Seagram was deepest rapper and realest rapper there was
I listen to this cd every day of my life and I feel compelled to write a review for this album. I was reading the review by misterme ( january 2004 ) and its like his opinion of Seagram and this album was spoken from my own words. In my heart I believe Seagram was the deepest rapper to ever grace the mic. His words get deep into your bones , he moves you. It really sickens me to hear that 2pac was the deepest and Biggie Smalls was the greatest rapper ever, people you must dig much deeper than that. First of all if you are from or familiar with Oakland, California you will know that Seagram came up in the notorious 69 Ville housing projects and with Darryl Reed and Tim Bluitt these brothas ran a drug dealing operation that would make A-Z, Rich Porter, and Alpo from Harlem( you know the based on a true story movie Paid In Full with Cameron ) look like Welfare recipiants. This man Seagram puts his experiences, his life, and especially his pain, and the situations that unfold when you are too deep in this street life and made it an artform. This man and his passion for his craft were no joke. You feel his anger,his pain, and his knowledge of the game with every word he speaks. I admit his beats for the most part are not on the level of his rhymes but they are solid, but were 2pac's before he got with Suge. When I hear rappers rappin about all the dope they sell or how they turf controllin the streets need to stop lying, but when Seag' tells you about the streets he comes from and his experiences please believe you are listening to the million dollar dope game put on wax without dry snitchin on his peers in its REALEST form. Getting directly to the album Souls on Ice in my opinion every song is good mainly for the lyrical content. The best songs in my opinion are Sleepin in My Nikes and Gotta Stay Down and I recommend this song to anyone from Oakland to New York who's from a turf where there is a small war going on for control of the drug market and the large amounts of money that comes with it and anyone who feels no hope witnessing the deaths of their peers and the need for vengence that takes place. Seage's greatest asset is that he captures all the pain that comes with trying to survive and get paid when you are living the street life. Unfortunately Seagram died a violent death in the late summer of 1996 when he and a friend were fired upon by an unknown assasin. Seages partna was shot in the head and just as real as his rhymes Seage suffered a majority of his fatal wounds shielding his partna from further damage. RIP Seagram Miller the realest and greatest rapper you never heard of. 1970-1996

My favorite.
I tried to write a long, deep review on why I enjoy this album so much, but in the end, I couldn't find the words... Seagram, in my mind, was the greatest, for the same reasons 2pac also was; deep, heartfelt, realness, and a real passion for his music. What he said, you could feel it, plus he could flow like muthaf***a. He also has great song-writing ability, when it came to knowing what would sound good with what, hooks, etc. The beats on this are also some the finest I've heard, and really demonstrate how versatile and diverse mobb music can be, Oakland-style. Anyone who says they ain't so dope, needs to take a second listen. Terry-T did most of them, Tone Capone did two-two of his best, as far as I'm concerned (Gotta Stay Down is probably my favorite track of all), and one of Rap-A-Lot's producers did one- can't remember wich producer it was... It's a cool beat, the first track, that features Scarface. Wich brings me to... featurings. Seagram came from an era where you rarely had more than 3 or 4 guest rappers on their album, meaning that 1)the album is personal, and really lets the rapper shine his best and touch personal topics, and 2)every featuring mattered. We have three here, and they ain't just any three random rappers: Scarface as I mentioned before, Spice 1, and Yukmouth! And they're all at their best here...
And like a lot of bay area albums that came out from the early to the mid 90s, you won't have to skip one single track. Everything is consistent and solid, and the album is just long enough so you want to listen to it again when it's finished, rather than get tired of it halfway through because there's 12 more tracks coming and most of them are filler...
To sum it up exactly... This is how I feel an album is supposed to be done. No one is as underrated as Seag was, R.I.P.
Check out his two previous albums too, both classics...
