Rating: - There's more "Bad Side" than "Good Side"
In 1996, Crucial Conflict first made headlines with their catchy single "Hay," and the following album, The Final Tic, somehow successfully managed to merge an Old West/hillbilly style with their Midwest gangsta rap. Although often labeled Bone Thugs-N-Harmony imitators for their rapid-fire deliveries, the quartet of Wildstyle, Never, Coldhard, and Kilo fared well critically and commercially, and returned in 1998 with the forgettable "Good Side, Bad Side." Crucial Conflict has flow for days, and ... Read More

Rating: - No Bad Side To This
This album is sick. Being from the Chicagoland area, I obviously have a bias toward the Flict. But bias or not, this is a classic rap album regardless. The Final Tic, their previous album is good, but this one blows that away. Each member has a unique flow, and collectively they sound disgusting good.

I had the most fun enjoying the music and to know that they can still bring it!

I think its best for me to clear up the problem of identifying ... Read More

Those rodeo boys from Chicago drops an anticipated return from their first album as Good Side, Bad Side is another side of the Flict. Again completely produced by member Wildstyle with the exception of one song this album contains the same multi-laced old Western / Country, hill clicking, gun slinging beats as even found on "Intro." "The Bidness" was a perfect song to lead this album off as Wildstyle boast over muted drum track
saying "...how are you gonna f*ck with these tracks..." Crucial Conflict ... Read More
