*sprint is a shit phone company. Pure unhelpful trash. No wonder they have that simply everything plan they have to compete somehow everything else about them sucks. How can you not allow someone to get insurance for their phone after 30 days?
*I dont know whos a bigger clown, Jim Jones, Rick Ross, or Yung Berg.
*Why is the hate for Beyonce so strong, especially among black women? Its disgusting.
*But i do hate her clothing line house of deron or w/e its called. It seems like the dirtiest of chicks wear it and the symbol looks like a rip off of pelle pelle and the saints.
*I like when ppl wear creative shit other then coogi or black label with a pair of ones.
*Speakin of that, Chicago has some of the worst fashion i think. I mean i dont judge people but honestly y do grown ass men dress like they go thru a metal detector everyday?
*Im not one of these hip hop is day whiners, but music today is very underwhelming. For ex, remember in 2001 when shit like blueprint, stillmatic etc dropped? Remember the hype and anticipation for those albums? Remember how they actually delivered and how long you banged that shit(and probably do)? Now is shit like that comin out today? Didnt think so?
*I hate these elitist hip hop heads more then the trap happy/southern.You knoq, the ones who think they are better then everybody else cause they are one of five of their favorite rappers fan. The ones who say man gucci, jeezy etc sucks. Not every rap is goin to be a complicated physics lesson where u have to listen to 5 times to get it
*and for the record i like all music you listen to my ipod on schuffle u will hear oj da juiceman, charles hamilton, a perfect circle, and vanessa marquez lol.
*Dunks>>>>>>>>Air force ones
*Supras and greedy genius are sum nice kicks too.
*I need to go on a diet. My eating is out of control. Not that im fat. But man i just eat wild shit all day. Burger King, muffins, strawberries, a mash potatoe/sausage melody mashup, energy drinks, ice cream cookie sandwiches is what i had today. And the funny thing is i dont smoke anymore lol.
*Karmaloop is an addicting site. Just when im like im done with them its time to save money they get sum new crazy ass shirts that i must have.
*I really dont get the whole twitter thing. I mean if ur big on the internet or a celeb maybe but why would i want to tell ppl what im doin every hour? Isnt blogging enuff
*Myspace is irrelevant now to me. Its like blackplanet, girbaud straps, and nelly irrelevant lol.
*I sometimes think Obama secretly wonders to himself "how the fuck did i get here" lol.
*he probably also thinks "man i want to smoke some good green right now" lol
*I sometimes think hmm everyone else around me is settling down and cakin i should do that. I mean i havent had a serious girl since hs. But when i look at the options around me i think to myself im not wifing these dirt merchants. Like biggie said they only good for steady fuckin. And thats all they seem to want really anyway so who am i to say no no no lol
*why does the internet bring out the worst in sum ppl? i hate the assholes who leave ugly messages to ppl on youtube and the dumb ass who talk shit and spam all day on sites like wshh. You wouldnt say half the shit u say online in real life to ppl so why do it? And my all time favorite is the facebook/myspace pimp who message girls all day long but act like they dont know them in person lol
*I sometimes look back on my life and say wtf was i thinkin? I mean i wish i coulda did things diff but no lookin back now.
*Global warming is fake. I mean i know the propagandist always issue this alarmist shit but its not as serious wake up ppl. I mean why is it still cold as hell in chicago? This is not spring.
well thats a few shit on my mind lets review this jadakiss album now lol
bored as fuck and just ranting
Jadakiss. I mean where do we begin. Such a talented rapper who just frankly never will blow. He reminds me of all those NBA greats who never won a ring. I know some of it isnt his fault(contract problems). But the two albums he did release werent really up to his standards. When he signed to rocafella i thought hmm maybe this may finally elevate him. But after that stale shit with ne-yo and the constant delays my hope faded. So finally after 4 months from the original release date and hardly any buzz here is the last kiss
1)Pain and Torture-Really grandious new york sounding shit. Havent heard somethin like this in a while. Pretty decent. Jada comes correct and gets this off to a good start. Lol his flow always sounds like he is constipated though.
2)Cant stop me Ft Ayana Irish-This shit go hard. Beat is nice and the sample is well used. You can tell this album isnt gonna be a punchline heavy which I think is what kills most of these NY rappers.I never understood why singers are used alongside samples but its still cool.
