There’s an unabashed simplicity to Mack 10 & Glasses Malone’s collaborative effort, Money Music (as Mack and Malone). The South Central, Los Angeles luminaries stick strictly to the Gangsta Rap script, never veering from the drop-top rider music and raucous lawlessness that so viscerally defines the celebrated Hip Hop sub-genre.
“So you can call this four-fifth The Love Gun. / But this kiss [is] the kiss of death when the cum comes. / We was taught to leave no witness where I come from, / So you’re daughter gotta go,” raps Glasses on album opener “Everybody Got To Go,” 
vividly unleashing the unapologetic consequences of the game’s dark side straight out the gate. Classic OG Mack 10, with his autobiographical bars of brazen perspective rolling in over hollowed drums and a brooding bass line, rocks “Extra Extra” solo dolo. It’s enough to applaud tepidly out of reflex for a matured “Chicken Hawk,” dropping first person gems from a Boss’s panorama.
“Winning” feels like it’s crafted for a big baller Bar-B-Q; like California dreaming with a thumping backdrop and appropriately used Auto-Tune pumping through the speakers and a subtle acoustic guitar strumming the strings of success. It’s a celebratory by nature and Mack and Malone deliver on the mood — one of the album’s best offerings. “And who don’t want to score? / Land of the Cutlass, who don’t want a Porsche? / Slow road to success, who don’t want it short? / Hate the middle man? Nigga, come to the source / And that’s me, / M-A-C-K,” raps Mack 10 on “Back To Business,” a quality verse on one of Money Music’s several shots of mediocrity.
Second hand production and lulls of loquaciousness is the unfortunate reality of this LP. On an album entitled Money Music, a track named “Money Drunk” embodying little more than the commercial excess peddled righteously by a corporate sea of swill-merchants over a bootleg Mannie Fresh high-hat infestation screams cliche. Cursory inserts, “Got It Like That” and “Girls Everywhere” feel unnecessary after “Winning.” “Dear DEA” is super solid, and saving grace, “Until The Feds Came,” with its soulful backdrop and masterful depictions of scandalous females flipping the script after the indictments are handed down from both Mack and Malone is easily Money Music’s most potent offering. It’s earnest and honest and progressive, resonating on every level, memorable in every sense. When word spread about this Boss meets Henchman collaboration called Money Music, it was clear what to expect: reality-laced raps loaded with replay value.
classic
garbage
Go Fuck Off Hater!!!

Dope! Classic shit!
Piping hot garbage!!
Mack & Malone always come wit it…it’s a Westcoast thang strait 5/5 all day
Nobody wants to hear a collaborative album from these two. Mack 10 is a wife-beater, and Beach Cruiser is the only thing anybody wants from Malone.
Garbage! Nobody is interested in Wack 10 and Asses Malone!!!!
Go away with your same old bullshit lyrics. 45 years old and acting like some teenagers!!!!

Wack 10 should do an album with Chris Brown named: The Wifebeaters
maybe dont listen to it then. Grab yourself an album by ‘Bullet for My Valentine’ or ‘Funeral for a Friend’. Those shud be more suited to you. They are miserable emo fucks and the music is depressing as fuck and they are all weird emo cock suckers, but hey, at least they arent talkin about money or women so hip hop snobs like u shud love them…
money music, thug music, maybach music, cigar music. This sounds so creative
wack 10 and asses malone
(No Hate) Why doesn’t the next rapper name his album: Money, Money, Money, Bitches, Bitches, Bitches, or Money & Bitches x3. It would be real original.
cool
same shit different rapper
this is a weak album , nothing special just money talk with average rhymes and average beats
MCEIHT lol fuck you!!Whats your name?
anytime you can bump 4 or 5 records on 1 album its great
