------------"Multikillionaire" is an awesome creation from Natas. Released in '97, this cd's focus is the beats it has, rather than the lyrics. The words that they speak are still good, but not even close to their full potential. Nevertheless, it seems that the 3 Natas members were in the studio messing around with some of sound effects and what they came out with are some of the phatest beats they have ever made. Some songs do have killer lyrics, but the cd as a whole is more noteworthy for the music it encompasses.
___Like I said, at the core of "Multikilionaire" is an undeniable set of mixes and sound effects. Many pianos and what sounds like a shallow church organ compose the great background which more than makes up for some of the faulty lyrics on some songs. The best songs on this cd are "Blessed But Cursed", "All My Dogs" (which I was recently listening to again and it blew me away with the incredible use of some weird sound effect in between the lyrics and the bass line), and the title song, "Multikillionaire". Another, and arguably the longest Natas/Esham song of all, is the 8 minute 53 second epic, "Don't Gimme No H.A.N./?". This is the best song on the cd and its not even one song, rather 3 sperate songs locked together through the use of riff changes and an ear shattering sound effect for about 10 seconds. The first song's chorus lets it be known that it is called "Ho Ass Nigga", the second song (which is a little slower) has no chorus, and the third song is a laidback masterpiece which, if it had a title, would be named "Rollin Wit the Sawed-Off". These songs make up the core of "Multikillionaire".
___Once again, this Natas cd is being released with greater of availability through the distribution deal with TvT. The original RLP version's plastic jewel case had a purple outside and a green inside. The new version is just a regular cd case. This is a sign of the changing times. One thing that doesn't change is the greatness of this cd, despite a few drawbacks. It is quality cruisin music. Pick it up if you can.