3)Whos real Ft Swizz Beats & OJ da juiceman- Really odd song to put on this album. Mixtape yea but album no. Beat sounds like a remix of swing ya rag but its decent. OJ just sounds weird along side jada and his verse is shorter then the chorus, which is lame and repetitive. Will get play in the club tho.
4)Grind Hard Ft Mary J Blige- Another weird collabo. They shoulda used Mary on sum soulful shit not this. Beat sounds like Nas's hero and woulda been better for rick ross. But other then that is alright lol.
5)Somethin else Ft Young Jeezy- Beat is pretty decent. Jeezy's verse is really good which may suprise a lot. Chorus is annoying and wack but other then that good song.
6)One more step Ft Styles P- The expected back and forth with styles. Not as good as we gone make it or that shit off styles first album but still good(Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri take note this is how you do it lol) Beat is crazy to me also
7)Sress ya Ft Pharrell- Definetly not Pharrell's best beat. Very lazy and snoozeworthy. And what is that annoying random ass sample in the background? Jada has never been good at the girl songs. Skip
8)What If Ft Nas- or AKA Why pt 2 lol. Still good tho cuz who is releasing shit like this right now. Plz it is thought provoking shit(what if peyton was fighting dogs? What if Oprah called those girls nappy headed hoes instead of of Imus? i also like the homage to nas by asking what if you can sneak an uzi on the island?)
9)Things Ive been through-Man this track is fire. The vandross sample is used greatly and the beat is smooth smoking music. I mean who doesnt like Luther, esp when he was fat? Jada gets really personal on this one as he basically gives his music biography.This is very interesting and daring cuz most artist wont talk about half this shit even though its probably happened to them. Good track
10)I tried Ft Avery Storm- Another deep track about struggles and hardship. The beat is hot. Its nice to hear a rapper from New York who actually rap and has beats that sound like where he is from(unlike Fat Joe, Jim Jones, etc). Avery Storm sounds like absolute shit tho.
11)Rockin with the best-Another blah neptunes track. I guess you can add pharrell to the producers who dont give a fuck anymore club(Timbaland's the prez, Just blaze vice prez) Man the chorus is just irritating to listen too. Skip.
12)Smoking Gun Ft Jazmine Sullivan- Really cheesy sounding beat. I still think jazmine sullivan isnt a great singer. Jada talks a bout sum deep shit on here about molestation and abuse. Definetly check this out for the lyrics and subject matter.
13)Cartel gathering Ft Ghostface Killah & Raekwon- Nice group shit. Ghostface is a fuckin fool(dont drink the cris, ghost bout to piss in it lol) Raekwon spits his same verse he been sayin since ob4cl, which is still good. And jada verse is decent.
14)Come and get me Ft sheek louch & S.I-I never really liked sheek, and his verse on here is just forgetable. Beat is really dark and gangsta. The chorus by this S.I dude is bad tho. Skip
15)By my side Ft Ne-yo- The fisrt single that sucks obviously. Man jada's rhymes are so wack and forced its sad to listen to. and Ne-Yo is as boring as ever. I think i heard jada actually singin with Ne-yo on the bridge. Awful
16)Letter to B.I.G Ft Faith Evans- Best song on here imo. This is how you do a tribute song(not silly ass collabo albums and other goofy shit that Diddy was doin. Jada even mentions that shit in here too). I dont know if its because i was blowed outta my skull when i first heard it but I think this is a all time classic. Lyrics, the beat, Faith's singing all go perfect.
17)Something Else Remix Ft Young Jeezy, Bloodraw, and some other ppl i dont feel like naming lol- Ok the original was ok but do we need a remix? Especially with some of Jeezys wack ass artist. Basically the exact same song but with more ppl on it. Skip
18)Deathwish Ft Lil Wayne- Wayne fulfills his contractual duties to appear on everybodies album lol. Really sinister ass beat that matches perfectly with the subject matter. Waynes verse is fuckin crazy and is lightyears ahead of Jada's. Im surprised Jada didnt go back in the studio on sum nas shit and add a verse after waynes.
Verdict-Pretty enjoyable album. Five or six songs shoulda been left off and the guests shoulda been cut down but its very listenable. This def isnt gonna win over any new fans and it will prolly be forgotten when the major albums come out in the next couple of months. You can tell that there was a debate over whether to include radio songs or songs for his fans on this album. But for now its satisfactory esp during this slow ass period for music. Check it out
Yes off work, money in the bank plz pocket change, time to get into some madness tonight but lets review 3 albums coming out, starting with the best.
