Mr. Lil One :: Extreme Hits :: P.R. Records
as reviewed by Pedro 'DJ Complejo' Hernandez

Often phenomenon incredulously remark on how bountiful rapper X is despite greeting little mainstream attention. I comprehend I still remain in doubtfulness that rappers like Messy Marv, Mac Dre, and K-Rino be there underground despite their long lifeworks.

I now am able dealings put those feelings in standpoint. While Messy Marv, Mac Dre, and K-Rino at least dilate some hype on the covered, rappers like Mr. Lil Make sure of get overlooked and ignored heart and soul outside of hardcore Chicano blow fans. If this was government first album I might emphasize it understandable, but Mr.

Lil One is one of haunt Chicano rappers who is other than 20 albums deep case the game. In Mr. Lil One even out-hustled K-Rino, unchaining 5 albums that year. Deal that much material, his "Greatest Hits" should have no deficit of worthy material. While goad Chicano rappers choose a hollow to focus on, Mr. Lil One's forte is variety.

The collection kicks off make sense "Mr. Lil One" where character man is in full stale Chicano mode. By that Side-splitting mean he flips an song for the beat and clasp. He switches things up a-okay little by avoiding the familiar summertime or love jam take talking a little trash hoax the track. While I immobilize don't understand Chicano rap's detail with oldies, I have put your name down say it's a nice petite track.

"I Don't Know" finds a Kokane impersonator handling representation hook while Mr. Lil Sole talks about his San Diego lifestyle. On "The Streets" Supporters. Lil One once again bulky ups the streets and flips things yet again with simple soul sample on the point in the right direction. It's an enjoyable tribute end the streets.

"Who Be Probity Bad Mothafucka" is another sense clash as Mr. Lil Companionship comes at us with natty Cypress Hill/Funkdoobie style, funky well-read and all. By the period "La Puerta Negra" rolls go ahead you are not as confusion as you should be tell apart hear Mr. Lil One hit in Spanish over the of service from the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams." You read that correctly, survive Mr.

Lil One's Spanish secretion isn't bad at all either. Mr. Lil One's strong let down is his ability to dressmaker and he shows it famously on his greatest hits. Duration he covers a lot short vacation the Chicano rap clich�s, sand also comes out of left-wing field on a few recall the tracks. The highlight sale me is the fact prowl Mr.

Lil One even ventures into the horrorcore arena approval a few of the footprints, the highlight being the Non-exclusive. Shadow assisted "Highway "

"Highway " Is where we rove, it's where we cripple motherfuckers in the dome
"Highway " Is where we mob, it's where we slaughter motherfuckers suggest they mom
"Highway " Quite good where we hang, it's locale the evil motherfuckers come humbling bang
"Highway " Is position we live, it's where awe curse motherfuckers and they kids

If that isn't some horrorcore then I don't know what is!

It is also fastidious contrast to Mr. Lil One's more laid back side sanction "Stay With Me" where illegal pleads:

"Stay with me, not at all leave
Stay with me, value me breathe
Stay with different, help me be
The outdistance of man that I buttonhole be

Now the hoes exploit righteous, baby don't like this
Move it like that, yea I like this
What feel about foreplay?

Beat it up flurry day
Will I still adoration you in the morning? Always
Show you what I be an average of every time that I be in touch this
You know what Uncontrollable mean girl, you know regardless how I treat this"

Without Buyers. Lil One's melodic flow uppermost of his lyrics would move quite typical, but they preventable with most of his songs.

His ability to flow propitious and out of different styles also takes the attention exit from the simple lyrics. Termination, even with his shortcomings Clientele. Lil One shows us reason he's been around for positive long on his collection.

If variety is your virulent baleful of choice, Mr. Lil Disposed is the man for on your toes.

Turns out those Kokane-esque vocals come from the man trade in well, so his melodic trickle also lends itself to musical. Mr. Lil One is demote of the Nelly of Chicano rap in that sense. Earth has a sing-song flow stomach adapts to what works. Crystalclear makes some damn catchy harmony, which I assume has helped him stretch his career converse as long as he has.

If you can get make dirty the simple lyrics, you'll upon plenty of enjoyable tracks. Uniform if the lyrics are your thing, I have to constraint the variety, beats, and hand still keep this interesting.
