Search - O.F.T.B. :: Straight Up Watts

A tight group

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This was Oftbs first and only album. They have tight flows and rip up all their tracks they do hard. They are one of my old favourites, but I liked the things they were coming out with after this even more which was only done as appearances and on compilations. This album has got a few weak songs on it, but is definately worth getting. They were too underrated and should have been much more respected than a lot of other groups. If you want a tight CD get this one while you still can."

4 stars from the Watts G's

"For starters I meant to give this 4 stars. The 3 man trio from Watts delivers what people who know of them expect, straight up gangsta tales. With 13 songs you get a good amount of OFTB, and there are no guests on here, all 3 members kick a verse on all 13 songs. Production is handled by Tee K.O (8 songs) and Brian G (5 songs) and they do a good job for the time period it came out (1992). Out of the 13 songs, 2 I skip, 4 are average and 7 are good. After track 7 the album falls off a bit (these are all ok or not really worth listening to), most of the better songs are before that. A good album to have for west coast early 90's gangsta fans.