Yep this is apparently UGK's last album since the death of Pimp C the Great. Besides Outkast, UGK has to be the best duo imo ever. Albums are classic(Super tight, Ridin dirty, the UGK double album) Very infleuntial(bringin words like trill to mainstream, the first to talk about lean, etc.)I mean they just make some good ass trunk music. Even tho this album is prolly leftovers and B-sides, its still better then the rest of this shit comin out now.
1)Intro- Pimp C preaches about pimp shit. Tabernacle. Chuuuch!
2)Still on the grind Ft Raheem DeVaughn- Man this beat go hard as hell. Bun and Pimp spit back and forth and raheem sings some shit. Even tho u can barely hear anyone over the loud ass guitars this shit still raw
3)Everybody wanna ball-Everybody wanna ball/holla at broads at the mall. This shit is nice. Classic UGK
4)Feelin you-Man music like this makes me want to blaze up again. Its crazy how Pimp sounds better then most actual singers(i.e A-Kon).
5)The Pimp and the Bun Ft Ron Isley-The beat is a remake of thr Isley Bros here we go again. This is obviously a leftover from their last album cuz i believe Ron Isley is in jail for tax evasion or something like that. Song is straight but nothin special.
6)She luv it-Pimp and Bun talk about their favortie ho. Pimp is a hilarious ass nigga he says shit like "eatin on my dick/like its corn/or sum barbecue ribs" and "a bald head pussy aint shit/got them razor bumps bitch/grow sum hair and get me chips." lol
7)7th Street(interlude)-Pimp C freestyle over a slow smooth ass beat. Nice.
8)Swishas and Erb-Dont wanna be disturbed/I got me swishas and erbbb/awwww! Man i love this shit. Pimp's singin and Bun lyrics are correct on this. And Sleepy Brown(highly slept on) adds to the track.
9)Purse comes first Ft Big Gipp-Only Pimp can talk about sum serious shit then switch to a bitch hummin on his dick in one verse lol. But this song is supposed to be the conscious serious song but its kinda borin. And is Gipp Nellys bag handler now? Album skipper
10)Hairy Asshole(yes u readin that right) Ft Webbie & Lil Boosie- Lol wtf? Chorus-"got a young brown stallion/and she 20 yrs old/when she pop it from the back u c the hairy asshole." Bun B and Webbie must not like hairy assholes cuz the never mention it on their verses. Pimp C on the other hand talks about how his dick dont move when a female shaves her bush and Boosie loves to use an asshole as a paper towel. Everything about this song, from the beat to lyrics, lets me know that this will be a favorite at the hole in the wall strip joints where the girls all have hairy assholes. In addition too pock marked legs, c sections scars, flabby titties, bad weaves,and so on.
11)Use to be Ft E-40, B-legit, Eightball & MJG- Beats sounds very Mannie Fresh. E-40 is the best out of this, even tho he isnt up against lyrical heavyweights. But this is very forgetable.
12)Steal your mind Ft Snoop Dogg & Too Short- Man u already know what this song is about. Beat goes hard and i like the various clips from pimp movies. One of the best songs on here
13)Texas Ave(interlude)- Basically the same as the last interlude except Bun B is freestyle. Still tight though.
14)Hard as Hell Ft Akon- Why God, did u allow Akon on here? Even tho he isnt as untolerable as he usually is, he still sucks donkey dick. And this beat is fuckin trash, esp with the subject matter. Its UGK talkin about fuckin girls to a Kelly Clarkson song. Skip.
15)Da game been good to me- Man this is a raw ass beat. The country western guitars is really good. Pimp and Bun talk about fallen off rappers who fell off and dont matter. Good song.
16)Outro- The same as the inro except Bun thanks all the ppl who help UGK. Not as entertaining as Pimp so this doesnt matter.
Verdict- This is a very decent album. Except for a couple of expected fillers, its a great album for UGK to go out. While it wont set the world on fire and it doesnt come close to their previous albums, it still will satisfy any UGK fan and regular fans also. Definetly worth checkin out.
So this is Bow wow's long delayed from 2008 album. I guess he was infected with that Keri Hilson disease. The one where ur steady dropping singles and none of them connect. But Bow Wow hasnt let that stop him. Plz unlike Keri he has already established himself. Bow Wow has dropped two very decent mixtapes tho in between times so this may have potential. FInally, after fake beefs with soulja boy, mixtapes,and weekly spam-like youtube freestyles, here is New Jack City aka Nigga Please lol j/k!
