C A whorey, milordy tale which whacks drive-by fuckos with enough venom to scare the Blair Bitch (Hanging Cherie - they call her - take the girlie picture out of the phone Booth - niggaz!!) So who's in the Black Rob house? L'il Kim - her highness, his Mase-ness and guess what? Brother Puff on two tracks no less! More is less for Sean Puffy and he also crowbars girlfriend Jennifer Lopez on a track. Keep it in the family ah Puff? - the magic bandwagon - jump on or you're gone.

"This is a monopolyniggaz can't touch usbecause Puff set us up properly"If Black Rob can get over the privilege of Puff putting out one of his records - he'll be fine. But enough of kissing the arse of the company head' please - you don't get Oasis writing a paean to Alan McGee to you? Plenty to impress here but the operatic Jasmine is a stand out track and the title track followed by Whoa! featuring the outstanding Joe Hooker, a Joe Cocker for the gangsta generation flies out of the stereo...

"It's 1999. No more Mr. nice guy."

So much for the new millennium serenity. But then you have to remember this is the back end of that century and Life Story says it all. Too many lives gone to waste. Too much poor on poor crime. Fuck that! To quote Black Rob,

"I'm going to get creative on your arse."

Life Story by Black Rob is out on Puff Daddy records 74321-74924-2
