While he's not a mixing and scratching DJ, Clueminatti is more like a house party DJ (he plays what you want to hear with no turntable tricks whatsoever). Big deal, anyone can do that, but DJ Clue's secret lies in getting the hottest stuff first (thus always calling his tracks "exclusive ish"). Actually, as Puff Daddy states in The Professional's intro, Clue was the guy he wanted to beat up because he leaked one of his Biggie records.
Though his street mixtapes are a little better, this album is still good for a major-label debut. And for once, a long list of superb rappers on the project does NOT make for a wack album. DMX gets things rolling with two winners, "Ruff Ryders Anthem" remix with Jadakiss, Styles, Drag-On and Eve; and "It's On" (an obvious single because it's censored). You can expect to find more bangin' collabos from Mobb Deep and Big Noyd on the title track, Jay-Z and Ja Rule on "Gangsta Ish", Boot Camp Click on "Come On", and Cam'ron, Big Pun, Noreaga and Canibus on "Fantastic 4".
You can also expect some filler on here like JD and R.O.C.'s "B**** Be a H*", The Sauce byproducts Made Men on "Made Men" (but unsurprisingly the beat is tight), and Missy, Mocha, and Nicole on "I Like Control". "That's the Way" is also wack because Foxy Brown spits a lame verse while it's hard to tell when Mase and Fabolous (Sport) is rapping because both of them sound and rap exactly alike. And on top of that, sampling The Tom Tom Club is played out.
If you can deal with those flaws and Clue's constant screaming throughout the album ("Do remember", "Clueminatti!", etc.), then pick this album up for a future Class of '99 party. -EJR
