The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing - This May Be The Reason Why The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing Cannot Be Killed By Conventional Weapons album review
The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing - This May Be The Reason Why The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing Cannot Be Killed By Conventional Weapons is not your typical Victorian steampunk album. This May Be The Reason Why The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing Cannot Be Killed By Conventional Weapons is one of their more darker morbid albums next to Not Your Typical Victorians. You have quirky dark morbid themes which the band is infamously known for. This band puts the punk in steampunk as always. The sounds of Victorian music and Edwardian music meet punk rock. The album is laced with occult themes.
Victoria's Secret is not an enticing provocative burlesque song about lingerie as the title would indicate to have you believe. Victoria's Secret is Victoria's Secret is about former British Queen Victoria whose role in the song is Queen Victoria the Necromancer. This was the morbid themed opener for the album.
The song Victoria's Secret was about Queen Victoria resurrecting her beau His Majesty Prince Albert to be by her side using all manners of voodoo and witchcraft. Only Prince Albert has been resurrected as a zombie and is hungry for commoner's brains.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria couldn't let go when death came calling for her beau His Majesty Prince Albert. She tried
all manners of voodoo and witchcraft to bring back her Albert to be by her side. Now Prince Albert is back. But Prince Albert has changed! Prince Albert is hungry for commoner's brains! He has been resurrected as a zombie. He is now Zombie Albert! This is Victoria's secret.
This is Queen Victoria's shame. Victoria's secret went down in the cellar. He's hungry again. She says she can cope if she doesn't know their names. She dresses in black so it won't show the stains. Victoria's secret is Victoria's curse. Prince Albert is dead now but he still walks the Earth. She says that she loves him despite all the rot. He might not be perfect. But he's all that she's got! Screams are heard throughout the night!
Free Spirit is about a modern day tale a lady named Elsie who lived as a free spirit who did whatever she wanted whenever she pleased as she led and lived a carefree life.
Elsie never cared much for the convictions of life as she led and lived a carefree life. She did whatever she wanted whenever she pleased. Preferring the example set by Shelly and his wife. Inspired by Lupiron and his luscious ways she slept her way through London in an opiate haze. She's a free spirit. You could lace her in a corset but you won't keep her in it. These things the likes society just won't allow. But she's going to do them anyhow. She could not care less. Driven by desire. Unfettered by taboo.
Sadly Elsie died in childbirth at the age of 31. She floated up to heaven. When Saint Peter met her outside the pearly gates. She said, "I'm off to have some fun now. Tell the lord he'll have to wait." Now she haunts all of London Town and she takes great delight. Exposing herself to give the folk a fright. There is no scarier sight than Elsie ghostly lady parts glowing in the night. She's a free spirit. You could put her in a grave but you won't keep her in it.
Poor Georgie is about an accidentally taxidermied son. The Nanny in charge of taking care of Georgie some how accidentally taxidermied him.
What has become of poor Georgie? What has happened to him? He's covered in lumps and unnatural bumps. There’s a waxy sheen to his skin. He wasn't like this when the nanny left him. She had only been gone for a day. Why didn't he react when she got back? What games did the Nanny play?
People cannot disguise their disgust. He isn't just tired. He's clearly expired. Poor Georgie's been stuffed. And it’s not even good taxidermy. His heads all lob-sided and thin. He's got 2 glass eyes of different sizes and there’s wire poking out of his chin. He'll never grow old. He'll never again misbehave.
5/5*****!!

Parlormuse - It's Not the Coat Makes the Gentleman album review
Parlormuse - It's Not the Coat Makes the Gentleman is a fine example of Victorian style Americana folk music with a historical steampunk sound. Parlormuse rekindles the faded embers of the Victorian era while bringing its own modern rock and pop stylings to the traditions of yesteryear. This album will take you for a nostalgic journey through the popular music of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still is about a woman’s bright smile that still haunts Parlormuse dauntingly to this very day.