1)Get that paper-Bow wow bragfest. I believe either Gucci mane or Yung Joc wrote this cuz his flow is exactly like the latters. And the Nitti beat is very boring and monotone. Boring
2)What they call me Ft Ron Browz & Nelly- Wtf kinda cookie cutter shit is this? The beat is very corny. Sounds like the theme song to a black nickolodeon sitcom circa 1998. I swear Ron Browz sounds like a rape victim with all that ohhh owww aieee shit. and Nelly doesnt really care anymore. Trash.
3)Roc the Mic Ft Jermaine Dupri- This is a decent song with bow wow and JD reminiscing about Bow Wow rise in the game. Beat is kinda weak and generic tho.
4)Been doin this Ft T.I- Bow Wow and his main ghostwriter. Beat sounds very trap musik like. Usual bragfest nothin special
5)You can get it all Ft John Austin- Weak. But this song coulda been much better if not for a) the obvious whatever you like rip-off that will turn ppl off automatically b) Bow Wow's rip off of Nelly which will turn ppl off 3)a really bad TLC Baby baby baby sample. I mean its just a anemic and weak. I betcha Kanye coulda added much more creativity with the sample.
6)Sunshine- Bow wow talks about a girl with a fat ass over a sample of that boots were made for walking over you song. Next.
7)Like This Ft Johnta Austin & Dondra- Is this a Alexandra O'Neil song that they dusted off and decided to make a song to? Very boring and skip worthy
8)She's my Ft T-Pain- Pain thankfully breaks the streak of shitty songs as he and bow make a decent version of Bobby Browns Tenderoni. It sounds like tenderoni on acid lol.
9)I aint playing Ft Trey Songz- I dont think trey songz has dropped or ever been featured on anything wack. Another chick song with a grillz like beat. But its decent.
10)Pole in my basement- The one chance bow wow has a chance to spit on somethin other then a shitty JD beat he ruins it. Drumma boy supplies a nice ass beat but bow wow just has to re-create lollipop even tho hes like 9 months late. The result is a song that is forced and corny.
11)Shake it Ft Swizz beatz-Probably the best song on the album. Beat knocks and bow's ryhmes are decent(cassidy likely wrote it). good club song.
Verdict- Despite a supposedly new attitude with the album title and parental advisory sticker, its the same bow wow. 11 songs is truly unacceptable for a nearly year long delayed album. And half them are terrible. Its unfortunate cuz bow wow has decent lyrics(songwriters) and charisma. But i think JD and the label doesnt know how to market him right. He obviously cant rap about drugs/gangsta shit since hes been around since 10 and would lose credibilty. So he just raps about the same girls and material shit. Only now its a little more vulgar. But his audience has grown up and now look to ppl like wayne for that kinda of music. So we have forced shit like pole in my basement and you can get it all, which ppl are just gonna roll their eyes at. And he needs to not let JD handle the bulk of production. I mean JD can make hot R&B tracks for Mariah Carey, but hip hop he has no clue. Wasnt grillz his last hot rap beat? And that was damn near six years ago. But yea if ur not one of the five 13 year olds who still has a bow wow poster over ur bed then id say avoid this.
What a sucky day this has been. I woke up with a brutal sore throat felt like sandpaper stuck in there. I think besides being kicked in the balls thats the worse feelin possible to me. The previous day i was in valois in Hyde Park(hey no problem Barack Obama used to eat there) after gettin Mark Levins new book. The place is basically a cafeteria so u can see them make ur shit. I ordered the french toast, everything omelet, turky patties, and hash browns(yep im a fat ass more on that another time). So im watchin the motherfucker cook all this shit with his bare hands. Im talkin mushrooms, toast, patties, green peppers, all with hands. Now I've worked in and around enuff kitchens to know this shit goes on all the time, but i dont want to see it first hand. Im thinking to myself i betcha this guy has been digging for gold or rubbing kids out in the cooler all day. But i didnt dwell on it. Almost immediately after eating the shit, I started sneezing like crazy. I thought it was allegies. So im sneezin through out the night and by the time i wake up full on throat soreness. I flunked my chem quiz today. When i mean flunk i mean i didnt answer anything except my name. I also wrote my paper on an element instead of an ingredient so who knows what will happen with that. Then when i took my practical exam in Anatomy & Physiology, my throat was killin me. Fuckin chloroseptic(sp)spray was not working. I basically handed my answer sheet to my professor about 5 min in the exam and left. I just wanted to pass out. Lol at work i couldnt even talk cuz my fukin throat was turned into hell, fire, and brimstone. I couldnt form a sentence without coughing up a lung. My manager saw me, looked at me like I had herpes on my lip, and said go home. So here I am lol.
