"In The Line Of Fire" Review, November 9, 2003
This review is from: In the Line of Fire (Audio CD)
As the stand-out member of Tupac Shakur's "Outlawz", Hussein Fatal seemed destined for big things but following his mentor's death and his subsequent departure from the group, Fatal found himself in career limbo. On his solo debut off of Relativey, Fatal was hoping to establish himself as a major contendor in the rap game and do it all by his lonely. Unfortunately, he fell a few steps short. While die-hard Outlaw fans enjoyed it, this album did not quite live up to many people's expectations and the dismal sales figures didn't help matters either. While cuts such as "Friday", "Everyday", and "Take Your Time" made for decent music, they just didn't provide incentive enough to keep this one in the CD player on a regular basis. The same Fatal who blazed the mic on tracks like "Made N--gaz" and "When We Ride" just doesn't seem to make the same impression without his infamous cohorts behind him. This isn't to say that Fatal doesn't have what it takes as a solo act but let's just say, he didn't quite find his niche on this one. If you love the Outlawz, you're gonna want to add it to your collection but anyone else may want to hold off on dropping some dollars on this one.

Great solo Debut - 4.5 stars, November 15, 2004
This review is from: In the Line of Fire (Audio CD)
Despite not being on a huge label and featuring none of his Outlawz buddies, Hussein Fatal delivers a solid and impressive debut. Not as "hard" as I thought it was going to be, it still is very good and impressive. Feature Mac Mall, Mercilless X, ONS, Antoinette Roberson (although most go unlisted) and perhaps a few more. Only has 11 songs with no real weak point, one can easily listen through from start to finish with no need to skip any songs. There is 1 classic, 2 near classics, and 2 are just ok songs. The production is a little different then what I thought it would be, but he adapts well to make it work. Rob Reef Tewlow, Delite, and Steve Pitts all do 2 songs, and Courtney Burgess, Quim, Femi, Baby Paul, D'Anthony Johnson each do 1. A must have for Outlaw fans.
#1 - 9 (has a minute 40 second intro before he raps)
#2 - 10 (Classic)(f/...)
#3 - 8
#4 - 7.5 (f/..)
#5 - 9 (uses MC REn's "If It Ain't Ruff" beat of NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" album)
#6 - 8 (f/ ONS...)
#7 - 9.5
#8 - 7.5
#9 - 8 (f/...)
#10 - 8.5
#11 - 7.5
