Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (9/2/93, p.59) - 3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - "...the soundtrack solidifies the West's lead in general dopeness over the slumping East..."

Entertainment Weekly (7/9/93, p.50) - "...the lesser known rapper Spice 1's startlingly fresh `Trigga Gots No Heart' and MC Eiht's searing but restrained `Streight Up Menace' put new rapping on bottled-up wrath..." - Rating: A-

The Source (7/93, p.66) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...the songs on MENACE stick very closely to the film's subject matter and storyline...most of the LP's songs are tight, with more than a few standouts emerging to make it a worthwhile purchase..."