Parlormuse met this woman last year. They may not meet again. He has struggled to forget. But the struggle was in vain or her voice lives on the breeze. And her spirit comes at will in the midnight on the seas. Her bright smile haunts him still.
At the first sweet dawn of light when he gaze upon the deep, her form still greets his sight while the stars their vigils keep. Sweet dreams fill his senses. He will arise from his slumber. He has seen the storm arise. Like a giant in wrath. Every danger he has known that a reckless life can fill. Yet her presence is not flown.
McCarthy's Boarding House is about a boarding house that a man named Dan McCarthy owns and operates.
Dan McCarthy lives on Cherry Street. He keeps a boarding house that is so neat. Five dollars a week is the rent that is paid to him. They feed tenants and residents high in McCarthy’s boarding house on lobster salad and lemon pie. Quail on toast, eggs, and ham. Corned beef, cabbage, and Italian jam in McCarthy’s boarding house.
Dan McCarthy bought a new piano for his boarding house. That piano was originally a gift for his elegant daughter Big Johanna. She’s the girl who knows how to play piano. She’d drive your appetite away.
The Spectral Bride is about a ghostly paranormal encounter Parlormuse has with a ghost bride. There’s a seraphic grace with this song with the abnormal mood.
Parlormuse saw her at the hour of midnight when all around was sad and still. She flitted over the lawn by moonlight and climbed the distant hill. She had an air of grace seraphic. A form surpassing fair. A wandering mist by moonbeams kissed. She seemed a thing of air.
But once, when by the village fireside, Parlormuse heard the grandames tell a tale. About a lad and love born maiden who erst with them did dwell. That death unsparingly had borne the lad away. And the maiden left with mind bereft of reason’s ready play. That as the chill of death came over him. Then he calmly smiled and died. He called his loved one to his side and spoke that none but her might hear him. Though rumors light hint that at night. She sometimes meets his shade.

Parlormuse - Grinning at the Daisy Roots album review
Parlormuse - Grinning at the Daisy Roots is one of the more darker morbid albums from Parlormuse with a sense of more melancholy. The perfect soundtrack for Halloween. Parlormuse - Grinning at the Daisy Roots is a fine example of Victorian style Americana folk music with a historical steampunk sound. Parlormuse rekindles the faded embers of the Victorian era while bringing its own modern rock and pop stylings to the traditions of yesteryear. This album will take you for a nostalgic journey through the popular music of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
The Ghost of the Violin told the ghostly paranormal tale of how a ghost played a violin.
In a quaint old antique store for a 1,000 years or more, laid a musty dusty violin. Suddenly a ghost appeared. The ghost played upon the violin in a wild and weird manner! The ghost owned a violin. He made his violin moan in a weepy creepy tone! The ghost of the violin.
The ghost played the violin. His boney fingers are shivering. Each moan just sets me quivering! Don’t make a sound or he’ll know we’re around. His eyes have a mournful glare. His cried haunt me everywhere. He’s here. He’s there! Keep away from the ghost of the violin.
Pretty soon the tale went around that a weird old ghost was found with a moaning groaning violin. Every night when 12 would chime, people made it meeting time and they’d creep from their sleep to the violin. They’d whisper soft and low as the ghost would wield his bow. The ghost played the violin. His boney fingers are shivering. Each moan just sets me quivering!
Under the Daisies explained how Parlormuse learned the sad lesson of loving all of its powers for pleasure or pain. The life of some is worse than death.
Parlormuse has just been learning the lesson of life. The sad lesson of loving, and all of its powers for pleasure or pain. Been slowly and sadly proving.
And all that’s left of the bright, bright dream, with its thousand brilliant phases is a handful of dust, in a coffin hid under the daisies. A coffin under the daisies. The beautiful snowy Daisies. And thus forever throughout this wide world is love a sorrow proving. There are still many sorrowful things in life but the saddest of all is loving.
The life of some is worse than death. For fate a high wall often raises. And far better than life with two hearts estranged is a low grave starred with daisies. And so it is better we lived as we did. For the saddest of love is love grown cold. And is one of its surest phases.

