PostSubject: M.I.A. Albums Day 8   M.I.A. Albums Day 8 Icon_minitimeMon 09 Aug 2010, 7:37 am

Today i'm going to Houston and hollering at Rap-A-Lot records grp the Blac Monks. Blac Monks were a grp headed by Mr. 3-2 from the grp The Convicts. And two other emcess who I know nothing about but they held ther on. Its a real funky smooth more so west coast vibed album. The west coast had the game on lock from like 92-95. Back then the west coast had a big influence on a good amount of southern albums production wise. But you can still feel some of that bluesy south creepin in here and there. I think this would make my top 50 southern albums, its a real good one. Its not typical gansta/hardcore shit they actually had a politica/spiritual twist to the album also. I got it at a 4.5 or so.

Here's the 1st single. But the video version is different from the album version beat and hook wise. I like the album version more but check the video:

If you didn't tell me where they were from I'd fight someone to the death saying West Coast.

It's not bad, but nothing that makes me wanna go further.

How do I fix that? Every other youtube vid I have displayed has worked I think.

Good look Romp. This album should be right up your alley. And Steve thanks for checking it out.

Their "No Mercy" album from '98 is nice too. Not a phenomenal group but they had some dope RAL production in their corner.

Real dope album, one of my favorite Rap-A-Lot albums (sans Scarface & Geto Boy's albums).

Is it man? Because I remember I was about to buy it but the samples sounded kinda weak. How far behind this one is it quality/rating wise?

Eh I would have both at about 3.5...I'm honestly not a big 3-2 fan but the beats are nice.

Dope album for sure. I bought this off Kev's rec back in the day. I'd give it 4 stars easily.

I was looking for 3-2's "Wicked Buddha Baby" but when I saw the price I decided to just get the Black Monks instead. Now did this CD come out before or after Da Lenchmob CD? There are too many similarities between those 2 CDs IMO. However, I liked this. I'll say after 1 spin I would give it between a 3.5 and a 4. I have been trying to further expand my Rap A Lot collection Kev. Obviously I have the Face's, Geto Boys, etc. So my last amazon order, I ordered the Big Mike CD ( I had the tape), this and Big Mello's "Wegonefunk....."

Lenchmob came out way before this one. And that Big Mello is a tight album.
