C-Bo is back again with about his 4th album in the past year and a half. The quality of his last few albums were slipping and this one picked up a little bit, but still isn't near his best work (most of his earlier stuff). Has one classic track, and about 3 or 4 that I skip and a good number of quality tracks as well. Has 18 songs but it could have been a much more solid album with 13 or 14 good songs. Two thirds of the production duties are handled by Mark Sparks or Blaqthoven and they do a pretty good job. Only 3 of the 18 songs don't feature anyone, causing it to be a little worse than it should've been. A good album to have for his fans however.

This is a great album from the baldheaded nutt, Mobfather is the best album from C-bo since Blocc Movement with Brotha Lynch Hung.This is an album you can listen to all the way thru without having to press the skip button on your stereo..Every Track is a standout but if i had to name the top 5 i've give it 2. We Come From Tha Streetz, I Like Gangster Sh*t, Husslin', Know Where 2 Find Me And Dont Want It......Go Buy this album and stay tuned for blocc movement 2.....

First off...let me say that I have been a C-Bo fan since he pretty much got started working with Master P on West Coast Bad Boyz. I can't think of anyone who rips it up better than the ghetto cowboy...in his prime that is. I have no idea what he was thinking when he wrote the lyrics for this entire album. This isn't Bo. This is some watered down, slow paced, over-use of the word "dog"-ass garbage here. He TOTALLY changed up his style on this effort. The 2 stars I donated were for production reasons alone. If you know ANYthing about C-Bo...think back to when he ripped it up on Tales From the Crypt, 1 Life to Live, 'Till My Casket Drops. His rhymes on Mobfather sound like some weak-ass MTV battle where they let you curse and don't disqualify you. I'm all down for change. I mean, look at Lunasicc AKA Luni Coleone...night and day, right? But the new style is hyped and still on point. Bo just sounds here like he's trying to fit in to the "new" styles rap is heading to which are weak anyhow. I'm no hater...if it works for him, then get your money. But if you want vintage C-Bo at his best, then get the CD's I listed above, and don't think twice about wasting your money on Mobfather which is so different from what C-Bo is capable of...I'm starting to wonder if he even wrote the lyrics himself.

Now this is some true gangsta rap. C-Bo been holdin' it down for years. This CD is tight. When you hear the intro, it gets you geared up for the album. All of the songs are hardcore. They say Gangsta rap is dead, well I don't think so. Worth listening- "I Like Gangster S***", "If You Don't Know Me", "We Come From the Streets", "B**** "N***", & "So Fresh". C-Bo even takes a shot a Ja Rule on one of the tracks. Plus he is not a 50 Cent fan.

this cd is pretty tight since his last 2 he came out wit were kinda weak like tracks 1-7 are tight and when he Flo's wit yukmouth DaMn off the hoook 9 songs on dis cd are tizight expecelly track 7 its the best on there wit killa tay man they just tear it up on that song off the hook pick up dis Cd you'll be glad u did
