Big Tymers, the richest duo in
the industry is back with their 4th album "Hood Rich" featuring production by
Mannie Fresh and a few tracks by Jazze Pha.
"Oh Yeah" has a bouncy hip-hop feel to it. This track features Boo &
Gotti. Mannie Fresh raps first and his verse is about gettin a good girl and never doing
her wrong, buying her ice and keepin her lookin nice, up next is Baby and he raps mostly
about cars.
"Still Fly" is the first single off this album, I'm sure you've seen the
video by now. The beat may be the best aspect about this song, Mannie Fresh produced a
real nice track here. The chorus is very catchy and the verses are nice also, during the
end of the song, they exchange bars with each other and that is the best part of this
song.
"Sunny Day" is a real nice laid back track, I keep on waitin for Al Green
to come in on it somewhere. This track was produced by the great Jazze Pha, one of the
hottest producers out there right now. Its nice to hear some different production on a
Cash Money album and he does a great job here. This song is mostly about stuntin during
the sunny days.
Another track produced by Jazze Pha is "I'm Comin" this is also a very
tight track, the beat is real, you can tell that Jazze Pha made this track 'cash money
like' cause they flow on it perfectly. Mikkey, Gilly & T.Q. are featured on this track
and they keep it tight throughout
"Gimme Some" almost sounds like an old G-Funk track, like something that
Nate Dogg would sing on. The singing throughout this tracks starts to get a little
annoying, finally about 2 minutes into the track Mannie Fresh comes with a verse, but its
too late to save the song.
"Get High" has a tight as hell beat to it, it's half soul, half funk
sounding. The chorus is done by Jazze Pha and its real nice. This song is all about gettin
fucked up. This song is basically an R&B track, it would've been nice to her some
rappin on this one.
"Put That Shit Up" definately is the most bangin track on the album, the
beat is a true swanga and banga. This is some classic Cash Money type of shit, you'd love
to hear more of this throughout their rosters' albums. This track features some of the
newer Cash Money Millionaires, Lac & Stone. The concept of this song is get bigger and
better shit for yourself. Turn your 16's into 22's, etc. Like the majority of this album,
this track is filled with braggin about shit that no-one can relate to, but if thats what
you like to hear, you'll love this track.
"Da Man" sounds too much like an R&B track to me, like much of this
album its heavily laced with singin all in the song, most folks dont buy rap albums to
hear R&B. Trick Daddy makes an appearance on this song and he comes with decent
lyrics, talkin about gettin out the ghetto and supportin his fam.
"Lil Mama" has a real tight beat, this is the type of beat you hear and
know that it came from New Orleans. This song is about females that need to stop being bad
girls, they need to stop shakin it and go back to class and shit like that. Of course
previously in the album, on a track called "Pimpin" they wanted hoes to get on
the track and sell they pussy and make money for em, which is it?
This album is flooded with way too much singing, the beats of the album accompanied
with that singing gives this album an incredibly mainstream feel to it, with absolutely no
street appeal. The constant stuntin or bragging of their shit that no-one can relate to
has gotten too old. This album does have some high moments with 4 or 5 tracks with real
tight beats, especially Jazze Pha's, but thats about it. But, If you're Cash Money fan you
will like this album and should pick it up. If you are looking for a street album, this
aint it. |
