhow, buy it. Peace out and word to your mother!
