5 out of 5 stars O.G. MC Eiht still has got a couple of rounds left!.......2006-03-21

Fifteen years deep in the game, MC Eiht soldiered on like the gangsta veteran that he is, releasing Veterans Day six weeks short of Veterans Day 2004. Seemingly unstoppable, the former Compton's Most Wanted rapper teamed up with fellow CMW compadre tha Chill (formerly Chill MC), who produces every track here and is featured on a few. The two survivors are skilled craftsmen at this point in their careers; neither is especially original or groundbreaking here, but they both stick to their guns and continue doing what they've done so well for years, namely street-corner gangsta rap. The result is another remarkable album courtesy of Eiht, not necessarily his best (his early-mid 90's albums are masterpieces one by one) but definitely one of his best. The long-disillusioned onetime superstar just doesn't give any ground. There aren't any concessions to the crossover market - no pop-rap interpolations, no R&B duets, no love for women, no mercy for biters, no club tracks, and no brand-name collaborations. No, this is pure, undistilled gangsta rap bearing the stamp of Compton authenticity and released independently (through Native Records). If you're familiar with Eiht's music - whether his early-'90s work with CMW, his mid-'90s breakthrough albums for Epic Street, his late-'90s efforts for Priority, or his latter-day independent releases - you'll know what to expect here: for 15 years the guy has rapped in his own trademark fashion, and Veterans Day is no exception. Like most of his albums, this one includes a few great tracks ("U Know Why," (which sounds like a Kanye West track, only better, "Livin Like G'staz", "Somebody", "Bac in Town") and a dozen or so very good ones. All of the songs are gangsta to the core, and they all get streetlight-dark, bass-heavy, slow-grooving G-funk productions from tha Chill. The MC-turned-producer puts in an impressive showing here, and since he's the only featured guest on any of the 16 songs on this 53-minute album, you really should consider this a two-man effort: Eiht on the mic, Chill with the beats. As such, Veterans Day feels relatively intimate, like you're stepping into the world of these two O.G.s for a while. And as such, the album also feels seamless - not like the hodgepodge of outsourced productions and overdubbed guest raps that most rap albums have become. Rather, this is a good old-fashioned underground rap album - done independently on a tight budget, with little pop-crossover pizzazz.Another thing you might love about this album (at least I did) is that all over the album, MC Eiht makes fun and disses those wearing pink T-Shirts (I don't know whether he was reffering to Fat Joe, Camron or someobe else) - and he's right on point, calling them fa**ots.

Veterans Day is therefore a refreshing alternative to its overblown era of G-Units and Nellys, and more importantly, it's yet another solid release by the ever-enduring Eiht.

5 out of 5 stars Solid Album.......2004-12-12

4 out of 5 stars another solid cd from EIHT - 4.5 stars.......2004-11-08

Since Eiht went to releasing his cd's independantly they have slacked a little (not to say they're bad, just not as good as he usually does)(except for "Tha8t'z Gangsta") but this album is a good one and his best since "Tha8t'z Gangsta", and a must have for Eiht fans. He has some tight production on here done by Eiht (3 songs) and Prodeje of South Central Cartel (1 song) with the rest being done by Tha Chill. It only features one person (CMW's Tha Chill) who is on 3 of the 12 songs. Definitely check this one out, has some good songs & beats and no real weak tracks (except maybe 1) as well as one classic and 2 near classics.

5 out of 5 stars THIS IS CLASSIC EIHT!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-09-29

Eiht came raw with this one. This record could not have come at a better time. We are being bombarded with manufactured artists. This album stays true to the streets. The album cover itself depicts the life of the streets! I recommend this to all those who are true to the roots of rap music. Eiht is a legend and don't you forget it BOY!!!

          Album Description

          The title song "Veterans Day" is dedicated to all the heros who have fought and died to keep their country free: "I'll See You In The Morning" (also known as The Peepers Song) was written for my mother, that is what she said when she tucked me in as a child:"This Old Radio Of Mine" deals with the changing face of country music and longs for the sounds of yesterday: "Sunday Will Come Againl" is a true story of a lady in a care center who waited each Sunday for her kids, who never came: "Quiet Time" is getting away from the kids for a few minutes: "What Love Really Is" tells of an abused woman who finally finds love: "The White Violin" is the longing of a child who sees a white violin in the music store and saves up his money to buy it. A nice story how he finally gets it, written by: Kelly Kron: "Gods Great Meadowland" is a beautiful place we all hope to see someday.
