LA The Darkman - Heist Of The Century

1. Lucci- Bangin' 4/5
2. Shine- It's alright. I think the beat is kinda annoying. LA does good 2/5
3. City Lights- Great beat by Havoc, LA does some great storytelling 5/5
4. What Thugs Do- Pretty good 4/5
5. Heist of the Century- Some great rhyming, but kinda boring I think 3/5
6. Fifth Disciple- Nice beat and rhymes, too bad it's short 4/5
7. Now Y- Classic east coast style hip hop 5/5
8. Spring Water- Grooving but probably the most out-of-place song on the album 3/5
9. 4 Souls- Great, love the beat and the rhymes 4/5
10. Street Life- LA rhymes hard, love Tekitha on this song 5/5
11. Love- Excellent beat by 4th disciple, great storytelling 5/5
12. Figaro Chain- Thugged out banger, LA MURDERS Havoc 5/5
13. Polluted Wisdom- RZA shines, LA does good 5/5
14. Gun Rule- Great rhyming, dark and hardcore 5/5
15. Element of Surprise- BEST SONG on the album hands down 5/5
16. Az the World Turnz- Rae and LA go back and forth, very depressing 5/5
17. Wu-Blood Kin- I think 12 O'Clock outshined LA, great beat 5/5
18. I Want It All- Good song, just not the best song to finish 4/5

Overall I say this gets 4.5/5. And just cause I give some songs 5's doesnt mean they are equal to other songs that got 5's like Da Mystery of Chessboxin or classics like that. Anyway, I think LA can do it all, so I consider this album a classic hip-hop album, especially for a debut.

this is nearly a classic

VERY RARE NEVER GOT TO HEAR IT OR EVEN D/L IT :thumbdwn:

it's Gladys Knight!! i can't remember the name of the song right now but it's one of her well known songs!

word i just listened to "love" and realized that the piano is same sample Mathematics using for "respect mine" another example of math recycling wu samples.

IMO, Heist of the Century with Killa Sin was the best on the CD...

It's impossible to find such albums over here in Montreal. I already heard and have several tracks on my computer, but I ain't into burning. I wanna buy it and I can't order online since I don't have a CC. And from what I've heard about LA's album, that shit is bangin' seriously.

That's the track on my answering machine! Sick track 4 real!

Can someone fucking re-release this album? My friend lent it to me once, but I'm not the type to steal shit, and I dont like copies, and NO WAY am i gonna pay $50 for a fucking CD on Ebay or anywhere else for that matter (only if I win the lottery, the mega-millions). U crazy????

exactly...


This is one of my favorite albums of Any wu-fam shit for sure...


La the darkman is right up there with Killah Priest...


he's got a great flow and good beats on this album...

favorite songs:

4 souls
As the world turns
heist of the century


crazzzzzy album...fuckin love this one

this album is blessed with great beats!! and good guests

Rza got one beat on this album...polluted wisdom...it's a banger...


Six July is fuckin pretty good at beats...i've never heard much of that shit other then this album...anyone know of any other shit?


4th Disciple COMPLETELY shreads this album with beats...

love
element of surpise
as the world turnz (are all SICK)

As soon as I got the chance to get this one I did, and I havent regretted it, La gotta flow thats crazy. I bang this one all tha time. Im just waitin for tha second one..

I remember when this hit the shelves, I was working at "The Wall Music", and I thought god another lame Wu offshoot to continue the Wu's downward spiral (ie. Hot Butter, GPWU, Popa Wu ect) I bought it anyway and I was blow away....where were they hiding him, this album is a classic.

One of my fav. killa bee albums. 9/10

whoa shit,this cd cost that much money?!?,there's a store here that got it for 5$,used but still,maybe i'm a quit sleeping

I'm think about buying this album...Is it really as good as everyone is saying it is...I know alot of people on here are real byest to wu shit.

I also want to buy this album but I can't find it anywhere.

This Album Is Definitely The Best Killa Bee Solo Album Ever Released Besides Killah Priest's Heavy Mental. In All Seriousness If You Didn't Get A Chance To Listen To This Album.. Don't Sleep Honestly This Album Has Great Production And Lyrics To Go With It. 10/10 Hands Down... No Corny Producers... Maybe 1 Track Didn't Belong... But This Album Is Off The Chain....word Life.

Not only a wu classic, but also a hip hop classic.

I remember my moms dropping me off to coconuts music in 1998 to buy this CD, i was 16 then.
