First of all, the latest No Limit releases are sounding a bit different. Cuz in 1998, all the No Limit albums that came out basiclly sounded the same. But Mercedes, Fiend, Magic & now Mac's new album have a slighty different feel, but are all good! If No Limit stayed the same, you'd get sick of it. Anyway, this album is hot! by far, my faorite song is "Still Callin Me" that is like a slow tempo, freaky, sexy song, that just puts you right in the mood. Second best song is "Paradise" which features POPEYE (who is the best new No Limit Soldier with LOTS of skills). Other favorites are "Lockdown", "We Deadly"- which has a creepy beat to it that is so tight. and "Cops & Robbers"-which has a beat that sort of sounds like the beat from "What ya'll want-by EVE". This Album is hot, i definately recommend it! (P.S. I bet alot of you don't this...MAC used to be on CASH MONEY RECORDS before he got on No Limit!) also SOULJA SLIM (who is locked up at the present time) is a No Limit Soldier, but he too used to be on Cash Money Records, and Soulja Slim's brother is B.G. (who is on Cash Money). just thought you'd like to know that. Go cop MAC-WORLD WAR III

If Mac wasnt in jail, there is no doubt he would be a real force in rap today.This whole cd is hard. Every song, his flow stays on topic and he jus rips it. Buy this cd before u can't find it.

This is one of the brightest spot of No Limit. Master P has done a terrific job by recruiting Mac onto the tank. In this album, Mac again shows that he's a master when it comes to lyricism, deliveries, and originality. Any rap fan should have this album, seldomly has No Limit ever put out something like this before. The best cuts on here are; 1.WE DEADLY- Outstanding work done by P and Mac dissing Pastor Troy, this one song is a good enough reason to buy this album.

2.BEST FRIENDS-Loved the beat,

3.WAR PARTY-Energetic beat with very good verses by Mac and D.I.G

4.BLOODY-Magic and Mac sayin'DON'T MESS WIT US!' A fast paced song

5.PARADISE-WOW!! Samm and Popeye are tight as HELL! Makin me think why are they wit No Limit

6.Battle Cry-Very good song, again Mac shows us his talent

7.Cops and Robbers-The beat is fire, and a song dissin the cops

8.Lockdown-Mac delineates about his life in the slammer

9.That's Hip-Hop-Again, Mac wit them hot lyrics

10.Assassin Nation-My favorite song on the album

These are the 10 best songs on the album, the other will keep you busy too. Unlike Shell Shocked, this album leaned towards the east coast. Focused on lyrics more than beats. Mac's the reason why No Limit is better than Cash Money or any New Orleans rap... Get this..and yes it's better than Shell Shocked

Mac is tight, look, I'm from New Orleans and he put this down better than Weezy. He shouldn't be in jail, but, if he ever get out, it's on wo!

Standout tracks: WAR PARTY, BEST FRIENDS, LIKE BEFORE, WE DEADLY, BLOODY, YOU NEVER KNOW, BATTLE CRY, IF ITS COOL, COPS AND ROBBERS, LOCKDOWN REMIX, THATS HIP HOP, CAN YOU LOVE ME, GENOCIDE, FATHERS DAY and ASSASIN NATION. Filler: Still callin me is a far reach from the original Callin me on Mac's first album. Bottom Line: Mac is one the best emcees to came out of the south and this album further solidifies that point. This album has songs with a message attached to them(Genocide, Fathers day, Can you love me etc) which is way more than you will get from the average no limit artist. Its unfortunate that he got locked up. Hold your head up Mac.

This is a 5 mic album to me. Its great. Some people refer to Mac as The Souther 2pac and i would have to agree. Its unfortunate that mac was convicted of murder and wasnt able to release another album. Ill get to that later. This CD features two of my favorite songs of all time. Fathers Day and Eyes Of A killer. The production on this cd is great. Some people wont agree that this is the best MAC album but thats mainly because it doesnt feature the typical No Limit Records Prouction from Beats By The Pound because they left, the reason they stated was musical differnces. I this think album is amazing and i would reccomend you picking it up. Even for the price its going for. Thats saying alot, it is that good.

Mac was sent to Prison for Manslauggter. He got 30 years with a possibilty of parole in 2010. I believe he was innocent, not because hes one of my favorite rappers like some people do. The case they had against him was shotty. The person who did it Confessed but they went on to prosecute him anyway. They never found the murder weapon and had no physical evidence. Even in this day and age with the corrupt 'justice' system, the fact that he was convicted amazes me. I think it was because he is a rapper and No Limit Records was started with dope money. The New Orleans Police, The Dea and the Feds were trying to get Master P for the longest time. On Tru's Tru To The Game they speak on this.

Mac Is currently trying to get an appeal and its looking hopefull after the appeal that was granted to fellow No Limit Records Rapper C-Murder.

By the middle of 99', the streets were a bit skeptical about No Limit after dissapointing releases from Master P and Silkk the Sucker. Their best album of the year, Mac's World War 3, came at the end of the year.
Unlike most NL albums, there is a certain synergy here. The top-notch production coupled with Mac's first-rate flows give the album a certain ambience which was absent in their prior releases. Whereas Shell Shocked was directed to the clubs, World War 3 is a cynical album which explores the treachery and deception which comes from being on the streets. On the tear jerking "Best Friends", Mac discusses a friendship gone bad: "I made a promise to your momma when we were only 12, told her I'd deliver you from evil and keep you alive and well. I guess I've got to dissapoint her but you leave me no choice".
On "Like Before" Mac pushes Ghetto Love to a new limit. A limit which most R&B singer could not reach. There are other potent songs such as "Just another thug" with C-Murder and "Eyes of A Killa". Mac's World War 3 is probably the best album to be released from NL ever(except maybe C-Murder' Life or Death).

Mac (the best No Limit Soldier) comes with his Sophmore No Limit Album. He came with a better album than Shell Shocked. To say that it's great is an under statement. Mac is one of the best lyricists in the country and actually one of best ever.

Mac worked with is PsychoWard clique on WW3 more than his previous album "Shell Shocked". This was his first album working with Soulja Productions, as well. He also had more time to shine by himself on this album than on Shell Shocked.

Excellent tracks include "Best Friends" (which reseurfaced on "Goodfellas")... a stirring narrative about a former friend turned enemy. "Like Before" features a bouncy New Orleans style beat by XL and Mac rips it. "We Deadly" has a sinister beat by TRU-Records producer Ke-Noe, and features a reinvigorated Master P. "Bloody" is a favorite that features Mac & Magic spitting fast rhymes over a sick XL beat. "Assassin Nation" has Mac spitting intense lyrism that only a Psycho Ward MC can bring you... Mac destroys tha beat that Raj'Smoove from the PsychoWard provides.

Mac went much deeper on this album than his last, with thoughtful lyrics on songs such as "Battle Cry", "Lockdown Remix", "Can U Love Me?", "Genocide", & "Father's Day"

I recomend this album to anyone who likes incredible lyricsm, great flow, and a unique style. Buy This Album!!! Support this man who's goin through a rough time right now and never got the recognition he truly deserves. Mac should be a superstar

Mac is under-appreciated. all the no limit rappers are awesome , but mac is up with p,silkk,c,snoop,mystikal,fiend,and mama mia

his first album Shell Shocked was 1 of the best big shout out 2 MAC and all rappers at no limit,and every where else-----------Mark Shaver(TRU SOLDIER)

MAC HAS DONE IT AGAIN. THIS CD IS A CLASSIC AND IT IS BETTER THan the 1st one. the 1st cd was live, but it is not like this one. mac has skills and i will be glad when people start to recognize.
