Bud'da gives us his first contribution of the album and, I swear, he seems to have peaked in Westside Connection's Bow Down, because all I've heard from him afterwards is pure crap.

Sticky does what he can with the track, but Murder Inc underling Blackchild snuffs the remainder of its life out with his crappy hook. This was a failure, all things considered. After the song, we hear Sammy argue with his girl before he gets into it with Kirk and shoots him, after which Kirk executes Sammy and gets in a getaway car driven by one of his boys.

The punchlines come at a time in the story where Kirk is feeling pretty invincible, so kudos to Sticky for paying attention to sequencing. Moving along. Then, we transition to to Kirk losing his shit over his stolen money. The perfect gateway to.

Here, he raps from the perspective of cash, literally. And you know what? He pulls it off. He brings up many interesting points, including: "All by myself, I created black on black crime" or "If you're smart, you make me work for you". Raekwon is on fire with the hook. I'll tell you, I friggin' love wordy hooks, and he and the original Terror Squad did them lovely!!

Rockwilder brings in a very fitting beat for this conscious song. A fucking hit with me. The song ends with Kirk walking up to a gun dealer he knows to buy one of his guns which plays the beginning of the next song's beat. The song follows their shenanigans where, punctuated by a Still Livin' hook that does its job, Kirk is leading the unwilling Bruce down a destructive path that leads to Bruce's death.

The chemistry between Sticky and co. Although I must admit, this song creeps me out now because of what happened to X1 in real life, yet I'm not saying Sticky is a bad influence in his real life, either. Kirk enters a state of despair which is a gateway to the next song. I, for one, think he got part of what he's going for right. How, indeed, can there be light if there was no darkness?

However, the rest is a mixture of pride and confusion on Sticky's part. At least, that's how I feel. He, for one, contradicts himself when stating "How could I write commandments and not have them kept? What makes you worthy of my trust?! This whole point simply does not make any sense. There are a few other arguments that don't really hold up under scrutiny, but I'll never hear the end of it, so I'll let someone else do it for me.

Besides, Self's beat is just unworthy of such a high concept. It's grade A blandness. All in all, this was way over Sticky's head. I know he's a smart and ballsy cat, but he's unprepared for this kind of question-raising, unlike Money Talks, where he knows all the ins and outs of his subject matter, therefore presenting a thorough analysis AND an entertaining song.

This was a misfire. The song ends with the scene returning to Kirk as he's being arrested, which sets up the following track's events. The song itself is actually one of the funniest on this album. Sticky sticks to playing Kirk in the background without any verses on this song, but the guests more than make up for it. Rah Digga plays Judge Battle really?
