I usually don't do album reviews but I gotta say this was tight from beginning to end and I was shook that this was given a low reading by a magazine I call "The Sauce" So many of yall need to stop reading magazine ratings and come to sites likes this and read your own peers ratings. Word of mouth is bliss. A-G-2-A-KE who came out on Rap-A-Lot hasn't come out with a cd since this classic. I'm salty they didn't "make it" because this was heavily slept on!

A-G-2-A-Ke comes out real hard and hungry on their first release, 1998's Mil-Ticket on Rap-A-Lot Records. Let me say, it is awesome! These guys put Mil Town, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the map. These guys let it be know that they are hustlers; they get their grind on thru the whole album. Productionwise, this album stomps hard with a mix of laid back G-Funk and rattlin and bass heavy midwestern funk, sometimes meshing with a nice southern influence due to the label being a southern empire. The beats are awesome, mostly handled by 88 Keys, a few by Scarface (Brad Jordan, namely the ones he appears on), and Mike Dean adds a litle somethin too. The lyrics are hardcore and raw throughout, even though they light up a J on "R U High Yet?" with Yukmouth over a relaxed G-Funk beat perfect to slide n glide to. They also reminisce about one of the homies on "C-Lo" over a serious, whiny relaxed beat. These cats get a litle flossy on the laid back "Big Balla Society" over a twangy G-Funk style beat. A-G-2-A-Ke gets cautionary on "Tommorow Ain't Promised" and "Can't Nobody Change This" all over nice melodic beats, the former produced by Face. Now, these cats can rap a different speeds, from normal to fast like many midwestern rappers do, and each has his own flow; G-Mone and Mac Fee spit venom throughout. "Cocaine" is menacing with a bit about how drugs rule the game and the hood; you can also find this track on Scarface's 1998 album/compilation My Homies, also a recommended listen. I believe they have a second album, Ball $treet from 2001, but I know little about this one; it seems rare and expensive. It could be good, but I have never heard it yet. But as for Mil Ticket, definitely support the Rap-A-Lot legacy and scope up this slept on classic; this album did not garner a 5 star train for no reason!!!

Ahh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-AHH! From the beginning of this album to the last note of the last track is literrally explosive. So many good tracks, and I can't really explain it to a non listener, one would have to listen to it first, then, only then will they understand that this album is like a great movie, it's the Pulp Fiction, the Godfather of rap albums. I was severely impressed.

Every track is good, but these are my picks:
Sellin' Dreams
Cocaine
Flexious
Can't Nobody Change This

A-G-2-A-KE

Basically, WOAH!!

THIS ALBUM IS TIGHT AS HELL!!! LYRICALLY THEY COULD EXPLORE MORE TOPICS THAN JUST THE STEROTYPICAL GANGSTER RAP, BUT THE TRACKS ARE BUTTA...OVERALL THEY DID A TIGHT DEBUT...I HOPE TO SEE MORE OF THEM, ESPECIALLY THE PRODUCTION WORK OF 88KEYS.

I just bought this CD for the second time after lending-it out 2 years ago and losing the friendship over the failure to return this MASTER-PIECE,I burned a copy to play in the ride and downloaded it in my files,this CD "mil-ticket"is a complete package from the beginning to the end,creative,artistic,classic,brilliant and genius.

I just wanted to write this review. The CD was brand new and was shipped very quick. Thank you for being a great seller. I couldn't find this CD anywhere

When i listen to A-G-2-A-KE Mil Ticket, i always wonder how come they've never released a second album, did somebody become enemys, or did somebody died??? I cant seem to understand...

Ive had this album for a while now and with every listen to it I never get tired of listening to it. G-mone more than holds his own on the mic with his deep monster like flow that captivates u with every lyric that he spits. Every song from start to finish was executed with precision. 88 key's production on this album is way above average az he compliments the flow of g-mone and mac-fee. This is a definite must buy. Guaranteed satisfaction.

I'm very impressed with this CD. Just about all of the beats are tight! They have a different rap style than other rappers so ths CD is a breath of fresh air!

This cd rocks from beginning to end. With mr scarface in the mix this rap-a-lot project hasn't left my cd player since i bought it. No doubt a classic rap-a-lot cd that everyone should have.