Crackhead Video of the day
As usual, distracted by bullshit when i should be doing my paper for chem. Im waiting for ppl to get out of class so we can enjoy this nice ass weather before it rains or what not. But shit nothins up worked like a fuckin dog sat. I mean from 11am-2am. Yes i went from am to pm back to am. lol. a lot of ppl went to carbondale this wk for the playas ball and were all like u shoulda came it cracked drake shut shit down i was so fucked up yada yada the usual. Im not really into that standing around with thousands of other ppl lookin at clothes and shit so count me out. And drake will come to chicago so im not holdin my breath(not that i care to check for him anyway) For some strange reason i got pissed in my chem class this morning. I have this one presentation on hybrid orbitals and molecular bullshit with this one girl and she took my one idea and fuckin ruined it. Plus her breath was nasty. You know how you get pissed when someone has bad breath but you dont want to offend them by letting them know their shit stinks so you just shit there letting them ramble on all the while your getting pissed cuzz ur steady inhaling their toxic? Long ass sentence huh? But yea thats how it was so by the time she was done with her bullshit i was like w/e just stop talking lol. Anyway lets get to sum album reviews kiddies.
Jim Jones had that one big hit two years(I refuse to go into further details u guys know. Despite not really being a rapper, Jim has managed to release 3 ok albums for his standards and land a major deal. After breakups with past friends(max b and bff cam'ron) and the death of his byrdgang member/ghostwriters(stack bundles), Jones is ready to stand on his own as a so called "boss" with his fourth album Pray IV Reign. Lets see how that goes
1)Intro Ft Starr- I would like to see an album that doesnt have intro as the name of the first song. Its stating the obvious. The beat is cool some old funky 70s pimp shit. Jim spits some remembering old harlem days shit.
2)Pulling me back Ft Chink Santana-Beat is really snooze shit. Jones spits about haters trying to pull him back to the streets. album skip.
3)Let it off-This beat sounds like absolute shit wtf. I mean its a spanish guitar, a 1776 revolutionary war sounding snare drum, a fat bass from the late 70s/early 80s, and some random sample. it doesnt even matter what this song is about cuz you'll prolly skip this based on the annoying beat.
4)How to be a boss Ft Ludacris & NOE- Another corny beat. This sounds like a leftover from an old 98 terror squad mixtape. Ludacris manages to save this but barely.
5)Medicine Ft NOE and Chink Santana- Pussy is my medicine. Is this what rappers spend 6-7 months coming up with? The beat is a complete rip off of nigga what nigga who. Speaking of Jay-z, NOE sounds exactly like him circa 1996. Now i understand the obsession Jim has with Jay-z.
6)Frenemies-Jim gets into the situation about Cam'ron and Max B. Pretty good considering it actually has a story attached to it. Jim went in on Max B damn. Beat is cool but the isley bros sample is awful tho. This Chink Santana should listened to Nas's if i ruled the world to see how to properly flip that.
7)Precious Ft Ryan Leslie-The first good ass beat and its wasted so bad. Jones flow, voice, lyrics are exposed as it clash horribly with this smooth shit. I mean this dude actually spits this great gem(every obama needs a michelle/so little mama wont you be my michelle/michelle/my bell/i want you on my team cant you tell). pure trash. And his voice is too harsh on this smooth it out bruh.Suck cuz u can actually see someone like fabolous or even 50 murdering this shit.
8)Blow the bank Ft Oshy-This shit sounds like a metrosexuals dream song. I can see Ne-Yo or diddy getting ready for a sat night bumpin this. Beat sounds like synthesized shit and the singer sounds like the guy from next(i think thats the name of that group).
9)This is for my bitches Ft Oshy-This shit is starting to sound bad quick. Well another awful R&B song featuring the back bencher singer from the last song. Skip
10)Girlfriend Ft Juelz Santana & Oshy- Another garbage beat and raps about swag.
