I definetly agree with what a few people said; if you look at this track by track everything is dope but the album is all over the place, just like L.A.X. It's like nobody has the guts to carry an album by himself anymore, thank god for Nas.My fav. track at the moment is Last Of A Dying Breed, Luda murdered it and Wyldfyer dropped a Just Blaze-ish beat. Wayne has a nice verse but his feature is unnecessary, I'd rather hear another Luda verse.
Not as impressed as some of the first impression posters.. Some standout tracks, but too many poppy mainstream tracks and too many wack features.Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Plies & Chris Brown = instant "next track" button.
Review.1. Intro - 4.5/5 - sick ass intro and sets up nicely..2. Undisputed - 4.75/5 - crazy lyrical track, loved it from the first listen3. Wish You Would W/ T.I. - 4.25/5 - getting old now..many didnt like it, i like it, it's straight.4. One More Drink W/ T-Pain - 4/5 - has grown on me..nice and smooth..comical 2..good for a mainstream track.5. Call Up the Homies W/ The Game & Willy Northpole - 3.75/5 - don't see the big deal..Willy Northpole came straight though.6. Southern Gangstas W/ Rick Ross & Playaz Circle - 3.5/5 - the beat is cool..2 bad rick ross sucks on this though..Playaz Circle was disappointing 2..7. Everybody Hates Chris W/ Chris Rock - 4/5 - cool, but nothing at all groundbreaking 'bout this record..8. What Them Girls Like W/ Chris Brown & Sean Garrett - 2.75/5 - been out for a while..1st single..horrible..what an awful, annoying hook..9. Nasty Girl W/ Plies - 3.5/5 - god damn i hate swizzy lol..this beat ain't his worst, but still a whatever beat..expected this record to be a disaster, not as bad as i anticipated..Plies came ok..10. Contagious W/ Jamie Foxx - 3.75/5 - beat real smooth, i like this shit..Jamie Foxx came correct on this hook..far from groundbreaking again though..jamie foxx verse was sick though..11. Last Of a Dying Breed W/ Lil Wayne - 4.5/5 - this beat is fuckin hot..pretty hot song..12. MVP - 4.75/5 - much love to luda for fuckin with premo who came dope..luda doesn't sound out of place at all..13. I Do It For Hip-Hop W/ Nas & Jay-Z - 4/5 beat is cool, nothin special..cool though..Nas came straight..WOW what the fuck at the Jay-Z flow on this underwhelming for the lineup..14. Do the Right Thing W/ Common & Spike Lee - 4.75/5 - crazy beat..luda kills it..common merks it as usual..after 1 listen, its ok, 6.5-7/10..problem is a lack of standout tracks and just nothing really groundbreaking; the following records are not bad songs, but have nothing special to them at all - Intro, Call Up the Homies, Southern Gangsta, Everybody Hates Chris, Nasty Girl, I Do It For Hip-Hop - Hopefully the bolded 1s can grow on me, cause i see the potential for that to happenContagious & 1 More Drink are solid mainstream friendly cuts; I know what them girls like is just awful.Undisputed, Wish You Would, Last Of a Dying Breed, MVP & Do the Right Thing are the only 5 GOOD, standout songs..
exactly, album being way too hyped on here thus far
