Really nice beats. The producers are: Prodigy himself (Genesis, Can't Complain, Y.B.E., Intro), Havoc (Wanna Be Thugs, Delt W/ The Bullshit), Alchemist (Keep It Thoro, Three, Trials Of Love, Veteran's Memorial) and some guys I don't know: Bink Dogg (Rock Dat Shit), Hang Man 3 (What U Rep), Robert 'Shim' Kirkland (Infamous Minded), Ez-Elpee (H.N.I.C.), Rockwilder (Do It, Gun Play), Just Blaze (Diamond – the most radio-friendly track but not bad) and Ric Rude (You Can Never Feel My Pain) which makes it 10(!) producers and each one is in peak form.
The highlights are: Keep It Thoro, Can't Complain (also thanks to Chinky's vocals), Wanna Be Thugs (fantastic Kraftwerk sample), Veteran's Memorial (This track alone is worth the purchase of this album. The melancholic Alchemist beat reminds me a bit of DJ Muggs, and Prodigy's reminiscence of dead friends and family is really special) and You Can Never Feel My Pain but the other tracks are very good too, the album is really fun and sounds a bt like a mix tape as the tracks blend into each other so well that sometimes you don't immediately notice it's a new track. The album as a whole isn't as dark and bleak as Hell On Earth but it's certainly an uncommercial effort and a great legacy by Prodigy who has gone too early.
Must have / heavy on rotation type shit, thunnnn -