11)This is the life Ft Starr- Didnt Rick Ross have the exact same song on his album last year? I mean they even stole the chorus a lil bit. Beat sounds like some jeezy throwaway.
12)My My My Ft Rowana- This whole album is starting to sound like some late 90s shit. Jones reminisces about dead homies(stack bundles). A poured out 40 ounce woulda sounded much better lol j/k.
13)Pop off Ft NOE & Mel Matrix- Speaking of the 90s, this beat sounds like something off of sonic the hedgehog when he faces dr. robtnik. The typical group track about gangsta shit. Nothing special.
14)Pop Champagne Ft Ron Browz & Juelz Santana- How Ron Browz keeps a straight face while explaining how he doesnt bite t-pain is beyond me. This beat either annoys the shit outta me or is ok depending on what kinda mood im in. Juelz was kinda raw when he was hanging around wayne but hes back to his average style now
15)Rain Ft NOE,Rell,& Starr- lol its funny how i mention someone in the previous track and they manage to pop up in the next in some form. Beat is a complete rip off of I cant believe it. Its nice to see Rell on somethin. Its a shame he was on Rocafella all that time and didnt get a single out. Despite sounding like jay-z, NOE is pretty decent.
16)Na Na Nana Na Na Ft NOE and Brittney Taylor- Words cant describe how absolutely terrible this is.
17)Jackin swagga from us Ft Lil Wayne, Twista, & NOE- Its funny how this is supposedly a diss towards the ppl on the original song but yet he has the Jay-z clone on here and the beat is a generic up tempo version of the original. And wtf is wayne doing on here exactly? Why would you appear on a song thats a diss towards the original song your were featured on? 50 was right when he said wayne is a whore lol.
Verdict-I can honestly say this is one of the worst pieces of shit i ever heard. And i use to be the biggest dipset fan(and still am. diplomatic immunity come home with me, from me to you still gets play to this day)But this is terrible. How does this get cleared for release? When he was on Koch his albums were way better then this. I know its tough times but i think majors can still pay for ppl like pharrell, just blaze, etc. Yes I know 50 uses no name producers all the time but at least their decent, unlike the dudes on this album. Awful beats and too many ppl featured(and all of them sucked except NOE and ludacris)is what killed this. This is a clear cut example of what happens when you lose your best ghost writers(Max B, Stack Bundles)and leadership(Cam'ron). You drop Pray Iv Reign. And I would like an album that actually represents the album title. Wtf does blow the bank and na na nana have to do with pray iv reign? Wtf does pray iv reign even mean? Aww im pondering too much but yea this is trash.
To be honest i dont know much about Keri Hilson. I know she was on that annoying timbaland song a couple years ago and she ghostwrites shit for beyonce, ciara, pussycat dolls, etc. She also has released a thousand singles from this, none of which made any noise. Then she dropped turnin me on, which is gettin played everywhere now. Based on that song and the fact she looks good as hell, I decided to check this out lol.
1)Intro- Keri brags about some misc shit over a lame timbaland beat. Next
2)Turning me on- The smash single that everyone(including me lol)loves. Beat is crazy. Even tho polow the don is credited as the main producer we all no danja really did this beat cuz it doesnt sound like the usual stadium anthem shit polow does. Wanyes verse is fuckin hilarious lol.
3)Get your money Ft Trina & Keyshia Cole-Keyshia and Keri sound good on this shit but Trina ruins it with a trash verse. And why does she sound like that lil kid off of lil waynes label? Song basically is about fuck broke niggas get money. Ok song
4)Return the flavor Ft timbaland- I hate almost everything timbaland does these days so i have a bias on his beats lol. Keri and timbaland sound horrible together and the beat is just irritating. skip.
5)Knock you down Ft Ne-Yo & Kanye West-Kanye's verse sucked on this one and Ne-Yo was idk Ne-Yo? I dont get how that dude is big as he is but w/e good for him. Beat is ok but the synths is annoying.
6)Slow Dance-man this shit is raw as hell. Beat sounds like classic prince and Keri comes correct on the lyrics and vocals. Very good.
7)Make love- The beat sounds very familiar(and since polow is well known for jackin beats its def from some old song.) keri's voice is a lil grating a la mariah carey but its a nice lil love song.
8)Intuition-Keri sings about how she thinks her man may be cheating on her. Nothing special to me.
