The Natural was the first Haystak album I purchased and is great music for anyone. White Boy is an original track and one of my favorite songs (and I'm Mexican!!!). The Natural is a MUST HAVE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haystak brings a guaranteed classic every time around..., June 3, 2003

If you're like most rap fans, Haystak is the best rapper out today that you've never heard of. He blends street life and down south flavor in a hip hop format that makes Bubba Sparxx look like Ja Rule. Haystak came from the ground up, and the only reason he sold 60,000 units independently to fans both black and white was because his lyrics are so real. You can really feel the subjects he's rhyming about. He does for the trailer parks what Nas does for the projects.

Haystak also has some of the most bumpin beats out there. This is definitely some country crunkness. On "The Natural" (his third studio release), he has all kinds of different styles, from the uptempo club tracks, to the dirty south gangsta tracks, to the emotional tracks. While other rappers (such as Eminem) may be more witty and intellectual with their lyrics, Haystak's music is a lot deeper and more down to earth. He also appeals more to folks who have lived the hard life. He represents the lower class, whereas Eminem (who may have roots in the ghetto), tends to appeal more to the suburban population.

Another thing about "The Natural" is that it sounds more polished than his previous CD's. Stak is one of those rare artists who actually keeps improving his skills with each album. Most rappers lose their flare after the first CD or two, but Haystak manages to mature with each album, and still stay true to the streets.

This album is a must have for any true rap fan...

A Natural is what Haystak is to rap, he really was born to do this. And he shows this on the album. This album was very different from his first 2 with this being his 3rd. It was more commercial and distributed by Kotch and I think his most advertised to date and maybe even his most famous because of this. But I can tell u it's not his best by a long shot it is goood though. Some tracks u should check out is Bangin, Cool People, Different Kinda Lady which is about his mom and 1 of his ol lady's. Dirty Dirty is another good 1 and the lyrics is him at his best.And lastly Life With No Crime will get u thinkin and because it does this it proves he's a great artist he can paint a picture with lyrics and it's almost like watchin a movie.
