This album is hottt! Terror Squad shows they are one of the best crews in rap along with Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. All six members come to the table fully loaded. They held nothing back on this album. On "Whatcha Gon do" Pun blasts away imitators and fakes. Joe calls out haters on "Bring It On". The young members of The Squad prove they are going to rule the game one day when people actually listen to them. Armageddon is gonna blow away those who haven't heard him yet. His material is so imaginative but his force makes it real. Cuban Link flows like water over the tracks. Prospect's "99 Live" should be an anthem anywhere there is true rap. Seis' "War" just bangs in your head. The only thing wrong with this album was that the whole Squad only performed together on one track "Pass the Glock". The most surprising tracks were "Rudeboy Salute", "I Know This Girl", "99 Live" and "Payin Dues". "Rudeboy Salute" featured Joe and Pun along with Buju Banton the rasta gangsta. The three different styles just mesh together to pound out one blazin track. "I Know This Girl" featured Cuban Link along with the Squad's R&B affiliate Tony Sunshine. The song's about 2 girls, 1's a sex freak and 1's a drug runner. On "99 Live" Prospect comes hard over a bangin beat. "Payin Dues" had Armageddon trading blows with Keith Nut. This was probably my favorite track. The chorus is hot. The rhymes are as tight as they come. Armageddon lays down a miracle of a beat. If you want an album with no intros, outros or skits, with only hardcore rap and a little tight r&b you can't do any better than Terror Squad The Album. Forget what haters are saying about Joe, Pun, and the Squad, put it in your car and ride for a couple hours.

This Album is not commercial but it's hot and is better than True Story this album features the former TS Members That actually had talent like Cuban Link,Triple Seis,and the Greatest Ever Big Pun. I still listen to it all the time. LGP

the best release from the terror squad yet! The whole t-squad is at their best on all the tracks . This album is the basis of a true t-squad collection. If you don't have it already go out and get it! YO PEACE TO ALL THE BORICUAS AND MORENAS IN JERSEY KEEP IT TRUE!

It is a shame when you think about it, the original terror squad which consisted of Fat Joe,Big Pun,Cuban Link,Prospect,Armaggedon,Triple Seis and Tony Sunshine were in my opinion a serious up and coming group, their album is full of great tracks which did not stray from their formula of hard mobb deep type beats and hardcore rhymes. Pun is to no surprise the star on this album, his rhyming abilty outclasses everyone but saying that both Cuban Link and Armaggedon showed great promise that even after puns death these two could have held it together as serious rhymers;Prospect and Triple seis both put in a decent effort while it is clear that Tony Sunshine has a great singing voice. Fat Joe on the other hand is quite hit an miss but he was never that potent rhymer to begin with. The new TS unfortunatly due to a falling out within the group Cuban Link and Triple seis both left replacing them remy ma now represents part of the new terror squad which is just a shadow of it's former self. on the whole if you liked big puns debut album you may like this but if you bought the second TS album first and is expecting to hear another album with tracks like their single lean back then forget it, this is for hardcore hip hoppers only.

It's very obvious when listening to this CD that Big Pun wrote the majority, if not the whole, album lyrically. That being said, it's not like anyone can't keep up with the flows he had in mind when he wrote the verses --- so it works. The beats on this cd are all real nice too.

Near classic level CD had it gotten more shine

Terror Squad's first and only album is a gem worth having in the collection. Terror Squad at the time consisted of rappers Fat Joe, Big Punisher, Cuban Link, Prospect, Armageddon and Triple Seis. This release came out in 1999, and since then Big Pun has died (R.I.P.), and the squad has split up with some members going different routes (Cuban Link starting his own label CLK Entertainment, and Triple Seis has left as well). Fat Joe continues to lead Terror Squad but its a much different group, and so far the only music out from it in the last four years has been Fat Joe solo albums. TS member and R & B singer Tony Sunshine is also featured on this release, and drops some nice vocals and chorus'. Fat Joe, Rob Tewlow, Greg Angelides & Craig Kallman handle executive producion. Alot of the beats on this are excellent with production coming from the likes of Alchemist, Buckwild, Young Lord, Jugrnaut & Yogi. Albums first track is the piano laced "In For Life" a powerful thugged out track where the TS comes out raw. "Pass the Glock" features all six members in a deadly collabration. Fastpaced "99 Live" has Prospect leading and is banging. Big Pun comes across very nicely solo on "Whatcha Gon Do?". Triple Seis comes out hard on "War" then Fat Joe tears it up on "Bring It On". My favourite track is without a doubt "As the World Turns" a track where Cuban Link absolutely shines and one where Tony Sunshine drops an exceptional chorus. This track opened my eyes to CL's lyrical ability, and now with his half brother Pun gone he is in my opinion the best latin hip hop rapper out. A hungry Armageddon comes out nicely on "Gimme Dat". "All Around the World" has Cuban talking about the ladies, drugs and street life. "Tell Me What U Want" is a laid back R & Bish track. Buja Banton drops in for "Rudeboy Salute" and having never heard Banton before I was surprised by his vocal tones. The Mellow "My Kinda Girls" has CL & Tony Sunshine talking about a hot lady, on a humourus track. Keith Nut & Armagageddon drop a decent collab on "Paying Dues" and "www.Thatsmysh-T.com" closes this sixteen track album off. Big Pun and Fat Joe keep there appearances limited as there goal I think was to showcase the skills of the lesser known MCs in the group. Of these MC's Cuban Link stands out the most for me, followed up by Prospect, then Armageddon and Triple Seis, all of them deserve to be on this release.Highly recommend this release for those who like latin Hip Hop, there will probably never be another Terror Squad album, and if there is it most definitely will not be like this one.

This is one dope album with great flow from the late BigPun and Fat Joe keeps it real with his style The Terror Squad is one of the best albums that i have heard in a while and look out for BIGPUN *New* Album YEAH BABY Keep It Real

This is not what I expected. The beats are a little chezzy and not enough Joe and Pun. The first five tracks are good and relaxing and Rude Boy Salute is hot to def but other tracks got you scratching your heads thinking huh. I ws so eager to get the album until I got it and now it is collecting dust. Anyway, Terror Squad is the group and they are going to put some realness always. Just this album needs work. They got skills but this album is going to have people who don't know hip hop think they are underrated.

this is definitely a solid album, but not the best in a while. there are some very weak tracks on there. This collab. is probably not even as good as Ruff Ryders. Pun and Cuban carry this album. "Armegittyon" is ready to shine, but for the entire Squad to really shine Sies and Prospect need to pick it up. I have heard them both sound tighter i.e., "capital punishment". The hidden gem waiting to shine will be Cuban when his album drops. By the way this is honest review from a latino not a nut huggin praise job, peace

Finally the Latino minority in the rap/hip-hop industry reigns. Forget, Puffy, Nas, Jay-Z, and the rest of the so called "Rap Kings." Terror Squad put together the best rap album in a long time (Tupac's "Makaveli" & "All eyes on me" and Biggie's "Ready to Die".) Terror Squad proves that rap is still raw at it's roots, The Bronx! In Fat Joe's Words "It's as simple as that!"

P.S. And after I heard the spanish version of "one" by poop doodoo, I knew Latinos had to rule this someday!
