Silkk the Shocker isn't the most gifted of the Miller brothers (Master P and C-Murder are his siblings), either in his generic-as-they-wanna-be lyrics or in his lumpy-like-day-old-oatmeal flow. Yet the hits keep coming, as... more » the solid if uneventful Beats by the Pound production crew provides enough bouncy loops and catchy choruses to keep Silkk's head above water. Most notable are the down-tempo stories related on "Give Me the World" and "Mama Always Told Me." But when it comes to No Limit, an ounce of bounce is worth far more than a pound of gloom; it's "I'm a Soldier," the token posse cut on the record, that achieves its purpose best. Laced with a quick-paced, raw funk, it reaffirms the universal particularities of the NL sound. --Jon Caramanica« less

"I'm sorry but Silkk da Shocker can't rapp at all. All he do is scream. I really don't mean to player hate, but he can't rapp. The only songs I like by him were "IT AIN"T MY FAULT" and "LET ME HIT IT". That's only because Mystikal was in it;which Mystikal help bring Silkk's voice. I'm sorry,but he can't rapp and that's the bottom line.Also I don't see why girls go crazy over him. He's not all that,but Mystikal is sorry.Also let me get supmtin' strait I'm not a music fan of Silkk da Shocker,but I'm a fan of Mystikal."
3.5 star 2nd solo album -- his best solo effort

"A year and a hlf since his debut, Silkk returns with his sophomore effort, and unlike most 2nd albums, it is his best one. Like all No Limit releases around that time, guests are all over the album, but this is better as Silkk probably couldn't carry the whole album himself, and only 6 don't have guests and most of these aren't too good. Packed with 18 songs, it has 1 - 3 almost classics songs, 6 I skip, 6 ok ones, and the rest are good. Production is great on some songs and so so on others and is handled all by the Beats by the Pound Crew. Craig B & Mo B Dick each do 5 songs, O'Dell does 4, and KLC & Carlos Stephens each do 2. A good album to have for his fans or fans of late 90's No Limit music.

A Great No Limit CD!!

"This is Silkk's best CD!! All the good songs are,"I'm A Soldier","Give me the World","Throw Yo Hood Up","If I Don't Gotta","We Can Dance","Who Can I Trust,"It Ain't My Fault", and "Who I Be". Go get this CD!!"
"Positives: This is the album that got me into No Limit once upon a time. Not too sure if that's a positive thing either. However, this is a good album. It has the some of the characteristics of the typical NL CD but it was before things got to assembly line status. Of course, there are bad songs on this record. The number of good ones will surprise you if you actually listen to it though. "If I Don't Gotta" is one of those songs I love to listen to when I'm feeling depressed. "Mama Always Told Me" has an Eightball feature tucked in the end that is really cool. Other songs like "Who Can I Trust" & "Me And You" are good songs too. Negative: Of course, being a NL release has its downsides. The bad choruses, the features that may not work too well with the rest of the album. Not all the songs are good, you have to pick and choose. Silkk also has a kind of choppy style that occasionally leaves the beat. Some might see this as his trademark while others might see it as a trademark of a bad rapper. Either way, it's something different. I'd like to see Silkk leave No Limit but chances are slim. Made Man after this one is a lot worse. Hardly any good tracks. If you want decent No Limit, look to the past and not the future."
