The Pimp is free!
Pimp C aka Sweet Jones of U.G.K. is out and
bringin it hard. The first track off of "Pimpalation"
is an intro and the beat is on some layed back
pimpin type of shit. Wish he would've flowed on,
cause he coulda tore it up.
"I'm Free" is the first song on the album and the
only one without any guest appearances. It samples
the hook and the beat is inspired by Tom Petty's
classic "Free
Fallin" The bassline is real throwed.
"Kockin Doors" has Pimp C talkin on the beef
between Z-Ro & Slim Thug and Paul Wall &
Chamillionaire. Basically tellin them they need to
stop the beef and make some money.
The hook is is very catchy but the beat aint that
tight.
"Rock 4 Rock" features Scarface & Bun B. Godamn
thats a couple of nice features to have on your
song. The beat has some church organ in it and
some strings along with some electric guitar
throughout the hook. The song is all about whippin
up the soft into hard. Very hard track.
"Pourin Up" may be the jam of the summer down here
in the south. Pimp C flow so hard on it, it's
rediculous. He raps a little faster than usually,
but as always he holds it down. Mike Jones & Bun B
are featured on this track.
Slim Thug is featured on "Working The Wheel" You
would figure if you get the chance to throw a
verse down with Pimp C you would write a good
verse. Slim Thug doesnt subscribe to that
philosophy, skip the first verse on this track and
move on to Pimp C's.
Perhaps the most anticipated and suprising track
on the album to H-Town vets is "Havin Thangs 06"
ft. Big Mike. If you havent heard Big Mike's album
"Somethin Serious" Find it now!!! This is one of
the hardest songs ever made.
Trae & Chamillionaire join Pimp C on "Overstand
Me" like alot of songs by Bun or Pimp, this beat
utilizes the church organ and plenty of high cats.
Also like alot of their songs, the hook is sampled
from previous lines that they delivered on old
songs. Dont get me wrong though, that is tight. I
wouldnt want it any other way.
Ladies & Gentlemen! Jazze Pha produced (ruined)
"On Your Mind" The beat is a little too happy, but
if you like Jazze Pha productions, you'll like
this track and "The Honey" which was earlier in
the album, also produced by Jazze.
There's a handful of
songs on here that I wasnt feeling, but most of
them were throwed and if you're a fan of UGK or
southern rap in general, you should definately
check this CD out.
If you spring for
the 2-disc set, the 2nd disc is the chopped and
screwed version by Mike Watts of Swishahouse.
It's definately worth it, the chops are on point
like always with Watts. |