The Gentlemen's Anti-Temperance League - Millennial Blues album review
The Gentlemen's Anti-Temperance League - Millennial Blues is the Millennial’s answer to gypsy jazz and blues for the 21st century. Think jazz and blues with a touch of Western swing. The album has some thought-provoking and provocative songs. Mariner's Daughter is a sweet swing jazz songs with lyrics sweet like cotton candy but not too bitter. Wholesome is one word to describe that song. The Count of Cagliostro is one of the more mystical magical songs.
Mariner's Daughter is about a mariner's daughter who loves swimming in the Earth’s seas. Mariner's Daughter is a sweet swing jazz songs with lyrics sweet like cotton candy but not too bitter.
The girl said the sea is what she is missing. These are the tides that she is and has been longing for. She likes the Earth. The sea fills her wants and needs. And fills her earthly desires.
Stella is a song about a singer named Stella who left her family to follow her dreams to become a singer. But she knew to chase your dreams and she had to try
Stella was a singer who was born to roam. She left behind a family to follow her dreams. She left behind a baby and a man back home. She traded her ring for the long and lonely road. But she knew to chase your dreams and she had to try. Lovers called her wicked when she said her goodbyes. Stella made her way down to New Orleans.
Lovers are cheap. They come and they go. But music lasts longer than some old dry bones. Don’t waste your time dragging the deep blue sea. Ladies, there’s more to life than meeting the man of your dreams.

Jessica Law - Ghostwatching album review
Jessica Law - Ghostwatching is one of the more ghostly paranormal steampunk albums that is seraphic with an abnormal mood. The album uses an edge of steampunk, nu-folk, and dieselpunk. But her album mostly relies on the steampunk sound.
This is Not a Place of Honour was inspired by the signs around nuclear waste sites. This is Not a Place of Honour explained how places with dark controversial history are not places to honour but to steer clear. The song is eerie and beautiful. This is a message of danger.
5 metres underground near Castle Park. Here lies a bunker. 35 berth and a speech from the Queen mourning a disfigured Earth. There is nothing of value here. This is a message of danger. This is not a place of honour. Steer clear. This is a place of fear. A nuclear bunker near Castle Park in Cambridge was constructed due to the Cold War and is equipped with air purification, a broadcast room, a Faraday cage to protect the electrics, and an airlock with blast doors at either end.
Close to the coast lies an island only accessible by boat. There is nothing of value here because this place is foul to its core. Foul to its core with a deadly disease busted on flocks of sheep that would have been used in the war if it hadn’t ended before. Steer clear from this place. This is not a place of honour. Gruinard Island (off the coast of Scotland) was used as a testing site for anthrax as a bioweapon during World War II. 80 sheep died and the island was quarantined due to contamination. It has been decontaminated but burnt in an “apocalyptic” fire in 2022.
Jessica tells us there is no such thing as magic on No Such Thing as Magic. She explains how she is just a mortal who happens to write and compose music.
The winds that scatter us around have landed Jessica Law within your town. Let’s congregate while we’re united by the fates.You’ve only seen her on the stage in disguise and you clearly had rendered her strange. You learn too late that Jessica Law is not actually from space. She hates to blow your mind. But she is just a mortal who happens to write and she’ll never be enough for you. She’ll always be too good to be true. If you can’t have the stars, then you won’t have the moon. And you’ve found out Jessica Law is not magic after all.
It’s been a year you’ve been alone. Are you sufficiently worn down? Enough to contemplate the offer that she made. You’ll always want too much of her. What you want isn’t real. There’s no such thing as magic after all.
These are the most poetic lyrics to the song.
I learn the taste of angels’ breath
And the temporary death
And the metallic tang of coming round again
I hold the Starchild in my hand
Introduce him to the band
And incrementally I shrug off all my chains

Jessica Law - The Littlest Libertine album review
Jessica Law - The Littlest Libertine is one of the calmer more subtle sounding album from steampunk artist Jessica Law. Freak folk meets bluegrass, musical theatre, nu-folk, and steampunk on this album of hers.
