C-Bo doesn't show many signs of diversity on Til My Casket Drops, preferring to stick to the bass-heavy, hardcore gangsta funk that has defined '90s hip-hop instead of breaking new ground. The lack of new sounds, in conjunction with his fondness for cartoonish violence and self-mythologizing doom-and-gloom, can make Til My Casket Drops a little tiresome to some ears, bu the record remains C-BO's most consistently entertaining collection of rhymes, rhythms and beats since Tales from the Crypt. ~ Leo Stanley "You know I never was no choirboy" is the unapologetic statement that both understates and defines C-Bo's aesthetic on TIL MY CASKET DROPS. The album is straight-ahead gangsta rap, West Coast Style. C-Bo is so enveloped in and obsessed with the built-in mythology of the gangsta lifestyle that his depiction of it is utterly convincing and immediately arresting. There's very little subtlety at work here; C-Bo's rapping style is full-on, unrelenting and urgent. On every track he sounds like he's anxious to get his message across before he's silenced forever by someone lurking around the next corner. TIL MY CASKET DROPS is an authentic-sounding slice of gangsta life: claustrophobic, frenetic and full of violent energy.
