Mista Don't Play

We haven't been checking for some good old greasy southern bwok bwok rap lately, have we? So the time is only right to mix that syrup and put that Project Pat on. And this guy opens with "Chickenhead", a slow rolling cut, featuring the Three 6 Mafia in the back, frying up the pan, plucking out the feathers. La Chat is also on this first single to the album, and she's not the one to just have some playas be spitting in her face, as she answers with balls. If that actually is possible. The "Out There Part 2 (Skit)" then takes us to to "Cheese And Dope", that features the totally well constructed production of DJ Paul and Juicy 'J' (who produced the whole album). While based on synthesizer and keyboards, they hide the obviousness to create something gripping and orchestrated. Pat in the mean time gives us a lyrical grill, him going "walking around on chrome, wit yo bitch, smokin' dro / fucking all in yo home, while you kissing on da lips, / she be sucking on ma dick, grip the glock - sixteen booms as I dip / through the streets of da hood, north Memphis Hollywood / represent it, to da max, out this out of state facts / trying to stack me some pape's, got my foot on you snakes / trying to squeeze, hustle-in, for you niggaz that I fade".

The dope productions continues on the slow rolling "Whole Lotta Weed", that has the two producers pull off a cool melody, while Pat flows in a staccato way, talking about the green, the hay, the most inducing. The next cut then goes by the name of "Don't Save Her" feat. Crunchy Black, that does have a southern rattling beat, but not the quality of the other tracks (despite the nifty echo chamber effect). Once more the females of the planet are being talked about, with the shady bitches being addressed. Them two producers do know how to create a dramatic backdrop, what they again show on "If You Ain't From My Hood", a track that they both bless with their rhyming too. It's still Pat though that goes "weak motherfucker wanna stab when you see me / couldn't wait to snitch punk / bitch you wanna be me / gotta pay some dues but my shoes to big for ya / don't be out here trying to claim my hood I don't know ya". The next cut "Gorilla Pimp" is making it hard for us to find props for it, as the beat would have been ill if it had come out in the Bay Area 6 years ago.

A previously released track appears next, as we have heard the "Break Da Law 2001" cut featuring the Three 6 Mafia on the newest Funkmaster Flex album. So we continue on to "So Ho" featuring Lord Infamous, that tries to get a little latino flavor going, to no effect. Better while still not too happening is "We Can Get Gangsta" that gives us Pat doing a little story telling of thugs favorite past times, gone sour, due to some snakes pulling stunts. Passing by "Ski Mask" feat. Crunchy Black, "Life We Live" definitely is so dope, because of the Curtis Mayfield sample. This might almost be a little too romantic for Pat, but with such a miraculous tune making your track, you can't go wrong.

Almost a tongue twister, the next cut is called "Y'all Niggaz Ain't No Killaz, Y'all Niggaz Some Hoes". Once again the Paul and 'J' pull off something dramatic, in drastic contrast to the track leading up to this one. On "Ooh Nuthin'" Pat is giving us his Romeo side, not really though, when he talks about sexing up the hoes, when he goes "I beez on these big booty galz that our stouter / then the couchi hole, let her know I'ma bout her / damn meal chicken cause she kickin while I doubter / I ain't being mean but her pockets on the droughta". Such softness (hahha), shouldn't be taking the wrong way, that's why next up we get "We Ain't Scared Hoe". Paul and 'J' hook up some mystical singing for the background, they play around with the drum programming, to make this an exciting moment in a thriller flick. Even deeper and somewhat melancholic is "Aggravated Robbery", while "North North" doesn't manage to have the same depth, and Pat uses the track to rep his part of the town.

The next really dope beat comes on next with the humbly titled "Fuckin' With The Best" featuring the Hypnotize Camp Posse. Unbelievably slow, this rolls down like a force collecting avalanche, a swarm of patient cougars, that are just waiting for the right moment to rip your heart out. And then there's only the "Mission Impossible (Pt. 5 Million) - Outro" left, that shouts out some more records that are to be expected. And so we can conclude that we backpacker are usually trying to stray as far away from records like this as possible. But why? It's not like you ever heard one from the beginning to the end, have you? Cause if so, you'd be nodding your head to this too, there is a certain illness about these eerie beats, while you do can dismiss the lyrics as mediocre rhyming. But don't be talkin' bout ish you be never heard. Bwok bwok.