Jessica orated about how she had that dream again where the sweet melancholy infuses her brain on School for Lost Souls. It's all got a bit Sisyphean.
Jessica had that dream again where the sweet melancholy infuses her brain even after she wakes. The sun through the branches is still clear in her mind. And she knows that she’ll find it someday. And she’ll run her hands over the sharp granite stones. But in waking. Not just in repose. It's only a short bus ride outside the town. If she only knew which road she chose.
The bad times are coming. Jessica can feel it in her bones. Every which way folks are running. Vying for jobs and for homes. Wouldn't it be nice to lie back and let it pass you by? It's all got a bit Sisyphean. But she has dreamed of a place where they try.
Sometimes Jessica catches a glimpse of something familiar that reminds her of a place she has not seen. It's there for a moment. Then is gone just as fast. But she’ll know when she finds it at last. Peace will surround Jessica as she drifts into sleep. Her worries dissolving like snow. Nature around her and bedrock beneath.
What is this ghost Jessica is pursuing? Jessica spends all her time searching the satellite towns. Jessica doesn't tell her friends what she is doing. She would never live it down. If she only knew which way to go. But at night she lie and listens to distant cars on roads. She wonders where they are all going and if they pass the school for lost souls.
The Littlest Libertine was about a girl Jessica knew that was trying so hard to be pretty and elegant. In fact she was trying too hard.
Jessica once knew a girl. Every night for her was a mission of ruby stilettos and silk sequined gowns. She said, "They say that love is a war of attrition. But I'm the one getting worn down with too many days spent selecting my clothes and too many let downs from too many rogues. And I'll soon be so ruined by glamour it can't be reversed. In short, I am cursed."
And Jessica said, "Little Libertine, eating crème brûlée for breakfast doesn't qualify you for Rosetti's scene. So paint you nails maroon. But supplementing sentences with French won't bring the Belle Époque back very soon. But still you float on some Fauxhemian breeze 'til real penury brings you down to your knees. And the next thing you know, you go searching through wardrobes to find your most valuable shoes."
Jessica tells her, "And there's really no glamour to selling your heels. No style to strategically spacing your meals
So you don't have to spend any money on buying more food. In short, you are screwed."
Jessica also said, "You think decadence decayed you, but your slate was never marred enough to strike it clean. So shed your silk and lace. Oscar Wilde or Baudelaire would never bat an eyelid at your painted face. From your tiny debaucheries, all you have learned. If one clever tip for the stylish Flâneur turn up over-dressed to mundane situations and under-dressed to those that count. And they'll think you're involved in a scandal they've not heard about.”
5/5*****!

Alec Haavik & The Shanghai Shindiggers album review
The self-titled album by Alec Haavik & The Shanghai Shindiggers is one of Shanghai’s most brilliant jazz albums of all time possibly. Enjoy the rhythm and sound as The Shanghai Shindiggers takes you on an adventure in the rhythm of swing! The album draws influences from ragtime to swing. The band was inspired by the innovations of Miles Davis and Teo Macaro. Chinese musical instruments are used on the majority of the songs.
Bitches Brew of Swing was inspired by the innovations of Miles Davis and Teo Macaro, in which the recording studio is used as an environment for the musicians to create raw materials of music, to be re-assembled in new and surprising ways.
Find My Phone is an instrumental jazz composition that told the sad story of a woman who loses her phone. She follows the map to her phone’s last known location, but her phone is not there. Dejected, she returns home. But she keeps checking the app all day and all night. And the icon showing the last known location keeps blinking at her, until, suddenly, it’s gone.
Broadway Boogie Woogie used some boogie pop over a swing jazz background. The song was about an art teacher named Melvin Minthorne who once taught Jada Lee. Melvin Minthorne, this one's for you.
The only downside is that Jada Lee’s singing was off at certain points in the songs specifically the beginning. She hit it too hard on the high note and the medium note. However the instrumentation makes up for the vocals.
