The subject matter on the lyrics wasn't very diverse, and gunplay/dope-dealing rhymes were abundant. Now, I don't have anything against that, but when it's used in excess, it gets quite boring. The beats on some of the songs didn't do anything for me. Tracks like Gun Squad, Can't Front, and Ya Feel Me, had some either below average or straight up wack beats. However, most of the rappers featured are either average or above average, so there's really nobody that's outright wack.
This album could've received 2 or 2.5 stars from me but what earned this CD its 3.5 stars were the certified street bangers like ... Holla Boston, High Noon, Treason, and Who's Livin' It. The beats on these tracks will get your head nodding for sure and the thug life lyrics come out really dope this time.
Some of the words on certain songs are edited even in the explicit version, so that kinda shows ya that this is some hardcore rap.
Ecen though i gave this CD 3.5 stars (which is not bad), this Boston representatives rep their hometown to the fullest, and hopefully, they'll put it in the map of the East Coast rap scene.
April 19, 2002I'm so into this Hangmen 3 record. These guys are the producersof the millenium. Really phat beats, great raps, boomin' bass. ... "Holla Back" should be blowin' up big. It's an anthem. I wish they were coming to CA. ...

This cd is great. Each song has it's good qualities and the cd overall is probably one of the best i've heard in awhile. When u first listen to a lot of the songs on this album they don't sound that great, but if u listen to them for a while u realize how good each track is. There's mayb 2 tracks on this cd that aren't that good, but many other tracks make up for that. All in all, this is a great cd and i would urge anyone, especially people who like the mademen cd, to buy this and phatten your collection. I would give this cd a 4 1/2 stars and urge anyone who is a fan of rap and hiphop to buy this.
