What The Critics Say
Members of Parental Advisory have been notable producers in the South since the early '90s, but rarely have they kicked it on the microphone to their tracks. They appear on every track of this release and prove they aren't slouches in the lyrical department either, demonstrating they can hold down from both ends like so few people have been able to do over the years, putting themselves in the same producer/MC category as Mobb Deep, Pete Rock, or Diamond D. The thing about this album that really stands out is the wide range of topics and styles covered throughout. From the bouncy and inspiring "They Come Thru" to the gangsta vibe of "My Life, Your Entertainment" to the melodramatic "My Time 2 Go" over to the slow heavy rock sounds of "Playaz Do" and, of course, the chillin-out funky rollin in the car track "Sundown" with featured artist Eightball. Any fan of the Dirty South should definitely pick up this album, there are just too many good songs to pass up. Overall it's a complete album, with tons of guest appearances and great replay value. ~ Brad Mills, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
It was a long time between Parental Advisory's first album, Ghetto Street Funk, and their second, Straight No Chase. In between those two records, they shortened their name to P.A. and decided to pursue a live rap sound. The makeover was a success -- Straight No Chase is a brilliantly funky, unpredictable record that veers between street hip-hop, soul, rock and funk. It's a little chaotic, a little all over the place, but that's its charm -- P.A. attempts a lot of different styles and pulls nearly all of them off, which is quite a remarkable feat. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