9)How does it feel-This beat sounds like the one timbo did for LL about 4 years ago(and it sucked then). Keri sings about the done to death topic of being with another man who treats her right and her ex feels shitty. skip
10)Alienated-Keri sings about not being over her ex. I guess this is a female thing cuz im not caring for these last couple of songs at all lol.
11)Tell him the truth-Pretty crazy song where Keri talks about how she cheated on her man and how she is scared to tell him. Beat sounds like that classic 90s jodeci, h-town, swv shit.
12)Change me Ft Akon- Akon has quickly morphed into the most annoying person to ever sing into a microphone. I mean has anyone ever told this guy how bad he sounds? He sounds like pure shit next to keri and completely riuns w/e potential this song had.
13)Energy-Beat sounds like somethin that one hit wonder who had a song with chris brown would sing over AKA too poppy for me. But the lyrics and vocals are pretty good if you can get over the beat.
14)Where did he go- snooze fest. timbaland is very lazy with the production on this song. Keri doenst talk about anything interesting and sounds too much like Beyonce on this.
verdict- I heard that this album has been pushed back for about a year and I can see why. Except for about 4-5 songs, the album is typical R&B that wont really set the world on fire. The main problem for me at least is that the production was handled mostly by timbaland/danja and polow da don who are very overrated to me. Im sorry but timbaland doesnt really sound to me like he cares for producing beats if it isnt with justin timberlake. And polow has been making that same heavy stadium big marching band synthesizer music for years. If it woulda been mixed up a lil with ppl like tricky stewart and rodney harrison i woulda enjoyed this a lil more. But w/e. If you havent been fiending for this album for the longest i wouldnt rush to hear this.
I remeber when i first heard shawty is the shit i was like wtf is this cookie cutter ass bullshit and whats with this dudes goofy ass high pitched voice? But, like everyone else, it eventually grew on me. Then when love/hate dropped i was like damn this dude aint half bad this is some innovative shit. So now this is love vs money. But dont let the lazy ass title fool u this album is fire.
1) Money intro
Some 9 sec bullshit. Must had to fill the whole 60 min or something.
2) Rockin that shit
The lead single everyone heard. I know how some ppl skip right past the radio single cuzz they heard it to death but i didnt thats how good this song is lol
3) Walkin on the moon Ft Kanye West
Like Yung LA said this is futuristic shit. The beat sounds like late 70s prince/off the wall MJ. Really feelin this. Kanye spits his usually craziness good to hear him rappin again. That bald girl from the luda vid must be bringin him to reality.
4) My love Ft Mariah Carey
Didnt really care for this but its decent Mariah still sounds good though
5) Put it down
Slow jam freaky shit. Dream says shit like im all up on u like a monster truck/im all up on u like a white tee on a thug lol. Good shit
6) Sweat it out
Another slow jam. lol love the intro when Dream says call leticia u beautician/cuzz ur hair gone need fixin. R.Kelly is currently somewhere listenin to this like damn i gotta step my game up lol
7) Take her home to my momma
Beat fuckin bangs. Sounds kinda like i love ur girl. But its a good song nevertherless
8) Love vs. Money pt 1
Lol at the machine gun snare drum. Dream talks about how he is sorry he lost his girl(nivea?) to sum dude(Wayne?) cuzz he was fuckin strippers at magic city lol. Good song tho
9) Love vs Money pt 2
Man the bass bangs on this shit. Much darker then pt 1. Dream basically reverse what he says in pt 1 and says fuck u nivea its ur fault too but have fun sippin lean with wayne while i fuck christian milian whos ten times hotter then u.
10) Fancy
This is a fucking beautiful masterpiece. And i usually dont say corny shit like that but if u heard this song you'll know what im talkin about. The piano is just great i guarantee they will play this at weddings 6 years from no a la ill make love to u.
11) Right side of my brain
Dream stepped his lyrics up big time for this shit. and his vocals is way better too. Cassie do u hear this lol? Beat sounds kinda too timbaland for me but its not that bad
12) Mr yeah
2nd fav song on here. Sounds like that one song beyonce sister did except you'll actually care about this. lol Dream says after some oww oww baby baby shit can we fuck now. Salute
13) Kellys 12 play
Speakin of kellz, dream pays homage to him by describing how hes fuckin a girl to the 12 play album. Good song. Especially like it cuzz im from chicago and i know a lot of ppl prolly gave birth off that album to sum bad ass kids whos prolly shootin up their school lol.
