This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Flipside Hustla’s by J-Bone. Flipside Hustla’s by J-Bone came out on cassette only in 1993 on U Be U Records again due to grammar error that need corrections.
Intro To A Killa is the longest intro on an album/EP I have ever heard. Most of Intro To A Killa is random shout outs and chanting over an annoying jazz saxophone note. The intro gets annoyingly repetitive and a head trip to listen to after the 4 minute mark.
Insanity Avenue starts off wiht a catchy nome de plume bassline. An overbearing jazz saxophone note is used as the sample hook for Insanity Avenue. The beats are the shit! These are trill ass beats. J-Bone had the best beats in the city at that time.
Murder Zone is a classic example of gangsta rap. Murder Zone is about how the city of Saginaw, Michigan has become a murder zone; in other words a murder capital similar to Baltimore, Chicago, and New Orleans. J-Bone details life of being caught up in a murder zone. The track Murder Zone is about criminal activity and murder of course. Murder Zone is 3 to 4 minutes long.
While this album may have had some annoyingly overbearing samples that have been played out on other rappers albums, J-Bone’s debut album is a somewhat decent effort although some of the lyrics weren’t the best written so far.
(J-Bone was from the East Side as Mack Tha Jacka, Dirty Jerk, and Madam Dane are. The East Side is also known as the Flipside.)
I rate this album, Flipside Hustla’s, 4/5****!
