5.0 out of 5 stars A Groundbreaking CD in the Latino Rap Scene, September 20, 2002

Being of Mexican descent myself, I find this album to be very revolutionary. Before Proper Dos, (with the exception of Lighter Shade of Brown) Latinos were missing in Hip-Hop music; But it was time for a change and time for Latinos to find their voice in Hop-Hop cuz rap needed a strong Mexican-American persona that Latinos could identify with. Frank V and Proper Dos exemplified that image. Since L.A. is predominantly Hispanic, it only makes sense that L.A. should have a thriving Hispanic Hip-Hop culture and Proper Dos were at the forefront of that movement. Which is why their music and especially this CD are very integral to the growth of Mexican-Rap. Proper Dos were like the Latino counterparts of groundbreaking west coast groups such as N.W.A., Frank V even has the tough vocal timbre that Ice Cube possesses. The Best Cuts on this CD are "M.F.M","Mexican Power","Uno Ochenta y Siete","Life Of a Gangster","First Day Of School" & "Hard Time" which are ferocious tracks that breath fire on the twisted L.A.P.D. system and enlightens listeners about police brutality,discrimination, and racial tension in L.A. Overall, it's just a bangin' album and it's definately earned its place in Hip-Hop history as one of the greatest albums ever in my opinion. It's a must that you purchase this tight CD soon!
