lol. This is a big fucking bile of horse shit. 

- No Help is of Trae's 2006 album.
- 3 16s uses exactly the same beat as UGK's 3 16s.
- In My City is of that 2003 ANB mixtape.

Yeah it does sound like it was mostly thrown together. Also the beats don't do them justice IMO, that "Whos The Man" is by far my fav and that was the single. That beat was banging.

for the most part I thought the album was pretty good though, I might cop it

Ready to give my full review.

1. Umm Hmm - 5/5 - Now this is how u start off a Z-Ro/Trae album!
2. Still Throwed - 4.5/5 - Sounds a lot like Bun-B version...not as good as that one, but still a hot track fa sho.
3. Who's the Man - 5/5 - I am loving this one!
4. Whoa Skit - Skit
5. Whoa - 4.25/5 - Decent, not somethin I'll bump a lot though
6. Rain - 4/5 - same as whoa
7. Miss My Dawg - 3.5/5 - what kind of beat is this? someone hook up the og
8. I Wanna Get High - 3/5 - kind of fuckin beat is this?
9. No Help - 4.75/5 - old, but dope track
10. Down In Texas - 3.75/5 - average
11. SOS SKIT - SKIT
12. SOS - 3/5 - filler, fuck a Nitti beat
13. 3 16's -5/5 - hot ass track
14. Picture Me Rollin - 4.5/5 - another dope album cut
15. Turnin' Heads - 4.75/5 Love the sample; good beat; overall great track.
16. In My City - 3.5/5 - Same beat as an old Mobb Deep song lol
17. Still Get No Love - 3.75/5 - avg album cut
18. Keep On - 4.5/5 - Good way to close out the album

All in all, the album certainly isn't bad, far from it. It is just missing those gripping tracks that really move you. The only songs I will remain bumping are: Umm Hmm, Still Throwed, Who's the man, No Help, 3 16s, Picture Me Rollin, Turnin Heads and Keep On.

I just thought i'd get more replay value from an ABN album than 8 songs out of 16.

It isn't the first time that there's been a beat jack on a trae release. That Smile track from Life Goes On was originally on Messy Marv & San Quinn - Explosive Mode 2

[Lunatic]

^weird shit

[Al Bundy]

the original miss my dawgs completely shits on the retail version. was totally expecting this CD to be better but it's not even gunna get a purchase from me and i'm a big Trae fan.

yeah wow the og is so much better, it's ridiculous; cant even compare the 2. I feel that, cant blame u; it's an average cd.

[SmokinDro520]

i bumped this all weekend.Still throwed is da shit,i dont care how similar it sounds to get throwed.Im also feelin Picture me and Turnin heads(this is gonna get alot of play in the ride).Overall i was let down with the album,i was expectin more replay value like luna said..I'd give it a 3.5/5.

[ABN]

i´d give this shit 3.75/5 and i´m a huge Trae and Z-Ro fan. it was pretty dissapointed, looking forward to Crack though. and for the people wondering why they used to some old songs and that it sounds thrown togheter have to remember that they did it in like a week.
