Great Living Legends CD..........2006-01-20

The Living Legends crew came out poppin with this CD. Instead of the mainstreatm crap we hear everyday on the radio, the Living Legends tend to be comical and humerous and also have good beats to copmly with it. This Cd is a good pick up if you can find them in stores. At first if you dont like it, pop it in again and you'll hear why these guys are truly Legends.

This CD Is Horrible.......2005-07-27

I like Living Legends but this album deserves to be thrown into the void, its annoying and boring. The production is lame and the lyrics just fell off on this one.

Eclectively Solid.......2005-02-15

Yes, the first time through this album left a bad taste in my mouth. This was the first and only Living Legends album that I've got from them or any of their individual members. The more I listened to "Creative Differences" though, the stars just kept shooting up on my rating scale. The great thing about this album is that there are many different styles to choose from that should appeal to fans of all different types of Rap.
Living Legends are underground, but they concoct many songs here I would not be mad at hearing in a club or at a party. Don't fret! They got some surefire underground/conscious Hiphop hits like "Days Go By," "Damn It Feels Good," "Hold Your Own," and "Aspirations," which are introspective and provoke thought. The last two are probably my favorites off the album. Each of the eight members get their own solo here, and I think the best ones out of these were The Grouch's "No Strings Attached" and Eligh's "Friends Are Calling." Odd that those two happen to be the only non-African-Americans out of the group. Sunspot (Jonz) cooks up a rock-solid party hit with "It Might Be You," which I listen to often and it has a cool beat.
"Creative Differences" starts out with the 6-minute title track which is the only song with all eight members involved. This one is loose, funky, and comical. Next is the lighthearted "Fill My Drink Up," which is not terrible, but it is forgettable. "Addicted" is actually very good. It uses A LOT of dark humor, and is memorable just because many artists are afraid to touch upon the topic(see for yourself). Scarub's "Time To Ride" is next and showcases his wacky wordplay, although it doesn't do him much justice. This one should grow on you though. Elsewhere, Bicasso controlls the solid "Get It In Your Soul," and Murs's solo is the underwhelming "Real Slow The Fast Way," which has some good moments, but a lame chorus and an eyesore of a third verse(I need not repeat it). The only song I'm not feeling at all was "How You Take It," mostly because 2/3 of it is in a different language by Arata, while Scarub raps(in English) for the rest of it. However, how many artists do you see out there including a track in a foreign language? At least it was different.
This album turned out to be good because it's like a grab bag for fans of all different tastes. I bought this album having known a little of Scarub, and while he holds it down, the member who caught my ear was Eligh. Eligh participated in three of the four strongest songs on this album, as well as dropping a memorable solo track. He displays a quick rhyming technique at times, and constantly has insightful and witty lyrics. Yes, some of the tracks may sound rather mainstream-ish, but I think they wore the hat well and weren't trying to sell out. They just want to rock the party as well as stimulate the minds, that's all. The beats were all done by a variety of the members, and they range from fresh to unnoticeable. If you see "Creative Differences" in the stores, it may very well be worth your money to see what's it's all about!

Give It A Chance...........2004-08-27

Most agree, this album WILL grow on you. I got this CD, listened to it for about 10 minutes, and didn't touch it for a week. It just has a different feel to it than past LL productions. You really need an open mind to appreciate this album. It wouldn't hurt to be an LL fan in the first place. After listening to it a couple times through, you'll discover some tracks that appeal to you that didn't catch your attention at first. Check it out.

Just as someone else mentioned in there review, I also didn't like this CD that much when I first got it, but after a couple of weeks worth of listening its definitley growing on me. There are a couple of joints on here I can't listen to all the way through, but for the most part this is a solid album. Best cuts are "Addicted", "No Strings", "Real Slow the Fast Way", and "Trust Me". Although this isn't a 5 star joint its still worth peepin out.

Classic Sacramento.......2007-07-24

The first review pretty much hit it on the dot. You dont get any more classic then this album here. Those who are brotha lynch fans (even though they had beef at one point) will not be dissapointed in this black market exclusive. Even though the cd is about 11 tracks long, each track is connected together to listen smoothly all the way through. He doesnt take up space with stupid skits, strictly that Sacramento underground, with Young Jayda, Melle Mel, and Mr. K Geeta as great compliments to the album. If you are a fan of west coast underground this album is a must. This cd will be well worth your money even at full price (most albums aint worth the amount they charge). Just listen to the sample of "Burgandy Day" and you will be hooked just off of a sample. It is seriously one of the tightest tracks ive ever heard coming out of Sacramento, and that is saying A LOT.

creative difference pure classic.......2005-10-06

this is pure class , gangsta rap as it should be done !!

Northern California's siccest.......2002-01-04

Gangsta Dre and Young jayda is one of the realest rappers from Northern California. Their song "Burgundy Day" came with the tightest lyrics to ride too. Not many rappers would explain everyday life in raw verses. These two cats put it down for the valley and I suggest you get this album if you ain't got it.

Nonfiktion - Creative Differences.......2000-12-13

My God I got this album and I thought really nothin of it. But when I opened it and popped in my cd player I was out of my mine. This album has to be one of the top albums of all time. Like I always say if your goin to release a album with 11 or 12 songs that are Tight do it. Don't release something with 20 or 21 tracks that only have like 7 tight tracks.

Nonfiktion aka Gangsta Dre is one of the siccness rappers I have ever heard. This album "Creative Differences" has to be on top of my favorite west coast albums of all time besides Brotha Lynch's albums and Young Ridah. My favorite type of rappers are flow/speed rappers and this man did it all on this album. Everytime I listen to it I don't skip one song EVER because none of them are sorry.

I suggest if you don't have this album you order it now or find it at your local mom and pop's stores because it's rare and it's one of the greatest albums you will ever hear. The production is out of this world and Nonfiktion rappin style is also out of this world. I would have to say he is one of the greatest rappers of all time.
