Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Thoughts of a Predicate Felon is the debut album from G-Unit member Tony Yayo. Recorded after a stint in a New York prison for gun possession, the album sticks to the 'club' sound of fellow G-Unit members 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks' solo albums, with tales of street living delivered over a backdrop of grimey beats and minimal hip hop production.

Yayo Should Have Stayed In Jail.......2007-07-05

Tony Yayo is the 2nd reason why I despise the G-Unit movement. 50 Cent may be terrible because of his sloppy rhymes, his humongous ego, and his decision to make a feud with The Game, but hearing about Tony Yayo makes him tied up as the worst G-Unot member.

Yayo was sent to jail for gun charges, and incarcerated again for skipping out of parole. He should have stayed in jail. But no, he is set free and he cuts a song called "So Seductive", a song consisting of pop beats, weak flow, idiotic lyrics, and mindless yelling. Just take a listen to this one song and you'll get an idea on how terrible Yayo is.

Also, the album flopped and was considered one of the worst of 2005. No explanation needed here. Unless you like hip-pop, stay away from this abortion.

Trash garbage wack.......2007-05-28

Tony yayo's "thoughts of a predicate felon" is pure trash & should be recicle for cents.I cant even belive people nowdays listing to garbage like g unit , t.i., mims, bowwow,young jezzy,dipset with juelz santana rhyming about nonsense, lil john and have the nerve to call it hip hop or even rap cause its not that, at all.Why would anybody buy Tony yayo's cd ? Idk? I still wonder.Want real hip hop ? Listing to krs one, kool g rap, rakim, oc, lord finesse, planet asia, organized confussion, gangstarr etc...Leave this clubby bubble gum rap alone its pure wackness.

REAL NICE PRODUCTION.......2007-03-31

This debut release from Mr. Bernard really lived up to my expectations--production wise, that is. While seemingly stronger than "The Massacre", it doesn't seem to surpass his comrades' albums, "Straight Outta Ca$hville" and "The Hunger for More". Now that I think of it, it's all around as good as Buck's and Banks's releases but still ain't no "Get Rich or Die Trying".

While most of his rhymes seem under average and his lyrical skill is kind of crappy and stupid at times, his producers beats is what keeps people listening...(if you enjoy Kokane and Mobb Deep, you know what I mean). His straight New Yorkan beats is what attracts me...and his willingness to tackle stuff even if his rhymes aren't up to par...rather than just (rather than just saying "f**k it").

His album did sell pretty much...because of the buzz and the whole "he got sprung fresh outta jail" thing that's been circulating (including the whole "Free Yayo" campagin). .

Cameos include 50 Cent, Eminem, Joe, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Obie Trice, Olivia, and more...

Top Songs:
1.) Drama Setter feat. Eminem and Obie Trice
2.) So High
3.) Curious feat. Joe
4.) We Don't Give a F**k feat. 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Olivia

A G-Unit Breakdown.......2007-03-07

If you're looking for good Aftermath-produced or G-Unit affiliated music, here's which artists to go to and which to stay far, far away from:

50 Cent-- Go nowhere near The Massacre. You're 5% more likely to suffer a slow, painful death just by touching the case. It is the worst CD you could possibly ever hear. Same thing goes with the movie soundtrack.

Get Rich or Die Tryin (the original) on the other hand, is solid... especially on those bonus tracks (Heaven, Life on the Line, U Not Like Me), Patiently Waiting, 21 Questions, and anything featuring another G-Unit member. PIMP, with its lack of Snoop Dogg (which the music video seemed to promise), High All the Time, Many Men, and Wanksta can kind of get old though.

The thing about 50 Cent these days is that by himself he is no longer any good at all. He needs to be held up by a crutch of some better rapper before he can make good with his own rap. The reason he succeeds so well in his collaborations with The Game in The Documentary and Eminem in The Re-Up is because he has actually GOOD rappers holding him up. He's like the Abbott of the comedians Abbott & Costello now. He has nothing worth contributing without his Costello of some kind to be there for him.

The Game-- As soon as I heard this guy's album and compared it to 50's Massacre, I knew that if G-Unit was going anywhere, this guy would be the one to take it there. And now it turns out he left. Can't blame him when the clique-label's leader is so dumb. Was the most progressive rapper of the crew, and his reason for leaving is probably because of how anti-progressive 50's Massacre was. Has the best, deepest subject matter within his songs, if not the best flow (Although his underground 300 Bars song would automatically crown him king if he did that well all the time on his main albums). As far as the mainstream and not underground CDs go though, I'd give him a 2nd best for flow of the G-Unit crew.

His Documentary album has been called the third Chronic, and has the best of Dre's beats you'll find on any G-Unit CD. Criticisms are that he name-drops Dre & NWA a bit too much, but overall, I think it's not that big of a deal. He's a big hip-hop history fan, and he's still a little starstruck over the chance of being able to work with Dre. Given a very brief profile of the rapper, he fits into an uncomfartable stereotype, (average-looking rapper from Compton who's been shot a few times), but he immediately carves a personality of his own in the Doctor's Advocate and his even better The Documentary.

Young Buck-- I'd say probably the best G-Unit member still in G-Unit. This guy has the best flow, as far as mainstream CDs are concerned. He also seems to be the 2nd-most concerned about the world (a.k.a. 'progressive'), with references to the Illuminati amongst other secret organizations. I like this guy the best of the remaining G-Unit. 2nd best comes sort of close to him, but still doesn't match Buck's raw skills.

Lloyd Banks-- This guy is second best. His flow skills somewhat tie for 2nd place with The Game's, or at least land in that area. He, Buck, and The Game are my top three for G-Unit (even though The Game's not G-Unit anymore). Anybody else you can probably pass up. I'll go over them real quick just to make sure you know who the others are beforehand.

