Bad Azz - Personal Business

Personally this his best album {4 and 1/2 stars}

Bad Azz was not a bad rapper but sometimes he can make a questionable album. But this album is not one of those times. Standout Tracks: U DONT WANNA BE BROKE, GET YOURZ NOW, READY 2 BANG, STREETZ ILLUSTRATED(crazy matchup with Ice Cube), PERSONAL BUSINESS, TOO MANY CHOICES, HOW WE GET DOWN, 2001 4DR CADILLAC, MONEY 2 FOLD, WE FROM THE LBC, DOGGHOUSE RIDAZ DONT WANNA DIE(takes shots at Deathrow) and LIFE AINT NEVER WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE. Filler: Life Aint Hard(crickets chirping,YAWWWN) Its On All Day(awful tearjearker wannabe)and When you see me(so stupid its sad). Bottom Line: Personal Business is Bad Azz's best work yet. The production was great, the guest appearances were not bad plus Bad Azz sounds a lot better than before. January 16, 2007

Real Bad Azz Locc!

If you are sick of the Crip-Walking, Doggstyle rappers from Long Beach, CA.....well then you are in for something new from the LBC! Yes, Bad Azz is back from the LBC Crew and isn't like no Daz, Nate Dogg, RBX, Tray Deee or Snoop Doggy figure, Bad Azz has his own unique Locc style, which he has plenty of words on the song U Don't Wanna Be Broke, and the song named after the Album Title, Personal Business featuring Val Young. The song Dogghouse Ridaz has a perfecto west coast style funk that features Snoop Doggy Dogg, Goldie Loc, Suga Free & Kokane. A hardcore gangsta song is Don't Wanna Die featuring Daz Dillinger & Blaqthoven. Personal Business features guest artists Kokane, Ice Cube, Val Young, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Lil Tip, Lil Beau, Nicole Harris, LaToiya Williams, Doggy's Angels, Butch Cassidy, Ras Kass, Sylk E-Fyne, Kurupt, Goldie Loc, Suga Free, Daz Dillinger, Blaqthoven, Jelly Roll, Lil' 1/2 Dead & Salim Grant.

The most Bad Azz songs from my Locc are *2, 3, 4, *7, 8, 9, 10, 13, *14, *15, 16, 17 & 20. November 22, 2005

2nd solo is a pretty good one

After almost 3 years since his debut, and with a lot more hype and budget, Bad Azz returns with an album not up to par with his debut, but still worthy of 4 stars. For starters it has too many guests (only 2 songs have no one else on them). Of the 17 songs, guests rap on 10 and do hooks on at least 5 so you don't get as much of one of the best kept secrets of the west as I'd have liked. It has 1 almost classic song, 3 that I skip, 4 are ok, and the others are good but only 1 or 2 of them is great. Production is pretty good but lacks on a few tracks, surprisingly cause he has some of the better known producers from the west coast on here. Jelly Roll does 6 songs, Battlecat does 5, Blaqthoven does 2, LT Hutton, Lil Beau, DJ Don, & Big Hollis all do 1. The middle of the album slacks off a lot. A good album to have for his fans and a good west coast album as well, jus tnot his best.

Down right aweful

I picked this up second hand a couple of weeks ago and I would have been happier to leave it behind. This sounds like a album that producers decided to off load there average beats to, to cash in on some extra doe. Now I dont look at raps as being the issue on rap albums as the raps should only be taken in as an over throw to the beats. The west coast is all about the groove of the music and the rappers slicking there rhymes over the top in mesmeration to these beats. How any of the rappers that feature on this album does this beats me or are they like the producers just cashing in. The good tracks as few as they are on this arnt even that worth repetitive listens. Sorry Bad Azz but if your style incourages beats like this then your crossed off my list. February 11, 2004
