It'd been far too long since Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. reared their collective menacing heads around the scene. After disappearing for several years, the clan regrouped with a monster of a record in West Koasta Nostra. It's a welcome return for the group, whose production skills and lyrical delivery are as fierce as ever. Aside from having an average of three guests per track, Mack 10, Kurupt, and Knoc-Turn'al all make strong appearances that rival deliveries on their own respective albums, but it's Cypress Hill's B Real and Eminem's appearance on "911" that unquestionably makes the track the crown jewel of West Koasta Nostra.

CD Reviews
West Koasta Nostra
11/18/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is not only the best Boo Yaa album but one of the best albums to come outta the west in a long time. A lot of the rappers outta the west go commercial to get radio play. True legends dont need no radio play to sell records. The Tribe is keepin it real as always and representin who they really are and what they believe in. The whole album is bangin. Ya dont got it ya better go get it. They got the Gawtti clothing line krackin' too. Doin the thang. Keep representin Damus. Fa'a Samoa."

"After watching the included DVD in West Koasta Nostra, I truly believe these big Samoans can put the west back together again. Its not only their intimidating size advantage but their musical skills also. Ive been following Boo ya since theyre "Psycho funk" (1st album) days and this is THE BEST CD to date! Let me tell you, if Boo ya doesnt go mainstream with this CD then the music industry has some big problems because I know alot of musicians (Rap or any other genre) that dont deserve mainstream credibility. If its because they are Samoan, and not many people in this country know what a Samoan is, then that is pure ignorance to not market a group because of their race and not their musical talents. Im telling you, nobody will look at a gangsta the same way after they met a Samoan in person or even better, watch them on the included West Koasta DVD in the comfort of your own home (save your dry pants for a rainy day). My girlfriend doesnt like rap but this CD turned her head and now she admits this CD will cross her over along with others who listen to it because of its funky beats and smooth but rough lyrics. All we need is a bunch of Samoans in the south to start a dirty south group, that would be the Sh*t! Boo ya is the best buy for your buck. Get it now!!"
This is a great release from the Boo Yaa TRIBE

"Boo Yaa TRIBE, the big, bad-ass Samoan brothers have unleashed a great album, their biggest, most BANGIN' album ever. Godfather, Kobra, Monsta O, Ganxsta Ridd, Murder One, & Gawtti, have attracted the help of G-funk producer extraordinaire, Battlecat (Snoop, Ice Cube), as well as guest artists Mack 10, WC, Kurupt, the slimmest of all shadies, Eminem, B-Real, Crooked I, Knoc-Turn'al, Kokane, Short Khop, Eastwood and Gail Gotti. That's right, all on one record."

"This Is A Good Album! The BattleCat Beats Are Bumpin', Which Make Up For The Alright Lyrics That Ganxsta Ridd Spits. The Real Highlight Of The Album Is "911" With Eminem & B-Real. Eminem Sets The Standard By Making A Gangsta Beat And Spitting His Usual Unmatched Lyrics But B-Real & Ganxsta Ridd Follow With Power With Their Verses. "Beautiful Thang" Is Another Great Song That Hits Home With Them Oldie Beats And Gangbangin' Flows. Baby Downn Outshines Ridd On This Track And Proves To Be A Future Star On The Westcoast. West Up!! Buy The Album And You Won't Be Disappointed!!"
