Grow Up Please, Jan 20 2004

Rubberband Man? This CD is for kids. Grown men can listen to some real kings of the south with CELO or 8 ball, but this is really just a lil' 'un from around the way who happened to get a record deal. Nothing remarkable, you probably have friends who can rap like him, except maybe not as annoying. If you're a fan of him already then you will probably like anything he does, so happy listening. If you are looking for some good new music and are over the age of 13, keep looking.

Most of what needs to be said about this album has already been said. It's boring.
But the real reason I posted this is cause another reviewer said they say them performing live and was "amazed". What the hell? Fifty has the worst stage presence of anyone except maybe Jay-Z. He can't rap live for shhh, wheezing and sounding, well, uh retarded, but thats the same in his studio rap.
I can't wait until white america stops wanting to see black people kill each other and be ignorant, because as long as thats what they want, thats what mainstream will give them.

And Now, A Fair And Balanced Review, Jan 20 2004

If you are a die hard fan of Jay-Z and like anything and everything he does, then why are you even looking at these reviews? Just go buy the album and continue to follow the shepherd around.
This will be an unbiased look at the album.

The production is good on this album as Jay-Z enlists a dream team of producers to show their sparks on this one.
Unfortunately, not all the producers decide to show their sparks.
And now, a breakdown.
