This is the freshest shit I’ve heard since Tupac was still kickin. I mean, you got all these fucking green back filled fuckas runnin round who call themselves rappers today layin it down like they’ve really gone thru some shit.
Big Neal is the REAL DEAL niggas! No one yet has had a real reason to rap about anger, like that cracker Slim Shady, or to lay the smack down on the honies like R. Kelly. Big Neal and his crew rap about the true world of what’s going on in Iraq. If you ain’t feelin Big Neal and his boyz during “24 Hours” then you be spendin too much time listening to the wrong crew yo! Yeah, if you ain’t to afraid of the truth, then check out “Fuck Em”.
So all you niggas who think you understand the fight and hunger of rappers, you don’t know shit until you give this brotha turn. Big Neal and his crew know how to put it to ya. This is the shit that rappers ought to be layin the smack about. But they don’t. Cuz they ain’t REAL.
Yo, Big Neal, mo power to ya! PEACE.

“Reality Check” is perfect answer. I would hate to be “Lil Wayne or Byonce listening to this song I would be embarrassed that I made the song “Soldier.”
I cant stop listening to the song “Fuc**em” Its got me going. Working out to it everyday. Perfect for the gym.

i seriously hope big neal when he goes home gets into the music business for real. from a lyrical standpoint alot of the lines are 1 or 2 sylables, nothing really crazy as far as that goes but he matches em up with the prevo line sounds like a 3, never the less its real. . dudes got alot of talent . minus the rock hooks do some more samples like you were thinking of, some soul hooks sped up , beats needing some faint background work done on multitrack .take out the bitch tracks, the slap togetherd southern feel thats real corny right now shit (ride??) . other than that its 4 mic album, maybe a 5 , but given said subject matter and the way they put it together. i vote a 5
