Rating: 6.5/10

Track #

1. Intro N/A

2. Another Victory B-Real is as sly as ever. 6.5/10

3. (Rap)Superstar Mix sound bytes from Noreaga and Eminem with the drama of B-Real’s flavor and you get one sweet track. 6.5/10

4. Cuban Necktie Don’t come around their neighborhood with a swollen head and big words; you might not make it out alive. 6.5/10

5. What U Want From Me The sinister music only adds to the dark aura Cypress Hill does so well. 5.5/10

6. Stank Ass Hoe Yes, it’s a song about a hoe, but this track reminds me of Halloween and some spooky movie from the ’40’s. The hook is quite funny. This track is pretty bizarre. 5.5/10

7. Highlife How are you living? Well, this is what Cypress Hill wants to know. Are you going for the quick buck or are you doing it the right way with hard work? 8/10

8. Certified Bomb The beat is so melodic that the group can’t help but sing along while B-Real cooks over top of them. The synth is a bit cheesy, but you can’t get everything all of the time. 7.5/10

9. Can I Get A Hit Some of you will relate to this track about all of the moochers out there. 6.5/10

10. We Live This Shit The Cypress Hill you’ve come to know and love. 7/10

11. Worldwide Slightly enjoyable.

Bonus Disc:

1. Valley Of Chrome A searing guitar riff kicks off what is a damn good track. 7/10

2. Get Out Of My Head Dino Cazares & Christian Olde Wolbers from Fear Factory show up on a hardcore rampage. The thought was good, but the rhyme and hook don’t come off so well. 6/10

3. Can’t Get The Best Of Me Again, Cypress Hill does it metal style, but this time the chorus is much better. They’d kick Limp Bizkit’s ass in a New York minute. 6.5/10

4. A Man Hold on to your hats. 7/10

5. Dust See #4

6. (Rock) Superstar You’ll find Chino Moreno from the Deftones as well as Everlast offering up some sound bytes. I find it a bit funny that Everlast is considered rock. 6.5/10