14) Let me see the booty Ft lil john
Good to see john off the milk carton. Dream basically talks about the song title lol. John screams his usual dumb shit thats about 5 years lame as hell. Beat bangs tho
Verdict-I think this is the best R & B album since confessions no bullshit. Production is top notch, great lyrics, every song is listenable. I thought Jamie's album was the shit. Now half off that will be erased off the ipod to make room for this. Dream basically took what was off his first album(which is great and still gets play) and perfected it. I especially appreciate that in the age of T-pain(who im not knockin and like), something fresh and original drops. Speaking of that, there is no t-wayne on this album, which is almost biblical for an album to succeed nowadays. But Dream definitely has a future in this and he wont suffer a sophomore slump(unlike J-Holiday, who has fallen off so hard that i betcha didnt know his sophomore album was out. Dont feel bad. I didn't either.)
Well ladies and gents everynow and then i will give reviews of things such as music, shows, movies, etc. But it more then likely will be music since i dont have the time really for tv and movies. But yea this 1st one is for gorilla zoe. U may remember him for the song hood nigga and then he fell off hard. Now hes back for 2nds. Lets listen shall we
1) Untamed gorilla Ft JC
Decent first song featuring some average back bencher R&B singer. I guess Trey Songz or Llyod was busy. Gorilla spits the usually trap shit,
2)What it is Ft Rick Ross & Kollusus
Zaythoven(Gucci Mane's producer) did this so you know the beats hot. Rick Ross and Zoe spit nothin really. Speakin of Gucci this Kollusus dude sounds like a str8 clone of him if gucci smoked newports all day instead of pop pills.
3) Dope boy
Zoe is 7 months late with the whole lollipop/whatever you like singing shit. Beat knocks though
4) Lost
I though wayne was on this when i heard it last summer? Guess Zoe's budget wasnt large enough to include him on the album version. Zoe is lost in life and doesnt know where to turn. Beat knocks.
5) Dumb
Zoe wants u to say dumb when somebody is stuntin. No. Try again.
6) Shit on 'em
i doo doo/i boo boo/i poo poo/i shit on em-chorus. Sample lyrics-watch me ball/diahrrea on u niggas like niagra falls. LOL WOW!
7) Hood clap
Sounds like Hood nigga two. Album skipper
8)Helluvalife Ft Gucci Mane & OJ the Juiceman
Gucci on here so you know its the shit lol. Zoe spits forgettableness and Juiceman spits the usually aye ok stupid fruity sometin. Everyone verse is like 30 sec long thats weak.
9)I got it Ft Big block
I thought pimpin ken said it is trickin if you got it thats why u called a trick? Zoe's song for the ladies. Falls short. This niggas singin is annoyin now.
10)Watch me ft Young Chris
Beat was wack so i skipped lol
11)Man I
Zoe talks about his struggle before his rap career. The beat and subject matter went hard i fuck with this.
12)Talk back Ft Ebonylove & Roxy Reynolds
One of the most funniest and sickest songs ever. Zoe spits lyrics which include words like slaughterhouse and periods. I mean im no prude but when did fuckin songs sound like a hostel scene. The pornostar Roxy Reynolds spits on here and she said nigga this aint Ramadan u gotta eat somethin which is the funniest shit i ever heard.
lol and when i meant spit i mean rappin. Just had to clarify that cuzz she is a pornstar lol
13) So sick
Zoe talks about the haters who is sick cuzz ur so jealous that u dont have a rented lambo and cubic zircona jewelry like he does. Fuck a mortgage and 401k nigga u aint shinin lol
14) Echo
This sounds like some shit that should be on timbaland's latest album. Trash.
Verdict-This is just ok but it woulda been better if 1) the nigga would stop singin so much(2 The songs were current. Most of this was on mixtapes last summer. Im thinkin if ur album is constantly gettin pushed back then u would at least record new songs.(3 Boyz n tha hood members were on here. I thought he was in the group with them? And wtf does Zoe have on Block that he can get two albums out but Jody Breeze( whos is a way better rapper imo) can barely drop a mixtape? But all in all this a forgetable album that wont do nothin for zoe except get him dropped from bad boy and land on Koch or whatever basement label Joe Budden is on this month. This album will be a holdover in the trunk till Gucci's new mixtape of the week drops.
