"Anyone familiar with Twista or Midwest hip-hop will instantly recognize The Legendary Traxter's sinister synth-heavy production. Bun-B also shows up for another solid guest contribution, the latest from the man who is quickly becoming 2005's guest performer of the year.
The album definitely starts out strong, but thankfully doesn't taper off a bit as it goes along. "They Don't Understand" fits the theme of the album well and once again finds the Outlawz opening up to the rap world about their struggles in the industry and Pac's legacy. "Let It Burn" is one of the album's weaker tracks, but isn't that bad in itself, especially for those who enjoy lighting up. "These Are The Times" is an upbeat, yet serious, track where the Outlawz and Khujo Goodie deliver another uplifting anthem. "Smilin' Faces" is another solid track addressing more serious topics. What follows are equally solid tracks where the Outlawz consistently step their game up and show their maturity. The album ends with the jazzy "Listen To Me" and somber and paranoid "Losin' My Mind." Both tracks are dope and show the Outlawz's willingness to address deeper issues this time around.
With "Outlawz 4 Life" the group has definitely taken a big step in the right direction. The production is solid from start to finish, something new to an Outlawz project. The group has also focused on deeper and more relevant issues this time around, as opposed to previous efforts that focused more on thug life. The result is a good album that carries on Tupac's legacy without imitating ‘Pac or using him as crutch. For those down with the Outlawz since day one, your patronage has finally been rewarded. Those who've strayed from the Outlaw lifestyle in recent years, you'll find no better time to return than now. And finally, those people who've dismissed the Outlawz, you should tune in if only to see ‘Pac's vision of the future fulfilled by the success of his "lil' homies"" rapreviews.com
