If you like the We$t Coa$t sound or you're a C-Bo fan, then let me assure you this is not only the tightest CD C-Bo has or ever will make, but it is also one of the tightest RAP CDs to ever grace the racks in CD stores. Songs like "Gas Chamber," "Liquor Sto," "Bald-Head Nut," and "Chronic Conference" are some of the tightest joints to EVER bless wax! If you ain't knowin' then study up on a playa 'cuz this album is hot! It's extremely hard to find as being a Sacremento native, he actually made this album while staying in Seattle, Washington. So, if you ever get a chance... BUY IT!

C-Bo delivers a debut that is a classic and one of his top 3 albums to date (out of 13+). There is no song on here that I skip and easily listen to it from start to finish (except for the 2 skits) and it has 2 or 3 classics on here as well as about 7 high quality songs. Since this release over 11 years ago (as of 12/04) he has released over a dozen albums and is a big name in the northern Califonia rap scene. Mike Mosely and Sam Bostic drop some tight beats through the album and C-Bo (and only him unlike on his newer albums) delivers some tight lyrics. A definite must have album for west coast gangsta rap fans from a true gangsta from the Garden Block.

This is one of the most ground breaking debuts albums that came out of the West coast underground in the early 90s. This album is not C-BO's best work, but a must have for all C-BO fans.

i have owned more than one copy of this cd. both were stolen. i would purchase it again.

The bulk of my music collection consists of Jazz, Fusion, Jazz Rock, Classic Rock and Brazilian Samba/Bossa Nova. I am an occasional listener of rap and hip hop with a limited collection consisting basically of Tribe/Q Tip, Organized Confusion, The Pharcyde, Trendz Of Culture and other groups of that genre that are of a similar creativity level. The Gas Chamber sits at the top with what I would classify as "Gangsta Funk Rap". Taking into consideration of all the different genres in my collection, this is one of my favorites albums with only 1, sometimes 2 songs I will skip over. My favorite gem in this jewelry box is "Shots Out" with a tempo 1/2 beat slower (featuring a very funky synth base) than it's father, the intro to Roy Ayers "Everybody Loves The Sunshine". I never knew a simple holla at your homies could be so much funky fun. This is certainly one of the funkiest rap album of all time, and by no means has C-Bo since disappointed, but this is his best outing by far. C-Bo certainly went overboard taking heed to the saying, "You only have one shot to make a good first impression".

C BO IS SAC'S BEST. SURVIVAL IN THE GARDENS NUFF SAID.

EVERY SONG CRACKS ON THIS 1 JUST LIKE LYNCH C-BO SHOWS THE BEST
RAPPERZ COME STRAIGHT FROM SAC-TOWN

I think C-bo is solid. He come wit it every time

What is one to base a review on .....A picture? (If its even there) Let us sample the music. Was able to before this Website was Amazontized. Other style was much much better and user friendly. Dont get me wrong,Im a nice young man, computer literate. To much B.S. writing. Fire who ever designed this thing.
