"In The Line Of Fire" Review

"As the stand-out member of Tupac Shakur's "Outlawz", Hussein Fatal seemed destined for big things but following his mentor's death and his subsequent departure from the group, Fatal found himself in career limbo. On his solo debut off of Relativey, Fatal was hoping to establish himself as a major contendor in the rap game and do it all by his lonely. Unfortunately, he fell a few steps short. While die-hard Outlaw fans enjoyed it, this album did not quite live up to many people's expectations and the dismal sales figures didn't help matters either. While cuts such as "Friday", "Everyday", and "Take Your Time" made for decent music, they just didn't provide incentive enough to keep this one in the CD player on a regular basis. The same Fatal who blazed the mic on tracks like "Made N--gaz" and "When We Ride" just doesn't seem to make the same impression without his infamous cohorts behind him. This isn't to say that Fatal doesn't have what it takes as a solo act but let's just say, he didn't quite find his niche on this one. If you love the Outlawz, you're gonna want to add it to your collection but anyone else may want to hold off on dropping some dollars on this one."

This is a great album

"WE ALL KNOW THAT THE OUTLAWZ, LEAD BY PAC CAN KICK IT WITH THE BEST BUT HOW DO THEY DO ON THEIR OWN? FATAL IS BY KNOW MEANS THE BEST OUTLAW OR THE BEST RAPPER IN THE WORLD BUT HE HAS SKILLS. RANKED IN MY OPPINION BEHIND PAC KADAFI AND NAPOLEAN FATAL IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS AROUND. THE OUTLAWZ ARE THE BEST RAP GROUP IN RECENT HISTORY,SIGNED TO DEATHROW THEY WILL SOON BE RELEASING AN ALBUM WITH PAC FEATURING ON THE CD. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AND IF THIS CD FROM 1998 IS ANYTHING TO GO BY IT SHOULD BE A GOOD ALBUM I WOULD BUY THIS ALBUM IF YOU LIKE THE OUTLAWZ STYLE OR YOU HAVE BEEN INPRESSED BY HUSSEIN HIMSELF. THROUGOUT THE WORLD OF RAP THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED LITTLE RECOGNISITION BUT I STILL THINK IT IT A VERY GOOD ALBUM AND SHOWS WHAT RAP IS ABOUT. THE TRACKS THAT STAND OUT WITH ME ARE EVERYDAY AND M.O.B. EVERYDAY HAS TO BE THE BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM, IT IS A TRUIBUTE TO THE LATE TUPAC SHAKUR, IT IS A VREY GOOD RAP CONBINED WITH A FAT BEAT. BUY THIS ALBUM."
