This is it!! Some of the best old school jams, are packed into this cd by the one and only RBL POSSE!! If you don't think you know who they are, think twice. Chances are you've heard at least a song or two of theirs but didn't know what the fukc you were listening to...song's like "lesson to be learned" and "ain't no joke" still get play to this mutha fukcking day! Buy this sh1t quick, cause you won't regrit, peace mutha fukcas.

What's up ya'll they definitely don't come any realer than this. RBL Posse's is one of FRISCO'S and the Bay Area's best. It's funny after reading all the reviews and after all these years there is nothing I can disagree w/ except that after bumpin' this in your ride, boom box, or while riding underground in the MUNI, you definitely can get a taste of the SFC lifestyle, sound, taste, and culture. RBL are seasoned vets that came harder than most back in a time when most folks were barely putting it down for their towns. MASTERPIECE, CLASSIC, SIMPLY SFC'S FINEST, all these are words that fall way short of describing what RBL put down for their town and the whole bay w/ this album. From Top 2 Bottom the cd is one you can just pop in your deck and let play over & over again...

RIP Mr. Cee, Cougnut, and Pac. 1 luv. -2002 out and peace to the cats bumpin' this back in '92, back in the days, when I was barely coming up and couldn't afford to cop this disc.

These boys from the Sucka-Free City,made one heck of an album..from beginning to end,this album was bumpin'!!"Bammer Weed"became a by-word,on Detroits streets,and "Remind Me"had heads noddin' in remembrance of Patrice Rushen in her heyday!!"More Like An Orgy"became the official party anthem of its day!!You CAN'T go wrong,by buying this album!!

I first I bought this Album was in the early part of 93. I was in the swap meet down on Slauson in L.A., heard it bumping and asked who it was. I bought it. I next heard them on West Coast Bad Boys with Master P, making a dollar out of fifteen cents. I've bought this album 3 times. If you loan it out, you won't get it back. Plus, this one's hard to get now. It took me 2 months to get it this last time via special order. So, order now before its gone. The beats are fat and original. The lyrics are dope and original. Especially the cut with Totally Insane. It's 2000 and I'm still bumping it. Plus their other ones too. If anyone know where I can find RBL Posse's Hitman "Solo Creep" let me know. You have to get this if you like gangsta rap music. THEY AIN'T NO JOKE.

I thought I would never be able to find their album!!! This is classic hip hop that was way ahead of its time. Love, love, love RBL Posse.

RBL IS ONE OF THE 1ST UNDERGROUND GROUPS COMING FROM THE BAY, THAT TORE SH** UP & MADE IT POSSIBLE 4 OTHER UNERGROUND RAPPERS! THEY HELP GIVE THE BAY & CALI. STREET CRED. WITH HITZ LIKE DON'T GIVE ME NO BAMMER WEED, LESSON'S 2 BE LEARNED ETC. WHEN MISTER C WAS KILLED IT HIT THE GROUP HARD !!! AFTER THAT BLACK C DROPED A COUPLE OF CD'S & HELPED OTHER ARTIST FROM THE BAY GET NOTICED. BUT WHEN MISTER C DIED IT JUST WASN'T THE SAME! THERE 1ST 2 ALBUMS R MUST HAVE'S!! 1ST LESSON'S 2 BE LEARNED 2ND SELF TITLED RUTHLESS BY LAW!!

I have listened to this cd over and over again and I never rerally get tired of it. This is my opinion is the best of RBL's work and one of my favorite cd's of all time. With the intro advising of whats going to happen all the way to the outro this cd is a masterpiece. It combines humour with steet raps and sounds somewhat un-polished which helps to give it a great vibe. If wu tang is the best group in the east than by far RBL is the best from the west.

I would like everyone reading these online reviews to know, especially those considering the eloquent words of "The Ultimate Can of Hormel Chili" as potentially accurate, that he gave clay aiken's new album 3/5 stars. it warrants repeating my friends; "CLAY AIKEN's NEW ALBUM 3/5 STARS." Keep that in perspective as you read his reviews, and have yourself a good laugh as I did.

It's a fantastic album with a litany of hits. Great lyrics, great beats, and for it's time, simply untouchable. Every subsequent album owes homage to these guys as they were truly ground-breaking.

RBL Posse's first album is loaded with heat that'll get your stereos thumpin all day. The lyrics are menacing, straight up old fashioned gangsta rap, totally unlike the candy MTV rap of today. All of the beats beats courtesy of Black C (G's By The 123's by TC) are neat. I love the old school P-Funk samples, so you know the beats are bouncy, perfect for lowridin down the avenue. In fact, some of the beats and samples slightly hint at old school Ice Cube, but with a bay area twist. G-Funk gems like this were sadly slept on, and are still so today.
