"Without a doubt, X Raided is the siccest mc in the entire rap game. I have never heard soemone come so raw and from the heart. Even Pac didn't create such a vivid picture with his words as the X Locsta. Even from behind bars, his lyrics are the what is really going on on the streets. Most of the other rappers you here, especially those from the east coast, talk about nonsense. They spend all their energy trying to make "hip hop" in it's original form. In case you haven't noticed, rap has evolved and advanced. A simple beat, sample, and an mc just don't cut it anymore. No one out here in Cali gives a fuck if you think you invented hip hop. Cuzz even if you did, we took it, added some funk and made that shit hella better. Anyway, back to X Raided. This album is a straight masterpiece. Every track is bumpin. He covers all aspects of the game, and all aspects of life. He's been locked up since he was 17 years old. Now he is serving 25- to Life in the pen for murder. X spits THE MOST vicious flows I've ever heard on tracks like WHO IS YALL NIGGAS, MORTAL COMBAT, WHATEVER IT TOOK, SPITTIN VENOM, and MACAFRAMA. Then he brings a deeper aspect to the album with cuts like LAND OF THE LOST, DEAD ON ARRIVAL, and MAMA's PRIDE AND JOY. Dudes in the pen, he's got a lot of shit on his mind, and he lets a lot of it go on this disc. Plus, the production is top notch. Black Market uses a different producer on almost every album, so that's why they are able to keep comin with all these different and original beats and sounds. A lot of people probably don't even know who X Raided is. Don't sleep on him. I've listen to them all. From the BAY to ny. There is no one siccer than RAIDED."

"I've got all three of X-Raided's albums now, and let me tell you, this isn't just his best album yet, it might be the best rap album eva. This is one of very few albums that can be listened to straight through, without skipping any tracks. The album starts off with a song called "MISANTHROPY", which lets you know right away what kind of album it is; raw, uncut, and sicc. "WHATEVER IT TOOK" and "MACAFRAMA" are just two of the songs that stand out on this album. This is his second record from jail, but unlike the "Exorcist", the lyrics where digitally cleaned up so it sounded like he was in the studio. If I could have rated this record with ten stars, I would have!! Hopefully X will keep makin records like this. Buy this CD!!"

My Fav Cd

"By far this is my fav X-Raided album and one of my fav albums in general.Words cant even describe how great and stand out this is.It has so many parts to it that bring the whole cd together.There are songs where he can be serious and be real such as "Mortal Combat","Mama's Pride and Joy","Unforgiven",and "Dead on Arrival".Then there are just the flat out crazy tracks like "Misanthropy",Macaframa","Who is Y'all ..." etc.Overall its really an album to remember.There isnt a bad track on there.Some outshine others but thats only because some of them are almost too good to be true."Mortal Combat" and "Misanthropy" will go down as 2 of my fav songs ever.I was a lil weary to buy this album at first because it was $ at the only store that carried it and i hadn't heard much of it.That was the best money I ever spent.Hopefully this helps others to take a chance and get it.You'll be amazed..."
