400 Degreez [Clean]

Amazon.com
Climbing on the burly shoulders of the No Limit record label, New Orleans's Cash Money Records leads the Dirty South's second assault on the ears of the rest of the country. But it wasn't until Juvenile's conversational "Ha," a furiously paced monologue dwelling on the details of everyday life, broke that the label was able to establish itself with a single that would snap northern necks. 400 Degreez, the album from which "Ha" is drawn, marks a high point in the South's musical output. Producer Manny Fresh--who's responsible for all the Cash Money production--rarely strays far from the region's bass roots, blending it with strings, keys, and other layers to make it more palatable to the masses. And it's Juvenile, with his hurried slurs, who dances the shimmy best, from the anthemic "Run for It" to the New York-ready braggadocio of "Juvenile on Fire," on which Fresh shakes it up like maracas on Cinco de Mayo. --Jon Caramanica

anthem king indeed!.......2006-06-14

Read the below review Street-Hop-1977 wrote titled "Street Anthem King."

That pretty much sums up all there is to say about Juvenile and 400 Degreez.

Yeah, Juvey's good for a few hit party singles from time to time. Yes, he a Southern rap legend and yes, 400 Degreez is considered his classic.

Juve got skills, but Wayne is better now!

Street Anthem King.......2006-06-14

I'm not hatin' on Juvey ... he do got skillz (well, more than most at what used 2 be his Cash $$$ Millionaires Camp -- well, okay, Wayne on top now).

I'm a hardcore hip hop fan but I do listen to different kinds and from different regions. I'm a casual Juvenile fan at best, so please take that into consideration with this review.

Juvey was introduced to mainstream with anthemic hits like "Ha", "Back Dat A## Up" and "Follow Me Now" from this album 400 Degreez.

And what have we heard from Juvenile since this 1998 LP?

More anthemic jams like "U Understand", "I Got Dat Fire," "Mama Got A##," "(Move In) Slow Motion", and "Rodeo."

If you 13, you'll probably think there's no better album out than this one.

If you just into hip hop for party jams, you'll probably enjoy this album as well.

But if you're 25 or just a little more mature, this album will sound dated and loose some steam after 10+ replays.

Juvenile will rightfully go down as one of the legends of Southern rap music, but me personally, I just have to be in the mood to hear Juvenile -- otherwise I'm rockin' some other sh%t.

But, overall, if you can listen to some rap music without taking lyrics too seriously other than just having a good time, this album is recommended.

Also, considering so many of his subsequent albums have been hit or miss, 400 Degreez is THE Juvenile LP 2 cop.

Snuggly Naptime Fun.......2006-05-01

I really can't add any more than what has already been written about the classic 400 Degreez. My children love it dearly, along with several other Juvenile albums and videos. So let me just add this information I learned about Juvenile's music. By the way, his excellent earlier albums and first video should have received more awards but had not reached full popularity yet like his later albums:

Best Juvenile Cd........................2006-02-22

Folks from places other than New Orleans have said that Juvenile raps like he's deaf. Maybe it's the lazy-tongued drawl. Maybe it's how he randomly adds and subtracts syllables. Maybe it's because some of his favorite words have no written equivalent, or precise meaning - words like whoalay or shipe. But it's no speech impediment. It's New Orleans Third Ward Ghetto - a second language. Juvenile's not deaf. He's bilingual.

Folks outside of New Orleans have also said that Juvenile can't rap. Truth be told, he can't. Not in a Rakim, KRS-One sort of way. But to those who live in and around the Magnolia Housing Project of Uptown New Orleans, not only can Juvenile rap, Juvenile and his fellow Hot Boyz - B.G., Lil' Wayne and Turk - are rap.

New Orleanians have an odd habit of adding affirmative or declarative words at the end of sentences. "I can't go tonight, no." "The test was hard, yeah." Or as Juvenile begins "Ha": "That's you with that bad-a** Benz, huh?" (It's written "Ha." He means "Huh?" As in: "Right? Don't you agree? Isn't it so?") "Ha" is the first single - an updated, remodeled and better version of Juvenile's regional hit, "Solja Rag."

Some of "Ha" is funny - "That's you that can't keep a ol' lady 'cause you keep f*****' her friends, huh?"

Some of "Ha" is cruel - "That h** don't know when to shut her mouth up, huh?/You gon' knock that h*** teeth out, huh?"

Some of "Ha" is criminal - "You know how to work a triple beam, huh?/It ain't hard as it seems, huh?"

Some of "Ha" is just life - "Some of your partners [are] dope fiends, huh?/You don't really wanna f*** wit' them n***** huh?/You come up wit' them n*****, huh?/You stuck wit' them n*****, huh?"

"Ha" may be either a subtly nuanced work of genius or a beautiful accident. Or both.

If you're looking for complex rhyme schemes, complicated flows or advanced subject matter, keep looking. Juvenile raps are strictly rhyme/rhyme, switch. Rhyme/rhyme, switch. His idea of a complex rhyme is status and at/us. (Get it? Both syllables.) His topics are basic and you've heard it all before - wine, women, weapons. The usual. Repeatedly.

Despite these limitations, what keeps 400 Degreez interesting is style. Juvenile chants/sings/raps his lyrics in a deceptively simple way that makes you think maybe you could be a rapper. But you'd best believe that it takes talent. If it didn't, this writer would be a Hot Boy too instead of just writing about them.

In varying combinations, the other three Hot Boyz appear on almost half of the album's 13 songs. They too, sound like average rappers. You'll keep hitting your repeat button though. B.G. has an ominous, dark drawl that makes everything he says sound dangerous even when it's not. Lil' Wayne has the nasal whine of a kid and a funny tendency to say words in pairs - his diamonds don't gleam, they "gleam-gleam." He's not riding on twenties; he's on "twenny-twen-twens." Nothing he says sounds particularly dangerous even when it is. ("All my enemies/See me comin'/All my enemies/Pew! - Be runnin'." From the gunfire, he means. Yeah, right. You'll be laughing. Wayne's laughing too - "I crack myself up," he says.) Turk is the most conventional rapper of the four and he's not half-bad either.

Cash Money has only one producer, Manny Fresh. True to his name, Manny's tracks are fresh - unsampled and uninterpolated that is. They don't call these guys Cash Money for nothing. Forget clearing samples, these guys are collecting 100% of their publishing. Manny's tracks won't change the course of rap production, but they won't bore you either. He likes to place snare drum rolls in unexpected places and he punctuates every song with keyboard stabs that all sound the same except that they're not.

Juvenile and the Cash Money Millionaires are about one thing - entertainment. They're not trying to stimulate, provoke or educate. They're not trying to uplift the race or free the mind. They're just trying to entertain you enough that you'll buy their next record and tell all your friends to buy this one.

Viva La CMR.......2000-07-19

The best cd's I own are CMR and this probably tops them all. I don't care if it is the edited version you still your share of tight raps. This is the cd to buy.

Why did I buy this CD as an edited version?.......2000-03-06

Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best CDs I have ever heard. All Cash Money albums are. My Mom made me get the edited version and guess what? IT SUCKS! It totally destroys the entire CD. Songs like Back That Azz Up are nothing but scratch noises. My friends have this CD and I know it is a great album. The best tracks are 2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,13,16,17,and 18.

WACK !.......2000-03-03

C'mon, what's this? Give up rapping and CMR will never get No Limit's crown! No Limit will be da #1 Rap-Label 4ever! And so 4 y'all who want real rap, buy DA 504 BOYZ when it comes out! (May 2nd?)

400 Degreez rocks!.......2000-02-24
