The Dirty South collective known as the Ruff Ryders brings its third collection of bangin' and ballin' rhymes, from the lightning quick raps of Drag-On and Petey Pablo's "Dirty" through Jadakiss and Bubba Sparxxxs' "They Ain't Ready." While others reach for respectability, the Ryders remain devoted to their prime directive of keeping it real, which they do here with the aid of sophisticated and imaginative arrangements, all bubbling synths and smooth backing vocals, which spread a smooth sheen over these slices of thug life. The one-dimensional subject matter notwithstanding (thugging, thug-related activities, superlative skills of the Ryders over all rivals and haters in same), the Ryders' mix of ingenious bragging raps, grinding Dirty South rhythms, and exceptional production values all serve to make RYDE OR DIE VOL.III yet another milestone in the North Carolina outfit's tumultuous, street battle-scarred career.
