(4 out of 5 stars)
"Whenever you get this many QB rappers together you know you're gettin at least 4.5 stars. Here Rick Rude & Q Butta gather up most of the QBC rappers (a few left off -- Littles, Kyron & Hostyle of Screwball, Jungle of the Bravehears, Capone only drops about 4 bars, and a few lesser known ones are left out as well) and bring you a nice 17 song compilation (a few I've heard on other albums). No production credits but I'm guessing Rick Rude & Q Butta did the majority (I know Havoc did at least 2 and ALChemist did at least 1) and it's pretty tight as well. Of the 17 songs, 2 are classics, 2 are almost classics, 3 are average, 1 I skip, and the other 9 are good or real good songs. A must have for fans of real street rap, QueensBridge rap.

#11 - 8.5 (Prodigy)
#12 - 10 (CLASSIC -- Infamous Mobb {Ty Knitty, GOD III, Twin Gambino}, Prodigy & V-12 -- great beat)
#13 - 9.5 (CLASSIC -- Imam Thug f/ Lord Tariq & Twin Gambino (Of Infamous Mobb) -- great beat)
