Take Your Time
All the guests are easily superior to the main rapper, Big Daddy Kane and Rich Nice provide a first highlight in "In the Game", on light jazzy samples and midtempo drum, then comes the peak "4 My Peeps". The cut, featured twice, is a posse that boasts M.O.P., The Notorious B.I.G. and Organized Konfusion: on a simple Buckwild rhythm with classic vibes, hard, dry, heavy and midtempo drum machine, honest samples, xmas bells in the background, the guys spit out bars with an energetic and regular rap. Biggie Smalls flies effortlessly, velvety, flow dope, the others do well too. The absences of Billy Danze of M.O.P. and of Pharaohe Monch of Organized Konfusion are surprising: the MC from Brownsville arrives in the other remix, at the end of the album, exchanging a couple of verses with Lil' Fame, while Monch isn't present even there. Released by Select Records, the tape is Tone's second and last before continuing his career exclusively as a producer.

I view this album in much the same way as Masta Ace Sittin on Chrome. Here you have a rapper who cut his teeth in the late '80s/early '90s era but then changed up his sound a few years later. This album is mostly very smooth beats and sounds great on a car stereo. Lyrically this guy is just about the same. But over these beats this sounds pretty great. Occasionally the album ventures off into boom bap territory like on the posse cut 4 My Peeps. My only question being, where was Pharoahe Monch?? Other than that, an above-average album during a time when NYC was producing classics at a regular clip.

Lyrics: 2.5
Beats: 3.25
Didn't have enough of Tone's sex raps back in 1992? Well hey, he's back with another dose for y'all! The good thing about this is that the beats are in general better, but they are still not great enough to make this a good album. I'm just not interested in listening to Tone's sexual conquest for 45 minutes, even after 3 songs I get bored of his shit. It's cool that the beats are at least entertaining, very generic mid 90's stuff, but at least this will get your head bopping. Anything with a Biggie feature is worth checking out I guess? Yep, "4 My Peeps" is a classic joint and really above the rest of the album. I guess this album is still a decent listen and better than his debut album, but still I won't really have the urge to play this for the next 3 years.
