5 out of 5 stars Nuthin But The Funk!.......2005-10-27

Just as Dr. Dre had been producing and rapping down in the LA area, Ant "The Big Bad Ass" Banks had been doing the same up in the bay. He is an excelent producer and comes up with some of the hottest westcoastin' beats you can find. Of course he produces for bay vets Too $hort, E-40, Spice 1, and too many others to mention. He seems to have the magic touch for music. His third Album "Do or Die," is no exception. It's laced with some of the neatest G-Funk beats ranging from the menacing, hard rollin beats of "Ain't No Thang", and "Hi Speed Anthem" to relaxing and more upbeat "No Time Fa BS." This album is perfect for blasting while rollin with the top down and joy ridin with the homies. Peep game 'n get this west coast classic!

4 out of 5 stars the big bad azz.......2004-08-29

banks, well banks is banks when this cd came out he already had a couple out and this may not be as good as his previous cd, but the opening track on this cd is a instant classic, so put down the O.E and get this

5 out of 5 stars Banks doesnt disappoint.......2004-04-19

This is one hardcore release by the man behind modern days funkiest beats. What is so impressive with hes work on this album is that it is obvious he wanted to create an awesome do or die atmosphere in his sound to go with hes rhymes and he succeeds big time. The album isnt 100% perfect though. Hes 2 big let downs on this master piece are sound of lead and you aint knowin. Mild and dull, however all other tracks hit ya in that funky place. The title track has a spankin beat that whips to a deep bass line as you would expect from Banks. There is a struck match for the next best track as songs 3,5,8,9,10 all get my body moving and the other tracks while arnt as deeply funky still have that atmosphere around them. I gave this a 5 star because its hard to expect any producer to get it 100% right but this is close enough to warant such a rating.

4 out of 5 stars One of the bay area's greatest.......2000-07-09

Ant Banks is one of the bay area's greatest. This cd is one of my favorite Ant Banks cd's. IT has a lot of heavey bass and some good beats. Ant Banks is one of my favorite rappers and if you like him then you would like E-40, or The clik, and B-Ligit.
