Classic Album Review: Silkk The Shocker | Made Man

Master P's little brother makes you an offer you can — and should — refuse.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Rap godfather Master P’s little brother and consigliere Silkk The Shocker tries to move up to hit man in the family with this third gangster rap outing.

And he has the whole No Limit mob watching his back: Snoop Dogg, C-Murder, Mystikal and even P himself come out to help give Silkk his props. Or, more to the point, prop him up; while Silkk’s rap is as smooth as his game, he’s too slick to be taken seriously as a gangbanger. When P is in the house, this disc rocks; but as soon as his voice vanishes, Silkk’s thug act goes thud. Made Man is an offer you can — and should — refuse.