Jada Lee was taken out of class on every Friday afternoon. The teacher Melvin Minthorne said, “I want you to use your imagination to see this painting. I saw a glamorous woman with her hair done up in cascading curls. Whirling in a spin propelled by an unseen partner the blur of the Broadway lights. Catching the glint in her eye. Broadway Boogie Woogie. What does it mean to you?”
Near the end of June as everyone patiently waited for school bells waited to ring, all he gave his students was a title. Not even that it was a Mondrian masterpiece at MOMA.

Joel Zighel - Down On Jones Street album review
Joel Zighel - Down On Jones Street is one of the more overlooked independent jazz pop albums of 2020. This album is similar to nu-jazz. The album is quite claiming at that in spite of the loud vibrant production. Quality of his vocals are crystal clear undoubtedly. This is an album you do definitely not want to miss out on listening.
Katerina's Smile is about a deceiving woman who misleads people. In her case she often mistreats men.
Katerina got her picture in the paper. It's nothing but the same old lies. She was always a stranger to her neighbors. Though she never treated them unkind. You had a temporary thrill as she responded to your wandering hands. Now you're feeling quite a chill because you don't figure in her future plans. Don't you pay no mind to what the woman will do. Katerina's smile was not for you.
She's never lonely. Katerina has got no one and only. She's satisfied with her own ways. You can spot her where the leisure's starting and the client always pays. She's got an appointment later on with a connection from her newest crowd. Speculation's running wild but you will never hear the truth out loud. Don't you pay no mind to what the woman will do.
You saw the sun shining through her eyes. You were nothing short of mesmerized in ecstasy. Now you're acting so surprised. The woman's moving on. So why live in memory?
The song San Lorenzo Suite is about Joel searching for the source of love. Do you know where the love grows? Do you know the way to San Lorenzo?
Joel goes to San Lorenzo, Italy to search for the source of love. He was told to see a man named Enzo. He will tell him where the lovers hide. Enzo tells Joel that there's a shady beach near San Lorenzo where the lovers lie awake all day. Where chilling wine and smoking innuendos are the pieces in the game we play.
Enzo tells Joel, “Welcome stranger, we're so glad to see you. You say you're searching for the source of love? Have a seat, I'm certain we can free you from this misconception you speak of. You should know where the love is grown.”
So Joel goes to go through San Lorenzo, Italy to search for the source of love up the fine Italian coast a fine Italian road car. He will find him where the lovers hide. The sun is shining Adriatic blue reflecting from the Adriatic Sea. If he keeps his eye upon his lodestar, is there anything that he can't do?
Call It A Win explained why Joel wasn’t happy as he ought to be because the girl he loved didn’t respond back to him in a timely manner. But he’s gonna call it a win.
Joel picked a plum right of the tree. But he’s not as happy as he ought to be. It's not half of what it could have been. But he’s gonna call it a win. She didn't write writ Joel or call him on the phone. He didn't stay up dreaming of her half the night It's not quite as stellar as it might have been. But he’s gonna call it a win.
Restless hearts don't need a home. Just two feet to roam. No subtle art shall we require when simple things inspire. Now the hour is late. The time is nigh. They’re not quite as sober as they might have been. When the story's told he’s gonna call it a win.
Pull up a stool at a neighborhood saloon. You'll be certain to find some action soon with the song Queen of Souls. Joel sings how about he drowns away his sorrows with whiskey.
It’s Sunday night in this old familiar town. The party's over, but there's something going down. Pull up a stool at a neighborhood saloon. You'll be certain to find some action soon.
A lady is looking for someone she used to know. Clever culprits want to star in her show. It's not quite winter and it's not quite spring. Joel is just waiting to see what the seasons bring. Whiskey and time clear his head of the old. He’d stay here with you lovely sirens sipping wine. But he is searching for the queen of souls.
The sidewalk spinning like a tawdry carousel through purgatory to the pearly gates of hell. He shot the apple from the head of William Tell. But he still can't remember where he fell.
Joel explains what goes on down at Jones Street on the song Down On Jones Street. He sings about who playing the finest jazz music in town. When the music's right down on Jones Street, there is nowhere you'd rather be.
