  The 1st lady of the Three 6 Mafia family is back with the follow up to her first solo album, 1998's Enquiring Minds.   Hardcore Gangsta Boo fans will eat it up, but Both Worlds *69 is far from the hottest Memphis female album to date.

  Three 6 Mafia producers DJ Paul and Juicy J handle the production as usual, and they do not disappoint.  However, for the majority of the album Gangsta Boo's vocals do little to show off there obvious production genius.

  On tracks such as "I thought you knew" and "Love dont live" Gangsta Boo's voice quickly grows repetitive and tiresome despite hot beats on both tracks.

  The same can be said for "Same Block", where Boo's lack of vocal creativity is as apparent as ever.  When Gangsta Boo does shine, it is when the beat is one which accommodates her quick choppy flow and goes along with her pace of rhyming.

  On tracks such as "Same block, Same hood" and Can I get Paid? (Strippers anthem).  The subject matter here is limited to fucking "Your Girls Man", faking orgasms ("I faked it last night") and just all around being a thug bitch.  Not that there is anything wrong with that, but when your vocal talents and writing fails to bring anything new to those subjects, it gets old real fast.

  Overall, there about 4 out of 18 tracks that I feel and If I was someone who was not a hardcore Three 6 Mafia fan, I would not
spend my money on this CD, but instead check out the debut release from Three 6 Mafia's other female, La Chat, or go cop the North Memphis female rapper Wah Wah's album.   They are both alot tighter than Both Worlds..in my opinion.  I have not totally given up on Gangsta Boo at all, its clear from all her Three 6  appearances that she has serious talent.  However she needs to work on her rhyming pattern and flow to be placed in the same category as some of the best female rappers of all time.
