This is Kingpin Skinny Pimp's
9th CD. Yes 9. Skinny Pimp is almost a religion for some folk. Their bible is his first cd
release "King Of Da Playazball" The production & lyrics were perfect and
having the Prophet Posse as featured artists also helped. So the question about his new
album is always "was it better than King Of Da Playazball?" The answer has
always been no. Will this album come close? Alot of fans hope so, the Rap Hustlaz record
label who scooped up Skinny Pimp hope so and so do we.
Lookin for some of the underground sound by Skinny? Well on 'My Klick So
Thick" your apetite should be satisfied. This track got a little bit of twistin in
and the track is filled with piano, its just a real hard beat produced by DJ Squeeky. The
chorus is taken from a line that Gangsta Blac said: 'My click so thick, my click so thick,
so watch yo fuckin self hoe, Run yo lip, catch a clip, we represent through the do'
The Fat Mac, Eightball lends his talents to "TV's & Wang" the title
explains itself. If you ridin, then turn your tv's on and let your system wang. And if you
got the wang in your shit, then this is gonna hit hard, it got a bumpin bassline in it. Yo
Gotti is also featured on this track and everybody comes with some tight verses.
"Do What You Do" features Young Weezy aka Lil Wayne from them Cash Money
Millionaires, this track is all about do what you want to do and dont worry about what
anyone has to say. From cocaine to codeine, from dank to drank, the message is do that
shit if you want to. Lil Wayne has 2 verses on this bouncy / gangstafied track and he
doesnt let down, even if you dont like Weezy, you got to feel him on this track cause he
comes real tight with both of his verses. Did he direct a line at Juvenile? You be the
judge: 'You know the youngin from the Cash Money Clan, I'm 500 degreez, you know what I'm
sayin' Well Kingpin also has 2 verses on this track, they werent his best verses ever, but
he still goes off.
"Work For Me" features the Rap Hustlaz, this song has an old soul feel to
it, its a real laid back type of track. Its all about pimpin them hoes on the track and
gettin paid. Those who've followed Skinny Pimp for a long time knows that everyone of his
albums, he's got some songs dedicated to pimpin and this one aint no different. Except for
its better than most.
"Runnin Wild" samples a little of its beat and its chorus from
"Ghetto Child". The 2nd verse by Skinny is one of the best I've heard from him
in a long while, part of it is actually old, but he goes the fuck off on it. Like alot of
the other tracks on the album this beat would best be described as having a soul feeling
to it. Soul-Gangsta is really what it is.
When "Kickin In Ya Door" comes on you can tell its gonna be a real hard
track and thats exactly what it is. This is the other side of Skinny Pimp, the Gangsta
side. Indo G is featured on this track, we havent heard much from him lately, hopefully
we'll be hearing alot more from him in the future, cause he still has his skills and
displays them on this track.
"North Memphis Niggaz" is another laid back type of track, more of a
summer track to ride to. This song is all about stayin out North in Mempho and just
everyday shit that goes down. The chorus was pretty much jacked from Eazy-E, thats really
the only downfall of this track.
Another track produced by DJ Squeeky is "Roast Dem Hoes / Cook Em" this
is a gangsta track, Skinny has 3 tight verses on this song, in parts of it he uses some
old lines which is disappointing, but he still comes real nice on this one.
"The Real Chewin 2003" is basically a remix for the classic 'Lookin For
Da Chewin' It's a good remake and if you like the original than you will like this song
too, but godamn I'm tired of hearing this song. Why not remake 'Pimpin & Robbin' with
2-11?
The last track that was produced by DJ Squeeky is "Let's Make A Stang"
(For those who dont know stang aka sting is basically a robbery or a come-up) Dre Day is
featured on this track and so is Jewel Sanchez and he has a pretty good verse on here.
Skinny Pimp flows first and last, his last verse was tight as hell, he talked bad as hell
about somebody. One of the best parts of this song, the way they did was tight as hell, it
was done by sampling some of his older lyrics and using them for the chorus, like they
used to do back in the day.
"Hands Out My Pocket" features L.I. and this is probably the hypest track
on the album, the beat has xylophone, trumpets, cymbals and fast hi-hats in the beat along
with a bumpin bassline. Skinny may have directed some bad words towards 666: "Slob on
my yawk (gun), cause you like to talk, when you see me face to dick-face, dont say shit
just walk" This is some shit you gonna turn up real loud and swang to it.
"Hoes In The Shake Junt" wasnt what I expected it to be, I figured it was
gonna be a bouncy club track, but thankfully its not. The chorus is from an old line he
said in a verse on a previous album and the beat is some mellow shit. Skinny is the only
one flowing on this track and he flows on all of his 3 verses.
"Cocked And Ready" is the last track, this is basically snippets
containing tracks from upcoming Rap Hustlaz albums. The first song on the snippet is by Yo
Gotti from his album "Life" and it samples "Posse
On Broadway" by Sir-Mix-A-Lot, this shit is tight as fuck! Up next is a Monkey On A
Stick" by another one of their artists Mista IAN off of his album "Twenties
On A Spaceship", but his song was awful, take that shit back to 1993
and do it with DJ Jimi. Up next is a track by one of Rap Hustlaz groups: Skinny Pimp &
Gangsta Blac and if their album "The Mayor And The Pimp"
is as good as this song, then you better watch out for that one. The last snippet was from
Criminal Manne's upcoming album "Play Times Over" and
the song by Criminal Manne was tight as fuck too.
This album was tight all the way through, Sliscee Tee and DJ Squeeky
had some great production on this, Skinny had some great lyrics and its a bangin cd.
I cant say that this album is better than "King Of Da Playazball" but its
close, its his 2nd best album.
Watch out for Rap Hustlaz, they doin it mane. Rap Hustlaz has the potential
to become the best label in Memphis. keep it up, dont pimp your artists. |