Another week is gone. And you soldier on in this grind up town. It gets you down. There's this Joni tune about this horn playing man playin on the street and he sounds so sweet. You've been searching for that sound. Since you came. You never saw that dude. Never heard him play. And you're so over it. You might be miles away. But this one cafe is where the local cats play right down on Jones Street. Playin' real good for free. When the music's right down on Jones Street, there is nowhere you'd rather be.
Another year is gone. You're staying on in this strange hotel that you know so well. There's a mystery clock on the penthouse floor. But you can't read its hands from the basement door. Though you've been trying to tell that time since you came, you never heard it tick never held its chain.

Att Will - Do It Att Will album review
Att Will - Do It Att Will was one of the most overlooked Compton rap albums of 1993 did not get much recognition or exposure it deserved. The album is laced with hard G-Funk beats and sensuous rhythms. This is classic gangster music that can certified as gangsta rap. Many consider this album to be a classic. A majority of his debut album was produced by DJ Battlecat. However there were some songs that were produced by Lo-Down.
Hoe Hopper was the legendary rap song originally performed by Att Will. During the recording of the album "Do It Att Will", Will played tracks for Dr. Dre, with Hoe Hopper being one of them. This resulted in Dre not only liking Will, but also the song. Will was then offered a contract at Death Row Records, but would turn it down. Dr. Dre would go on to record his own version of Hoe Hopper.
Att Will is on the mic to rap about the bitches. He’ll take them in a skirt or a dress. Att Will will find his easy access. He was a pussy hog. He done fucked so many hoes in bed 'til no flows. Don't get mad if he wants to screw your best friend too. He’s got plenty of hoes. He don't need all these bitches bleedin' for the dickfeed. Att Will is not draggin' just to get a piece because he is easily cocked. Pussy is mandatory. Bitches wanna jock for the fame and glory. If he sees a hoe he likes, then he will jock. But here's a name Att Will goes by when he’s rolling around. The Hoe Hopper.
These are the most quotable and hilarious lyrics to the song.
Pussy is mandatory
Bitches wanna jock for the fame and glory
Pussy, monkey, moose, twat, cock or whatever
I know you like it 'cause my mouth is on your titty with snow
I wanna make you cum, so I real starts to flow it like the rhythm of my rhyme
All up in you like a jalapeño makin' you sweat
Just Another Day In Compton chronicled every day life in Compton, California in a gangsta rap manner rapped by Att Will. This song was a classic that played in constant rotation in the Compton underground.
Att Will is peepin' out the window as the brothers begin. It’s just another day in the hub in the city of Compton, California. It's time to make some ends. He is wiping the shit out his eyes. He opens up the closet door. His gear is on the racks and all his shoes are on the floor. Att Will believes in lookin' nice and dougie makin' the ladies wanna hug him. So he’s not rolling around Compton like a thug because niggas kill you for a dress code. Those are the niggas stuck in stupid mode.
Att Will is always wondering when he leave, will he make it home? But you can't always worry. So he gets dressed in a hurry. Because life wouldn't be the same without a little bit of danger to keep it bumpin'. It's just another day in Compton.
Att Will heads outside because it's time to go. He sees his niggas on the corner Greenleaf and Cuzco (East Greenleaf Boulevard and South Cuzco Avenue). Then next place he goes to is at Big Time Liquor Store at 1516 South Long Beach Boulevard. He grabs himself a couple of brews from Big Time Liquor Store. Then he macks into a hoe and grabs her a brew just like that because she's a hood rat. He’s gotta go because a tossup ain't his type. She's a hype.
It's Saturday. Att Will calls his homie and asks "What's the haps?" He said, "I'm on Spruce by my mom's house shooting craps." Att Will says, “I'm on my way. I'm crossing the Willowbrook tracks past the big white Compton Court Building and I just might hit a left to Indigo and grab another sack.”
