I think Bizarre Ride II has to be consider top 20 of the 1990s, if not top 10. Discuss.

Top 10...Maybe..90s had some good cds...Top 20..No doubt...It's a damn fun cd...Much better than Labcabin...The group was tight on Bizarre Ride...Too bad they slowly fell apart after that...

I think the first one was a beautiful mistake. It was just them gettin high as fuck and having fun in the studio. The pressure for follow up was pretty big, they waited too long, and their fun sound wasn't there. It's a shame, cos the first one still gets a party fucking rocking.

exactly.
they lucked out with a great producer who captured an amazing moment in time.

i miss when a group would do a whole album with one producer.

i like a few songs off the 2nd one (runnin is amazing) but it's seems like they are trying too hard to be "grown up" and it ends up being kinda boring.

I agree with all of this. Especially the one producer thing. Like when The Bomb Squad put out Amerikkka's Most Wanted with Cube. Goddamn that shit is ill.

I understand that some producers have a signature sound, and it can wear thin after a while....so why don't the artists make the fucker's branch out.

It's like Rae says "I don't want motherfucka's sounding like me, on NO muthafuckin album"

part of the reason Freeways album was so great was because it was so close to being entirely produced by Just Blaze, and all the stinkers weren't.

some people still do this here and there.

The neptunes did all of the Clipse album
Primo (obviously) does all of the Gang Starr albums
Timaland has done a few whole albums.

but i'd like to see more of it.

you know, i hear so much shit about how bad Freeway's album is and that always shocks me because I think it's pretty tight. Maybe it's just our area.

i always assume people had never actually heard it or they loved it.
the production on that album is so awesome.
