Mama Drama

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Mia X; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

The biggest problem facing Master P's hugely popular label is its huge popularity, which creates a demand far greater than what P's pod can provide. So while No Limit albums contain some of the best over-the-top rap around, too often they're padded with mediocre filler. Mia X's Mama Drama — an exciting combination of abrasive, chaotic production and big-voiced boasting — could have been the first to avoid this problem. So why make it 20 songs when 10 would've sufficed? B
