Following just six months after their dissapointing 4th album, Goodie Mob, consisting of only two members following Gipp's departure, have delivered what is easily their tightest album since "Still Standing".

Murder Madness Music 7/10 - If you are familiar with past Goodie Mob albums, this is just their ascending opening track ala They Don't Dance No Mo' etc.

Black History 9/10 - Some of T-Mo and Khojo's most inspired lyrics delivered alongside a cinematic backing track.

Gothic Funk 9/10 - Just as good as Black History and a little darker too.

Turn Your Whip 6.5/10 - Your standared Lil' John style crunk track, brings nothing new to the table but it is otherwise a decent leading track.

Puttin' On2Nite 9/10 - Following the crunk attidude set by "Turn Your Whip", this track absolutely kills it with funky production that leaves you questioning why this isn't the lead single.

Git High 8.5/10 - Progressive percussion is complemented by a simple bass riff and a heavy synth track lead by some good verses by Witchdoctor, Preacher and the two Goodie Mob members. This is very much an old-Goodie Mob style track

Bet Dat 5/10 - Boring latino-style backing track lead by come equally dissapointing raps and the awfully repeadative "BET DAT HEY!" shouting in the backround. Skip this one.

They Comin' Man 8/10 - This is more like it, obviously, the Goodie Mob wanted to make some latino-style music and while "Bet Dat" fell off badly, this track works thanks to some good delivery on the verses and a catchy latino chourus ala "Lucifer" on Jay-Z's "The Black Album".

Superfriends 6.5/10 - A somewhat boring Goodie Mob semi-reunion cut with Gipp, Khjho and T-Mo rapping about each other's friendship.

Hillbillies 6.5/10 - Another boring track where the Goodie crew, along with Witchdocter run over some annoying southern cliches and crunk trash.

Lock and Load 6/10 - After hearing this track, you have a sense that this album had fallen off since "Bet Dat" until it is saved by.....

Probly Never 8/10 - The album is saved at last with a funky electro-style crunk track.

24/7/365 8/10 - What a better way to end the album then with another Goodie Mob semi-reunion track! Here, T-Mo imitates former member, Cee-lo's trademark crooning to lead into one of the most direct Cee-Lo disses since his departure from the group.

This wasn't intended to be a Goodie Mob album, it was a side project for Khujo & T-Mo. Big Gipp still makes a few appearances on this album. Besides a few songs like Turn Your Whip, Puttin On2nite, and Bet Dat, this album is similar to the Goodie Mob's older work as far as subject matter is concerned. They tackle some serious issues and provide some thought provoking lyrics with a little bit of new school crunk thrown in there. The standout tracks are Murder Madness Music,Get High,They Comin,Hillbillies,and Puttin On2nite. The whole album is tight.

After all the turmoil and controversy, Khujo and T-Mo are "Still Standing". This album is as good as it gets now days
with watered down rap and hip-hop. On this album the duo continues to slang dirty lyrics over well seasoned beats. A MUST BUY ALBUM!!!!!!!!
