Buyer Reviews :
The Murderers now deemed as the Inc. drops a well timed collaboration album. At the time Ja Rule is running the hip hop scene with his voice on numerous hit singles that are out now. Aint It Funny, Down A$$ Chick just to name a few and the lead single off the album Down For U which features Ashanti, Vita, and Charli Baltimore. Not to mention Ashanti tearing it up with 'Happy' and her album doing well. There is no way to escape the INC.

If you heard Down For U and liked that song then prepare to be surprised. This album is more of what the first Murderers cd was. Hard beats and very little radio ready songs. This is good because we have heard just about all we can hear from them in a short time. This is basically the INC going back to the streets where it should be. There aint no Ja Rule singing all over the place (save for the single, not that its that bad anyways) no pop singles, no pop radio friendly beats. Just hard hitting Venni Vetti Vecci/ Murderers production.

Murder Inc. consists of Ja Rule, Vita, Ashanti, Charli Baltimore, Cadillac Tah, and a lot of other no names. The INC. should have just stuck with those five as the top people doing the songs. Instead they get the other rappers on the label like Ronnie Bumps, Chink Santana, DO, Merc, O-1 and Jody Mack to spit over the beats. None of them are special either and they all are basically wack. Not wack to the point of unlistenable but wack in the sense that they don't stand out on the songs and are sorta just there.
And to add to that the major players on the INC don't even rhyme that much. Ja Rule is only on 4 songs and two of them are Aint It Funny and Down For U.
Vita is only on TWO songs! What the eff is that about? She needs more mic time because she is the best female MC to come out in a while. She is the best in the game right now (Until Free's album drops at least) and her album has been coming out since the last Murderers cd...
Charli Baltimore is only on 3 songs as is Ashanti. Cadillac Tah gets ample time however. But don't get me wrong its not as if the other players are plain out horrible its just that the major talent would sound better over the tracks. I just think they should have utilized their talent better.

The best songs occur when at least two of the starting five are together. Down For U, Aint It Funny, Gangstafied, No Ones Does It Better. We Still Don't Give A is the sequel to the hit off the first cd We don't Give A. The two rappers that made that song hype, Ja Rule & Vita, make no appearance here. Irv Gotti what are you thinking? The song is still tight it's just that it would be even better with them on it. My favorite song is The Pledge with Ashanti & Cadillac Tah. It samples Tupac's So Many Tears beat but guess what...it does it justice. It in NO WAY destroys a classic...as a matter of fact this is a classic all in itself. Ride Wit Us is a tight jam and so is The Rain with its 'aint gon hurt nobody' vibe. Here We Come w/Vita is a tight song as well. And a collaboration with Tha Row members Eastwood & Crooked I is icing on the cake, but why not put Ja Rule on the track too?

Overall a great cd, but not as great as it could have been. More playing time from the main players would have made this an instant classic because the beats are there...the other rhymers just aren't. This album is in no way a flop and I would recommend this cd for real. Have I steered you wrong before?
