This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Mia X - Sista Stories.
Sista Stories showcased the raw sista side of Mia X which was written from a sista's point of view and perspective. Mia X shares her experience about womanhood in form of rap. Tales of conflict and tales of confusion are told. It's also about dealing with pain during the struggle of life. For those who don't know, Sista Stories picks up where Unladylike left off. Which is what Mia X intended. In fact, Sista Stories revisits Unladylike in a more explicit manner. Sista Stories was an album that came from No Limit Records. While Sista Stories did not get an official release, a few promo copies were pressed up for record company executives to review.
This No Limit album is different as there are not as many radio friendly tracks on this album. Only 3 of the 17 tracks that were on this album are radio friendly. Mia X decided to take a more darker explicit approach when recording this album. While album seems to have a Burlesque theme, Mia X might have been inspired by R. Kelly during the time. She brought out that raw uncut hip hop sound with this album.
Mia X did a remake of the 1987 Cover Girls hit Show Me. Show Me was one of the 3 radio friendly cuts that were on the album. Master P lent a hand in production of course. The remake is filled with rawness of course. Mia X did a good job.
Somethin New featured Devin The Dude and No Limit Top Dogg Snoop Dogg when he was in his prime. Somethin New was a funky smooth cut with the loopy Devin The Dude to add in with the quirkiness.
I rate this album, Sista Stories, 4/5****!
