The Bay Meets L.A. (Rating: 6 out of 10- -3.0 stars).......2007-06-28

Anthony Banks' fourth album "Big Thangs" to me is a solid LP. Like many reviewers say, this sounds like more of a compilation than a regular album. On this here, Ant Banks just produces every track, and he does a good job for the most part. The funky production still inhabits here just many other songs here he has produced, but they are no where near as awesome as Get in Where You Fit In or The Big [...] (which were classics in my opinion), but it's still a good job. The guests on here range from garbage to great. Also most of the guests on here are from northern California, colaborating from many estabolished artists from southern California, which is also great since I'm a huge fan of west coast rap music.

The good songs here are actually on the first half of the album. An easy standout would have been the title track "Big Thangs" featuring Too Short and Ice Cube. I believe that it is the best track on this album. Another standout would be the bragging "4 Tha Hustlas" featuring Too Short, Tupac (R.I.P.), and MC Breed. Spice 1 and King T would team up for the song "West Ridin'", another dope track. A few solid tracks on here like "Can't Stop" featuring Mack 10 and E-40, which also appeared on Mack 10's Recipe album. Bad-N-Fluenz pay tribute to their deceased member Rappin' Ron (R.I.P.) on the song "Time Is Tickin'".

After that song, things go down hill, as it gets repetative. I'm not feeling "Cutaluff" with Slip Capone. "Make Money" is an average song featuring CJ Mac (who I didn't like at first, but is starting to grow on me) and K-Dee. "Fien" featuring AllFromThaI is another skippable song. Also the R&B sounding song "You Want Me Back" with Audrian just isn't working. Also Banks' looses his footing on the production towards the end of the album as well, not to mention I wouldn't have minded hearing a verse from him since he doesn't rap on this album at all. And I personally didn't like the skits as it seemed like it was filler (like the one B-Legit and MC Ant leaves messages wondering why they aren't on the album).

Overall "Big Thangs" is a solid album with some good songs. As I said before, most of the good songs are in the beginning of this album. Banks can drop some funky production, but the album overall doesn't have too much to offer. Maybe the bar was set too high because in the early 90's he made some of the best beats in the decade. But all in all, this album is worth checking out. Also this album is out of print, and you shouldn't pay no more than $15 for it, or if possible, wait until you find it in the used bin. Peace.

LOL, I think it's funny that Amazon wouldn't post my review (after submitting it many times) because I posted a link to an album that had a "bad" word in it. Y'all so stupid.

It's Ant Banks, What Else Can I Say?.......2006-08-15

Ant Banks comes up with his 4th "album." The thing is, he does not really rap, but he produces all the tracks. His beats are so awesome, they make classics alone. He takes G-Funk to another level. Another thing, Ant Banks beats fit all the rappers' styles ranging from the bay's 4-Tay, E-40, Too $hort, all the way down to the L.A. area's heavy hittas CJ Mac, Mack 10, WC, Allfrumtha I, Ice Cube. My favorite 2 tracks are "4 Tha Hustlas" (Too $hort, 2Pac, and MC Breed. The beat is so syrupy, and the twangy and rock and roll guitar riffs add seasoning; it is easily one of Banksta's best beats ever. And the other is "Hard Knox" with WC and J-Dubb. Banks laces them up with a mobb-style-yet-funky beat, and J-Dubb and WC kill the track with harsh, relentless flows. It's too bad the beat on the intro was not a beat of an actual song, because it would have made a classic fo real. It would have been nice to cut the interludes and include Ant Banks rapping, but it is undeniable, even though, he does not rap, he is the star!! Don't get me wrong, the rappers do an awesome job too.

Ant Banks.......2004-12-04

Ok car rolla's this ones for you! This album has a nice gathering of people from 2pac to Ice Cube. Yet sorry I picked it up to play for a club and on this note this album offered nothing. I see all the thug wanna be's running in to get this yet the majority will never pick this one up.

This is what its about.......2004-02-11

Hail the Big Bad Ass. This guy has got the funk in his veins more than any other modern day producer. Hes grooves are thick with deep bass and hard slappin beats and with that it doesnt matter who raps over the top of them. Its a shame that 2 of the hardest beats on this album are the intro and cutaloof which dont get the deserved respect for how funky they are. The stand out full length track in my opinion is Hard Nox with hard rythmers WC and J-Dubb. Besides the annoying interludes by Ice-T and co the most disappointing track from my opinion is actually Big Thangs even though its supposedly the pick track to the critics. It lacks the same hard driving beats as the others. But one flaw and I might add its a slight floor to as the song isnt that bad doesnt stop me from giving this album top rating and being Bankstas most consistant album to date.

good album.......2002-10-22

if the west coast rap scene had'nt died after deathrow's demise this would have blown up banks just raps on one song abd the first cut has ice cube and too short going back to basics abd other stars include the underground rap heroes e40, wc, k dee, mack 10, king t, rappin 4tay, bad n fluentz, spice 1, j dubb and others.

its pretty kool cd, the lyrics are good and the beats are nice, just listen to the samples and judge for yo self

Ridiculoid.......2007-01-28

I think potentially the only part of this cover that is not horribly photoshop'd is the dude's face. I like the real bear smoking the cartoon cigar tho, that was a nice touch.

Holy God.......2005-10-21

That is the most insane cover ever made. I just don't know what to say.

Album Description

Gost Riter has a sound that appeals to multiple formats: R&B, Pop, Rap and Contemporary Top 40. Gost Riter has massive crossover appeal. His music attracts age groups from 5-50 and sees this diversity as one of his marketing strengths.

Gost Riter's lyrics flow bountifully from the life experiences of many people today. The driving force behind his sound is its examples of actual life experiences on the dark side of life growing up in South Park, Houston, the Southwest, Harris County Jail and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

The Gost Riter organizations has made a 180-degree turn in their lives and are determined to share the Good News to the world through their music. Gost Riter's personality is as diverse as his music. The varying talents, inspirations, and background of this young man would easily show why God would have chosen him to take this vehicle of action through music to show His workmanship. This diversity helps to develop the influences and create the Gost Riter sound, yet his music and its message is focused and unified.

Gost Riter has several concert/show options. A show could be a "get up on your feet", 3 song show that serves as a good concert-fest performance or would be very appropriate as an opening act for other artists. A full concert is a 1&1/2 hour performance that includes many attention-getting surprises for the audience. It includes skits and plays that segway into such songs as: "This is the mind" and "Trust in God". Variations of these performances are negotiable, based on the budgetary and time allocation needs of the booking agents.

Gost Riter's release date for his debut album, " Gost Riter ", is May 24, 2002. Houston, Texas will be the first market to receive this album. CIA*s album, titled *Rhymageddon*, is to be released in the fourth quarter of 2002. Gost Riter is currently looking for opportunities to distribute and promote his product Nationally.

The synergy's of Gost Riter's music, lyrics, his messages and the organization, truly sets a new standard, and raises the bar of expectations for artists. We hope it will prove to be a "classic". Take a look, and see for yourself!

Customer Reviews:
