Additional personnel: Big Dreamer, Snapp, Lil Dreamer, Snapps, Mr. Capone-E, Mr. Criminal, ODM, Scrappy-Loco, Snapper , Wicked Willie (rap vocals). Old-school grooves laced with thuggish Latino prose courtesy of 2002's fiercest underground MCs makes this one of the better efforts in a long list of Hi Power compilations. Issued on Thump Records in cooperation with Hi Power, this collection predominantly features rhymes from labelmates Mr. Criminal and Mr. Capone-E. Other prominent "SouthSide Academy" principals like Snapper and Lil Dreamer add a stark gangsta flavor of their own to Hi Power 2002. Cuts like Mr. Criminal's "If Your Bitch Chose Me" have a down-tempo, West Coast production that's distinctively ruthless and laid-back simultaneously. Mr. Capone-E's take on the priceless sound of silence "Gangster Don't Talk" counts as another standout. Grittier and more confrontational than many more established and commercial hip-hop ventures, this Chicano rap collection paints a bold picture of the emerging genre's legitimate bad boys and their manic lifestyle. ~ Vincent Jeffries   Compilation Appearances Lst Man Standing (Explicit Version) Hi Power 2002 (Explicit Version) Dedicated 2 The Oldies (Explicit Version) Southsider Smokeout (Explicit Version) All Eyes On Me (Explicit Version) Hipowermusic Com (w/ Bonus DVD) (Explicit Version) Gangster Love Vol 2 (Explicit Version) Hi Power Book 5 (Explicit Version) Live In Japan Soundtrack Sur Side Riders 2 (Explicit Version) Dia De Los Muertos(Explicit Version) Chicano Rap Bangers (Explicit Version) Thugs Revenge (Explicit Version) Thugs Revenge Lowrider Music(Explicit Version) Most Requested (Explicit Version) Don't Get It Twisted(Explicit Version) Hi Power Book 6 0906 Gangster Love Madness Book Seven:new Deal (compliation Hi P(Explicit Version) Dedicated 2 The Oldies Part 2(Explicit Version) East Side Mix Tape Thug World Still Connected(Explicit Version) Thugz Nation(Explicit Version) La Chicano Rap Gangsters(Explicit Version) Mr Capone E Love Jams(Explicit Version) Summertime In The Varrio(Explicit Version) Hi Power 2009 Voices Of Chicano Rap(Explicit Version) Diary Of A G(Explicit Version)   Associated Artists and Works Live In Japan Soundtrack ~ Mr. Capone-E Summertime in the Barrio [PA] ~ Various Artists Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 08/13/2002 Original Release Date : 2002 Catalog ID : 2065790872 Label : Thump Records Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 57m : 7s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00720657908725