Tony Yayo-- The one male member who is worse than 50 Cent. In the G-Unit CD, they always shouted 'Free Yayo!' and now he is free. The G-Unit had done a terrible thing by campaigning for his release. His is of no benefit whatsoever to them. He might even be responsible for the gradual dumbening of 50's style & outlook on life.

Joe-- The kind of R&B star you'd expect to sing chorus or backup on an Outkast track, mixed with a bit of R. Kelley and a very small splash of Stevie W. He's not bad I guess. I hated him completely on 'Wanna Get to Know You' of the G-Unit CD, but would definitely still listen to his 'Ride Wit U' track off his own solo album.

Olivia-- Pssh, are you dumb? No. She's partially responsible for Candy Shop. That should be reason enough to hate her full-on and never turn back. She kind of can't sing either. Bad move to make an R&B CD without being able to sing, I think.

Lil' Scrappy-- This is the same Lil' Scrappy you heard on Lil' Jon's "What U Gon Do?" track. He's pretty good. Decent at least. Definitely not as decent as 50 Cent's original Get Rich or Die Tryin, but decent. He's got a good enough style though that places him above everyone else still in G-Unit, excluding Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, but including 50 Cent by himself.

I think that's everybody. So... now you know all about G-Unit, and who's good and who's not. If you HAVE to buy G-Unit, now you know who to avoid and who to embrace. If you plan on buying the original Get Rich or Die Tryin, I suggest you don't. Burn it, or have a friend burn it for you. 50 doesn't need the money right now or ever again. If you decide not to buy G-Unit, then more power to you. The Game is actually now sort of the anti-G-Unit since he left, because, you know, the majority of their members still suck.

I'd suggest Mos Def's Black on Both Sides instead of any of this stuff though... even if you were planning on buying G-Unit. That's probably the best hip-hop album I've ever heard, or will hear.

3 good songs (and a lot of bad ones).......2007-02-26

I like "So Seductive" "I Know You Don't Love Me" and "Drama Setter" The rest of the album is awful. I have been a G-unit fan since GRODT, but the music they've been putting out since the Massacre has been really lame. It's bad enough when 50 sings on his tracks, but now 50 has Yayo singing too? Yes, Yayo basically sings on several tracks on this album. And you'd have to hear it for yourself to really believe how bad it is. I'm actually kind of mad at 50 because now that he's producing all the g-unit albums and running the g-unit "label" the music has really been disappointing and a real diservice to any fan of g-unit. Slowly but surely people will get tired of paying for crappy music and g-unit albums will be completely ignored. 50 needs to give musical control back to Dre and Em. 50 cannot produce or run a label; he's doing an awful job.

Question: When did Yayo bust a decent verse? Answer: on G-unit's diss record/love jam I Smell P****. This album being garbage should be of no surpise to anybody. Songs like Homicide, G-s***, Eastside Westside, We Dont Give A F***, So Seductive and Pimpin have dope production but Yayo sucks so these songs suck right along with Yayo. Other tracks that stink: Drama Setter(Obie verse was alright but the track is still suspect), Curious(commecial garbage that would make Jarule blush), Project Princess(more sappy love jams from Tony Playdoh), Love My Style(nobody does!) Its Is What It Is and the rest of this album. Bottom Line: Tony Yayho's Thoughts Of A Predicate Felon is the worst album of 2005 without question. Lame beats and weak rhymes from Tony and friends plus what is up with all that screaming he does? What is he trying to be? A New York Version of Lil Jon? Use this cd for what its good for. A projectile weapon against rabid rottweilers! /you aint the talk of New York/ your sixteens is boring/(Game on 300 Bars).

Terrible.......2005-12-20

I bought this album, not because im a G-unit fan or nothing, but i just wanted to see what it was all about. This guy can't rap. He is as bad a 50 Cent, and that means really bad. There isn't a single song on that album that i can listen to more than once, infact some are so crap that i have to turn it off in the middle. I have never heard anything so bad. Up to know i belive that Tony Yayo should have kept his thoughts to himself.

...Just STOP. G-G-G-GUnot (U not a G).......2005-12-15

I listened to my friend Moe's copy of this and I felt like I wasted 5 minutes of my life. Tony, along with everyone else (Young Buck is the only exception) is just str8 up GARBAGE. 50 cent helps a lot when u need beautiful hooks, thats the only props he'll get from me. other than that, he has very weak lyrics, he jus not specific. U want the realest ish, GO CoP THAT CHAMILLIONAIRE, THAT BE SOME LYRICS THER. Im out this bizzotch. holla back

"Predicate Felon" Review.......2005-11-28

The final of the original G-Unit to put out his solo album, the long-incarcerated Tony Yayo looks to follow suit in the success of his fellow G-Unit brothers, Young Buck and Lloyd Banks as well as the commander-in-chief, 50 Cent. What better way to do so than by following the same formula to a tee, right? This may perhaps be the biggest problem with "Predicate Felon". Aside from a few tracks written while behind bars, the content on Yayo's solo LP seems almost exactly identical to prior G-Unit releases. It's the usual format. You've got your party track ("So Seductive"), your songs for the ladies ("Curious", "Project Princess"), your song about smoking weed ("I'm So High"), and your pimp song ("Pimpin"). Mix in it with a few "street tracks" and some G-Unit collabo tracks and you've got the formula. While "Predicate Felon" has a few worthwhile tracks, Yayo, for the most part, doesn't seem like he can hold down a solo album on his own.

YAYO IS THE WEAKEST LINK....GOODBYE.......2005-11-16

He is not worth a whole cd yet. Maybe a verse, a hook or a "Here we go now!!!" But please not a whole cd. It was torture.
