Album Description Released in 2000, right before the emergence of rap's shiny suits and gimmicks galore, Y2K consistently damages eardrums throughout its 20 tracks. Armed with over 10 years of service within New York City's underground scene, the members of Screwball had already carved an infamous reputation, individual projects inevitably led to the four MCs forming Voltron-style and adopting the name Screwball after a deceased friend. A deal with Tommy Boy Records meant larger exposure for the group, a fact they were obviously aware of, because Y2K is an extremely focused and hungry rap album. Lyrically, all four members command their respective microphones with the ferocity of artists like M.O.P., while the production line-up of beat-makers such as DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Marley Marl damn near guarantees audio fire. 2005.

CD ReviewsCLASSIC - QB Gangsta rap -- one of the best rap albums ever G$ | B-More, MD | 09/15/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "The 4 man group (KL, Poet, Hostyle, Kyron) from QueensBridge drop one of the tightest rap albums ever for their group debut. Of the 650 or so rap albums I have, this is defintely in my top 10, probably my top 5. Better then their 2nd album and packed with 19 songs. Of the 19, about 10 are classic material, 1 I skip, and the other 8 are good or great songs. Guests are on a few songs and each member has a classic material solo. The guests are fellow QB affiliates (all but 1). Production is great as well. Mike Heron does 7 songs, DJ Premier, Godfather Don, and Max Vargas all do 2 songs, and V.I.C., Pete Rock, Marley Marl, Kid Called Roots, EZ Elpee, Eddie Sancho all do 1 song. If you are a fan of QueensBridge rap or real street rap then this album is a must have for your collection. #2 - 10 (hostyle, kl, kyron, poet -- great beat) #3 - 10 (Poet -- tight beat) #4 - 9.5 (poet, kyron, capone, noreaga -- great beat) #5 - 10 (kl, poet, hostyle, kyron -- great beat) #6 - 8.5 (hostyle & kl) #7 - 8.5 (hostyle, kyron, triple seis) #8 - 9.5 (poet f/ MC shan -- tight beat -- about Da Bridge) #9 - 9 (Poet, Prodigy f/ Godfather Don -- also on Mobb Deep's "Free Agents" bonus disk) #10 - 8 (kyron, hostyle, nature) #11 - 9 (hostyle, kl, poet, big noyd -- remix is on Hostlye's "One Eyed Maniac" album) #12 - 9.5 (poet, kyron, hostyle, NaShawn -- tight beat) #13 - 9 (hostlye -- tight beat) #14 - 11 (one of my all time favorites -- Kyron f/ Hostyle -- unbelievable beat -- dissin Mayor Giuliani) #15 - 4 (kyron) #16 - 9.5 (Hostyle -- great beat & catchy hook) #17 - 10 (KL f/ Prince AD -- great beat) #18 - 9.5 (hostyle, kl, poet, kyron -- nice beat) #19 - 10 (poet, kyron, kl, hostyle -- great beat) #20 - 9 (kl, kyron, cormega, havoc -- nice beat) SCREWBALL!! -- QUEENSBRIDGE!! HOSTYLE -- F. Ivey -- Queensbridge, NY KYRON -- K. Jones -- b. 1975 -- Queensbridge, NY POET -- W. Bass -- Queensbridge, NY KL -- K. Lewis -- Queensbridge, NY Check all my reviews" Screwball Sincere | T-Dot | 11/24/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "In all honesty this is one of the best rap albums I have ever had the privilege of listening to. It has incredible production, insanely tight lyrics (expecially by Hostyle) and a great nessage to hip-pop musicaians which is "F U". These are some grimey QB rappers, if you like this album try to cop the double cd 'Screwed Up'. I don't think they sell it on amazon, but I have it and it has the best tracks from Y2K and Loyalty pplus some of the tracks have been changed a bit and there are some new tracks as well. Screwball is one of the best groups in rap, realize it." BEST SCREWBALL ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!! thaman | 12/01/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I HAD TO GET THIS ONE OVER AGAIN,PLUS IT WAS WORTH IT!!...MUST BUY...IN ORDER TO TRY!!!"
