Description: If it were strictly about the beats, the 'Nuts would have the game on lock. For over 10 years, they've been some of rap's most reliable track masters, hooking up tasty bits of musical treats. Their style has remained relatively unchanged, kept simple with infectious loops, crackling breakbeats, and party-anthem lyrics that don't run deep but don't have too. But with each new album, the 'Nuts wear their own style out from the recycling. Sure, the music still has flavor--check the darting flute loop in "Mayonnaise" or bounce to the energetic vocal chorus on "No Escapin' This"--but Psycho Les and Juju have played themselves out like the XFL: all style, no substance. They're far from the only ones kickin' juvenile, misogynistic lyrics and lifeless boasting, but after four albums of the same, there's just no creative spark to relight their fire. I'm not sure what their title means, but at this point, I'd rather not take it or squeeze it. Just leave it.

beatnuts dont you mean beatpoors
i am a keen music fan with an amazin selection of albums now lets face it people if u want hiphop get notoriou big he is the best lyricist of all time and has one of the best flows aswell. every beat on his albums are bangin and if the beat doesnt grab you well the lyrics will. so why bother with beat poors! they shouldnt be called beatnuts just beatpoors because that is what they are poor.why dont you listen to good music like method man, odb, gza, rza, biggie, wutang clan, fugees, i mean dont waste your time on this rubbish. i have a freind who forces me to listen to them wheneva i get lifts in the car with him to be honest id rather walk then listen to that poor.forget this album and listen to some good music
from start to finish- this is it!
okay- lyrically - they are not the best emcees. but- don't sleep. these cats produce hits- club banging music. that is how i rated this a perfect score. almost every track is a banger. never has a cd been playable from start to finish since cypress hill's first release.
prendalo and se acabo remix is off. i lvoe this cd. there is no way this cd can dissapoint you.
solid CD
It has a bit of a different feel to it than a lot of albums on the market right now. Yo yo yo is just an "addictive" song that hooks u from start to finish. There were some songs on here that I didnt care much for, and thats unfortunate since the album is relatively short in today's standards. Thats the only reason I dropped it to 4 though. Other than the kind of short length and a select few songs that could have done without, it wasnt a bad CD.
