OK, OK, so this album, by CHUNKY A, is not necessarily one that you will cherish forever, and play for your kids when you are old and tell 'em about how music was so much better when you were their age.

But now you are just another face in the sea of gangsterism with this record -- plus you don't have any of the eye-opening political commentary that make you unique. On this release, ICE T also sounds like he's trying too hard to overcome his dwindling credibility (anyone remember that bizarre kangaroo suit he wore for the film "Tank Girl"? Unfortunately I do. But pure testosterone and… Read more
