4 out of 5 stars Takes Me Back.......2007-04-06

Although I am not into this type of rap anymore (I'm 30). I loved this album when I was an 18 year old college kid.

5 out of 5 stars Classic hardcore album.......2006-08-08

Love this album to death. TDF's two best tracks are on here, Dope Dayton Ave and Flinttown. I can listen to those tracks a million times over, in fact I have. They are two of the best hardcore rap tracks ever recorded.

The rest of the album is great. There's only two tracks I'm not too fond of, nutty niggas and billy blunt. The rest of the album is pure magic for a debut.

If you love hardcore gangsta ish by some real G's, get it.

5 out of 5 stars It doesn't get much harder than this here.......2005-06-21

Dayton Family is a rap group, coming from Flint, Michigan (about an hour from Detroit), growing up in one of the hardest and hopeless ghettos to be found. This album is hard-core to the fullest, it just doesn't get harder than this, it just can't! The album is street-gangsta rap in it's purest form. Those guys (rappers Bootleg and Shoestring, with their producer Steve Pitts) are on a whole new lever when it comes to spitting hard lyrics. Their flows are untouchable, the definition of hardcore rapping, and the whole feel of the album is different than many albums. The Dayton family do not focus on getting rich and gaining some (fading) fame, buying expensive cars and useless jewelery, their mentality is totally different - it's grim and dark. With them it's all about modest survival, just maintaining and staying alive. This album was released nation-wide in 95, but most of it was already released on an indy label ib 93. Yet it won't sound that out of date. The beats are banging', a combination of West Coast and Midwest flavor. Like I said, Shoestring and Bootleg's deliveries are plain ruthless, and the lyrics are some of the most shocking you'll get to hear. They don't hold back for nothing! For exmaple, on the title track you get to hear (over a great beat):
"What's on my mind is a rape in progress/
I got my di** in between some bit** breasts/
What's on my mind is a knife at a ho*'s throat/
I took her gold, her pus**, and her mink coat/"
If you read this, you'll get the idea. Don't think it's some stupid album, all about killing and drug dealing, it's much more. It's about survival, about hustling, and trying to have a normal life in an imposible environment. The album title suits it's content perfectly, the boys speak their mind, and tell about the life they live. Dayton Family is one of the hardest and realest groups ever, and if you are fan of the likes of NWA, Geto Boys, Compton's Most Wanted and Three 6 Mafia, there's no way you won't love "What's On My Mind?", the group's first album (they only released two albums after that) and it is a classic.

4 out of 5 stars Real!.......2005-06-19

When I first saw the promos for the Dayton Family's debut video and album I told everyone I'm getting that album. I wasn't disappointed at all. Everysong on this disc is real and straight to the damn point. F.B.I. was a better album, but this one cannot be overlooked as these young nigga's told a story about life in the hood of Flint was real!

4 out of 5 stars 2 Hard 4 Punks.......2005-01-27

I got this cd after I got FBI. Although most rappers dont have Very good first cd's TDF is an exception. I left a star off cause there are only half a cd of good songs but be assured that these songs are hits. Worth the buy over and over.
