Banging, hardcore g-funk...a slept-on gem.......2006-12-04

In late 1995, Compton natives and half-brothers BG Knocc Out & Dresta released their debut album "Real Brothas" to little fanfare on Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. Recently I have been going through my collection and reviewing some of my favorite albums, trying to steer people towards some underrated hip hop releases. "Real Brothas" shines on multiple levels. While on the surface the duo may just look like another jeri-curled, Compton Crip rap group, Knocc Out and Dresta are two of the toughest, grittiest west coast rappers that I have heard, and despite their young age they come as hard as any, heavy with threats and stories. Musically the production is excellent, graced with the slow rolling, heavy bass, whiny synths, and hard beats of the best g-funk records of the 90s. Unfortunately, this album is long out of print and impossible to find, making its legend even greater. "Real Brothas" is one of my favorite west coast g-funk albums and I highly recommend it.

The album begins with the banger "Everyday Allday," which is an upbeat cut with funky guitar line and bass, the MCs introduce themselves and their lifestyle. "Jealousy" explores the trials and tribulations of gang life, and the chorus is well sung by a female singer. "Who's the `G'?" is straight gangsta rap, with a nice woozy synth, another good song. "Compton Swingin'" is awesome, a funky, representing track with a great chorus, production, and verses from both parties. "Life's a Puzzle" drops a little philosophy, telling some stories too. Younger brother BG Knocc Out gets a chance to shine and explore his character on his self-titled solo cut. "Compton Hoe" is humorous and entertaining and boasts one of the best beats on the album. My favorite song is "Micc Checc," which is slow-rolling and will keep your head nodding. The chorus will have you chanting along after alisten or two. "Compton and Watts" is the first track where they diss Tha Dogg Pound, and they pledge to stay hard and true to their roots. On "50/50 Luv" they reminisce over their lost pal Eazy and look at their lifestyle from where they came from. After the title cut, a very upbeat, catchy track, comes "Do or Die," a deeper track exploring the pitfalls of urban life. "Take a Ride" and "Down Goes Another..." are two laidback but hard songs, just excellent g-funk cuts. The closer "DPG/K" is a definite highlight, a ruthless diss track aimed at DPG where they profess, "You'll never see Compton and Long Beach together."

"Real Brothas" is consistent, very well produced, and entertaining. BG and Dresta are lyrically miles ahead of the rest of the g-funk crowd lyrically, and the production on this album makes it one of the best, perfect for riding to in the car or playing at anytime. I understand that fifty dollars is an outrageous price to pay for any album, but if it comes your way, definitely pick it up. I have heard that Knocc Out & Dresta have recently gone back to the studio to record new music for the first time since this album, and I can't wait for that. Until then, "Real Brothas" is gangsta rap at its finest.

BG 'N Dresta Comin' Sick Wit It!!.......2006-11-17

Real Brothas is one of those G-Funk albums that typifies what west coast rap is and should be, driving with firey and serious flows, and immaculate production. It is unfortunate, that Real Brothas is their only duo album. For me, there are many standout tracks. Personally, "Whose The 'G'" is my favorite; it brings to the table everything that I love about G-Funk. Produced by Vic C, the beat is amazing, hard mobbin foreground beat, and whiny keyboard riffs background. BG Knocc Out kills it with good old fashioned west coast mad gangster flows. This song is the definition of G-Funk. Most of the other songs are produced by Rhythm D and his beats are awesome throughout. The title track is another banger with a nice whiny synth and bouncy p-funky beat, Knocc and Dresta and kill the track about keepin it treal and straight in the game. Although I am a big fan of Long Beach rap, esp. Daz DPG, Snoop, etc, their constant animosity towards them makes (esp. on "DPG/K") for an entertaining listen. It's neat to hear what words rival rappers have to say to each other (also think DJ Quik and MC Eiht). Lyrically, BG and Dresta have and awesome flow and complement each other well. This album is definitely a classic. Anyone up on that west coast tip needs to have this one.

Good cd but is too much to buy. Plus i hear they are gunna re-realese it soon so i would just wait. Also if u like this u should check out Big L or even Bone thugs because they were also close wit EAZY. Oh and by the way BG knocc out just got out of jailin September for an gang related shootout back in 96. So be lookin for a Solo and a realese from a classic duo Bg Knocc out and Gangsta Dresta

Yes this is a great cd that i was about to buy for [...] bucks just to download onto ipod. then just checked bearshare or limewire and got the whole cd on my ipod for free. Also if u dont have an ipod or mp3 player, u can also put it on a plank cd. That was way better than spending [...] dollars now wasnt it?

Compton and Watts get much props Geahhh...........2006-07-12

This cd is pretty good the only album put out by B.G. Knocc out and Gangsta Dresta.... Most of the song bump there problably only like 2-4 songs I dont like.....The production off tha hook old school g funk beats with a lot of sampling and great gansta lyrics...I'm not going to preach about this album everyone pretty much nail the point on it....My fav track bg knocc out great beat bend corners with and the course kool how the back ground music kinda says bg knocc out...Dresta or Knocc flow wise I would have to say Knocc out his voice unique smooth and rugged at the same time and kinda reminds me of Eazy...So check out peeps later.......
