| The ingredients then stay the same
for the remaining ten songs, that either promise
to "I'll
Beat Yo Ass" or ask you to "Wiggle
Dat Ass". With the people addressed
by the one, respectively the other, being of different
sexes though. On the first "I'll
Beat Yo Ass",
Swissa Sweet comes through with a working beats,
that's not dependent on canned sounds that much.
The latter is also produced by this cat, and starts
off slow with a bass riff, to then add the sounds
for some club shake down. And remember, Crip Walking
is not a dance. So do the buckhead or whatever instead.
Or just watch the ladies that do follow the command
and "Wiggle
Dat Ass". |
| The females are further addressed
on "Fucking You Tonight".
The tone of the music is smoothed out, while the
lyrics get seriously nasty. Then there's also "Me
& You Against The World", where
the singing lets us cringe, while afterwards the
lyrics talk about everything the title promised,
with not everything coming out too roses and candy
chocolates though. An interesting track is "Hip
Hop Celebration", where lyrically
the two rep hip hop. And that's a rare occasion
that people in their subgenre do that. Well, lyrically
the bigging up rap is for a big part stuck to the
chorus, as there's a lot of rhetoric about all the
other typical topics on here also. Nevertheless,
this is a welcome change of theme. |
| As for the men, there's still "Game
Recognize Game" and "Every
Don Has His Day", where the game
is sprout and real players recognize. The latter
than is better than average, as it's finally going
straight out for that dirty southern sound. And
again, Swissa was responsible for the beat. With
finally there's "I
Did It All", where the two talk
about what they had to do, did, wanted to do, or
unfortunately did. Funnily enough, next is "Forgive
Me", that as every other thug before,
finds the time to ask for forgiveness for all the
deeds they did. |
| So basically you get everything
stereotypical about this album: the I'm hard song,
the I fuck sung, the I'm sorry song, and everything
else in between. So you struggle to find something
no one has ever said before. In combination with
it, you get random beats, that only at times really
stand out. Making all of this just average. It's
nothing horrible, it's too bland for that. But it's
elevator Gangsta rap. It's just struggling to stand
out in any kind of way, because there's so little
recognizable them, meaning the rappers and the producers.
These guys need to find their niche, take what makes
them and put that in their music. Therefore it's
good music to listen to in the car, when you don't
want to get distracted, but still come real and
don't play Burt Bacharach. But it's no rewind material,
no necessary goose bumps report of the streets,
it's just there and nothing special. |
