Heard it, can't really say I liked it too much.  Not bad, not just good enough that I'd ever want to listen to it again.

I have to admit that at this point, I'm really, REALLY getting tired of G-Unit albums.  They're having the same problem that No Limit had after a while and which Dipset's had since they began - which is that they're all starting to sound too much alike.  The singles, the styles, the production, the lyricism...it's all just waaayyy too predictable at this point.

Yeah the direction of their last 3 albums (Yayo, Mobb Deep, Banks) is a really dark,grimey vibe, stret topics, using a lot of up and coming producers. While I really enjoyed Mobb Deeps album created like that becuase its their style, Banks sounds boring on several tracks. He needs more uptempo production, not just those slow, dark sounds.

I think Bucks will be different and dope, Hot Rod already said hes having a completley different album, sort of "pimp" orientated and we'll see what 50 will bring to the table (he'll definetly have better production).

Gonna make a quick review of the album after cuple more spins.

Yeah don't bother listen to the original song which will no doubt be 10,000,000 times better than this.

no one can fuck with the God.

How does this compare to his previous album? because I have got to be honest although the rhymes were not as sharp as you heard on the many mix tapes he had done beforehand I did enjoy listening to the album. Till the end and southside story were real gems imo.

It's not really worse than his last album...actually, it might even be better in some ways.  It's just that it doesn't sound different enough, either from his last or from G-Unit albums in general.  More freshness needed.

One thing I will say that G-Unit needs is better producers, and Banks at least does has some of that on this album.  Havoc produced "Rotten Apple", and that song pretty much tops anything else that follows (in fact, it got my expectations up cause it comes first).  Now that he's on G-Unit, he needs to start producing tracks for them much, MUCH more.  And while I'm at it, it probably wouldn't hurt to get Alchemist in the studio, too (Banks sounded good on the 1st Infantry record).  Also, Timbo wasn't a bad choice for "My House"...that joint has the kinda vibe that G-Unit could use more of.  It's all about diversity, diversity...I'm just tired of hearing the same sorts of mammoth keyboards and basslines so much.

After listen #1, it doesn't sound that bad.  I am actually impressed considering all the comparison to Obie's album.  I like this more than Obie's.   I would say a solid 7/10 but overall not that bad for a sophomore album.

Well, the sound of the album is completley different thatn Hunger For More which had more uptepmo and commercial friendly tracks. This one is really dark, grimey vibe sort of like Mobb Deeps cd.

Dope tracks: Rotten Apple, Survival, Playboy 2, Cake, Make A Move, Help, Addicted, You Know The Deal, Get Clapped, NY NY, One Night Stand, Iceman, Gilmores and Hands Up sounds dope becuase its the only uptempo track on the album

Wack: Stranger, Change

Lots of up and coming producers which has its advantages and disadvantages.

Compared to Hunger For More its like this:

Best tracks on HFM >>> best track on Rotten Apple
Vibe overall on Rotten Apple >> vibe HFM 
 
So I'd give this a 4/5