Att Will is crossing the Willowbrook tracks at South Willowbrook Avenue past the big white Compton Court Building and. South Acacia Avenue (Acacia Blocc) is kinda hot with the law. So Att Will busts back through town down Alondra Boulevard until it hits South Wilmington Avenue. It's almost 2 PM and he ain't fired up his weed yet.
Att Will got fools hittin' him up like they don't know him. But he was like that, too, with nothin' better to do than drink a brew and roll around with the gangsta crew. So he ignored the straight flowin' past the ponz. Then he crossed Alondra Boulevard rolling past the Wilmington Arms. That's when he wondered how these brothers sit around in the city doin' nothin'. It’s just another day in Compton.
He picked up Lo-Down. Dancing niggas are about to throw down over a bitch looking tossed up and towed down. So he jumps in. But first Att Will has gotta hit Speed's house and get his gat. He’s rolling past a park. Niggas are shooting dice and playing ball. And ain't no writing on the walls.
So they stop and check out his nigga Speed. They ended up playing domino's, calling hoes, and smoking weed. But just then Att Will got a page from a friend. There's a party at the Compton Ramada and they are all invited.
Att Will said, "We'll be there." But they need something to wear. They can't hit the Compton Swap Meet because the whole party's there. So they jet to the mall to get some gear and get dressed by nine with rump shakers on the mind.
They arrive at the destination at 10 PM. Lo-Down is drinking 750 IL gin. They see a crowd of hoes. So they know it's on with the hoe hoppin' and panty droppin'. They get inside the bar where they see his nigga Jinx. It’s time to mack. The party's on.
Next thing you know it's time to go because the night is gone. It's funny how time flies when you’re having fun. There wasn't a strap and nobody pulled out a gun. Another day in Compton, yo.
Show 'Em How It's Done is a hard ass gritty gangsta rap song which has some fonky ass flow. Nothing can beat 90s rap. This song has one of the best hardcore beats of 1993. Att Will shows them how it’s done of this song.
5/5*****!

Silkk The Shocker - No Rules album review
Some of you No Limit fans out there may remember a soundtrack for the movie called “No Rules” which was advertised in the album Silkk The Shocker – My World, My Way back in early 2000. This was to be one of No Limit Films many hip hop inspired action movies executive produced and directed by Master P. Thanks to Silkk’s prominent roles in movies such as I Got the Hook-Up, Hot Boyz, and Corrupt, he had a fledgling career as an actor. He had buckled down more since his own future is in his own hands.
This No Limit Films movie was a hip hop inspired action movie which Silkk plays the role of a gambler and a hustler who swindles people out of their money illicitly. There are no rules in this game. Anything goes in this world where Silkk resides. No Rules had a similar tone, setting, climax, and feeling which was similar to the Hunger Games movie.
Pen N Pixel designed the artwork for the cover as they did all of No Limit Films movie posters back in the 1990s and 2000s. The caption in all red bold letters read, “NO RULES” IN THIS WORLD, ANYTHING GOES
Silkk The Shocker – My World, My Way was the only album where the movie “No Rules” was ever advertised. The movie was never advertised anywhere else.
However the album was never released because the movie itself was never released. No Rules was one of No Limit Films many hip hop inspired action movies which never got released next to Hoop Fighter and The Down Low. This was because Master P has shifted his focus on producing the Lockdown movie instead because that was his initial focus at the time he signed the deal. So Master P halted the production on No Rules and canceled the movie in early 2001.
There was a higher demand for Lockdown as that movie was promoted heavily from 1998-2001. Fans were looking forward to seeing Lockdown than they was No Rules or Hoop Fighter. Hoop Fighter was hardly promoted at all while Lockdown and I’m Bout It were heavily promoted.
Silkk the Shocker - Our Corner is notable for having a crazy hard hook over a G-Funk sound and some whistles. One of the hardest lines in the song was "Fuck with No Limit niggaz, end up as organ donors" and that’s on the real. The song originally appeared as a bonus track on the How Ya Do Dat single. Silkk the Shocker - Our Corner later appeared on the 2015 digital release No Limit East Emmett Dove Files.
