This is album is o.k. I kind of expected more though. When he was about to drop there was this big rukus, then when the album came out things got quiet.

I've been looking for more Rampage after buying this CD, and have been disappointed there was never a follow-up. Almost every track is excellent. The vocal work is bombastic and over the top, the music is rich and haunting in places. A great CD -- a lost classic.

Flipmode Squad's Rampage release Scouts Honor...By Way Of Blood overseen by cousin and leader Busta Rhymes for an album with a concept similar to his own. "Flipmode Iz Da Squad" featuring Spliff Star, Serious, Busta Rhymes & Lord Have Mercy leads this album off as the first song with an introduction of their movement with an organ riding the one, two drum track. Rampage describes the feeling and his life before releasing this album on "Da Night B4 My Sh-- Drop". Self proclaimed stalker of New York, this Flatbush Brooklyn emcee / rapper flows with simplicity as does the track on "Talk Of The Town". The Boy Scout tells a story of "The Set Up" about someone not living true and or real. A piano laced looped chord was strong enough for an honorable mention on "Wild For Da Night" featuring Busta Rhymes. "Flipmode Enemy #1" featuring Serious is a sample taken from Public Enemy's "Public Enemy #1" as a good remake with his own personal twist. Ramp didn't leave without any party / club tunes with "Take It To The Streets" featuring Billy Lawrence and "We Getz Down (Remix)". "Hall Of Fame" is a real hip-hop song with the production as Rampage shows why he should be inducted. As eight of the fourteen tracks were produced by D.J. Scratch, he provided a foundation for Rampage to build his own following with.

Rampage I would like to know where u r at you made a pretty good CD and you disappeared, but anyway you got a good CD

Boring CD from start til finish. The only two memorable songs are "Wild For The Night" and "Take It To The Streets (with Billy Lawrence)". I'd recommend Billy Lawrence's album "Paradise" over this wack album. Not to mention that Rampage's album cover looks like he's peering through a latex condom.

To those below that don't appreciate the subtle and funny way this CD is, they better get checked. Every track in here apart than being a neck breaker and have crazy good flows - the skits at the end of each track are freakin hilarious. Very well put together for a hip-hop artist create.

An Underground Classic that very few know about. Get it.

IF U LIKE BUSTA RHYMES AND DA FLIPMODE SQUAD THEN YOU'LL LOVE DIS ALBUM RAMPAGES LYRICS R TIGHT.FLIPMODE 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T SEEN NOR HEARD FROM RAMP JUST TO LET YOU KNOW HE'S STILL AROUND AND ABOUT TO DROP ANOTHER BANGER NO JOKE. I CAN'T GIVE YOU TOO MANY DETAILS AND SPOIL THE SURPRISE, JUST KNOW THIS COMES FROM SOMEONE VERY UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THE FLIPMODE BEAT MAN HIMSELF. BE ON THE LOOKOUT YO!
