Notes & Personnel Info |  | Brad Johnson is originally from The Geto Boys, the rap trio who put Houston on the map. In this dark and brooding collection, written as a very personal diary, over the course of 15 tracks Johnson sets the record straight. | | The title track takes us from the rapper's conception to his emergence from the womb, relating how he's the last of his truly tormented kind, while in "Look Into My Eyes" he admits the horrible truths of his past and laments that people can't look past that and move on. "Down With Us" lets his influence in the music industry be known, while "O.G. 2 Me" runs down the real meaning of Original Gangster. "Conspiracy Theory" tells of a Mafia set up gone wrong, the informer caught and brought to justice, Houston style. In "My Time" Johnson knows he's running out of time and considers a born again lifestyle--whether he achieves redemption or not, with LAST OF A DYING BREED he's made a compelling album. |
