| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel includes: Mack 10, K-Dee, Ice Cube, WC (rap vocals). | | Producers: Ice Cube, The 88X Unit, Dr. Jam, Madness 4 Real. | | Mack 10 doesn't come across as an original on his self-titled debut, he comes across as a follower. Over a standard G-funk backdrop, complete with deep bass and whining synths, Mack 10 dishes out a multitude of clich?d gangsta lyrics -- he simply lacks personality. The only time Mack 10 comes alive is when his mentor, Ice Cube, appears on "West Side Slaughter House." Cube adds fire and rage to an album that desperately needs more passion. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine | | Over a G-funk backdrop complete with deep bass and whining synths, Mack 10 dishes out a multitude of gangsta lyrics on his self-titled debut.

| | Artist Overview | | During the mid-'90s, when West Coast rap reigned supreme, Mack 10 emerged as a close associate of Ice Cube and enjoyed several years of considerable commercial success with his reverent hard-cool rhymes. The Los Angeles-area rapper's greatest success came early in his career, on the albums MACK 10, BOW DOWN, BASED ON A TRUE STORY, and THE RECIPE. While his star dimmed somewhat in the following decade, Mack continued to command a fanbase by staying true to the originoo gangsta rap game even as the times changed. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Entertainment Weekly (7/14/95, pp.55-56)
- "...draws heavily from '70s funk and R&B stars like Rick James and Earth, Wind & Fire....Mack 10 has buoyancy, an eye for detail, and sneering vocals not unlike [Ice Cube], his platinum-selling producer." - Rating: BThe Source (8/95, p.80)
- 3.5 Mics - Dope - "...abrasive funk production which is ideal for Mack's steady and solid flow....lyrically...he's not just another Ice Cube clone..." Rap Pages (8/95, p.30)
- 7 (out of 10)
- "...It's the lyrical integrity and originality....Outside of Mack 10's lurid G manual, you'll find him justifying--taking care of his baby girl..." |
