United State of Atlanta [Chopped & Screwed] [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Few crews in hip hop have as much fun as D Roc and Kaine of the Ying Yang Twins. It's no wonder their gold grills are glittering a lot these days. Ying Yang's TVT Records debut album, Me & My Brother, is now platinum history and any flash in the pan talk by haters has been replaced by respect for their hit making abilities on such monster tracks as "Salt Shaker", their collabo with Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz on "Get Low" and their latest club anthem "Wait (The Whisper Song)." But the story doesn't end there either. Even as "Badd" feat. Mike Jones is blowin' up the air waves, boomin' from car windows on the avenue and dominatin' video show countdowns, the Twins have added a new twist. They've called on the remix skills of Michael "5000" Watts of Swisha House fame and now their chart topping 2005 release "United State Of Atlanta" is available in a "Chopped & Screwed" version for y'all to enjoy.

On an album filled with a conventional spread of crunkadelic beats and yelled out choruses so popular in the dirty south, it's unexpected that the heart of the Ying Yang Twins new album would be the downtempo salaciousness at the center: "Wait," "Pull My Hair," and "Bedroom Boom." Guaranteed to either titillate or offend (or perhaps, both), the songs find the Ying Yang Twins pioneering a whole new sub-genre, what Mike Banner has (jokingly?) called "intimate club." If you prefer your Ying Yang fix outside the sheets though, they have some vigorously upbeat tracks like "Ghetto Classics" (which samples Art of Noise's 1980s new wave hit, "Beat Box") and the infectiously bilingual "Shake" feat. Miami's Pitbull. The album even gets serious with the somber "23 Hr. Lock Down" feat. UGK's Bun B who speaks on his partner's Pimp C's incarceration, as well as the single mama's anthem, "Live Again." -- Oliver Wang

Album Description

Atlanta's Ying Yang Twins follow up their platinum breakthrough TVT Records cd, "Me & My Brother" and its massive hit "Salt Shaker", with the album of their career, "United State Of Atlanta." Kaine and D-Roc's latest smash, "Wait (The Whisper Song)," dominated clubs, radio and TV music video countdowns throughout the spring of 2005. A second single, "Badd" featuring Mike Jones looks just as strong, even as fans can't get enough of the "Wait" remix featuring Lil Scrappy, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot and 106 & Park's Free. No longer just a Dirty South phenomenon, Ying Yang Twins have enlisted the help of guest stars Anthony Hamilton, Pitbull, Maroon 5 (yes that Maroon 5), Bun B, BG, Avant, Jacki-O and r&b singer Teedra Moses to present their most diverse and surprising album yet. Once again, DJ Smurf handles a lot of the production duties, and Lil Jon oversaw a track for his homies as well.

2 out of 5 stars Seen this from a mile away........2006-11-09

The Ying Yang Twins have really been a plague on hip-hop; they opened the doors for the D4L's, Dem Franchize Boyz, and Jibbs' of the world. Sure, there were wack emcees long before the Ying Yang Twins ever came onto the scene, but the entire 'snap' genre basically derived from the Ying Yang Twins; D4L and DFB can argue all they want, but neither created this sub-genre of hip-hop. The Ying Yang Twins did, and that reason alone is enough to condemn them to bargain bin sales.

Now, granted, I'm not part of their targeted audience; I'm a head who's grown up with the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan, Big L, Mic Geronimo, and Jeru the Damaja. However, at the same time, I'm not a certified hater of most mainstream hip-hop; there's a couple dozen commercial acts I can appreciate. Unfortunatey for Kaine, D-Roc, and most of all, myself when listening to this album, the Ying Yang Twins aren't part of that group. But, even the biggerst of Twin haters has to admit this music was made for the clubs, and no where but the clubs; and it was directed strictly at the women who love to shake their *sses. Granted, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that this album is a glorified doorstop outside of clubs.

At times, the Ying Yang Twins do show - believe it or not - growth. Live Again and Long Time(both back to back tracks) show they have their hearts in the right place; they just can't get the rest of their mind, body, nor soul there. Those tracks are two shining moments on the album, if only for the guest appearances from Adam Levine(who sounds at home yet again on a hip-hop release, oddly enough) and the soulful crooner, Anthony Hamilton. They also show that, at the very least, they can think of innovative ways to say the same damn thing, as on "Wait(The Whisper Song)" - the approach they took can be respected, but the lyrics are borderline retarded, even for YYT standards; come on, "beat the ***** up" being whispered nonsensically ten to twelve times in a row? This takes misogony to another level.

"Badd" manages to succeed on Ying Yang standards thanks to a guest appearance from Mike Jones(who nearly sounds average when paired with the Ying Yang Twins; quite a step-up!), and "Shake" is also your typical YYT song, with a guest appearance from Pitbull. To be perfectly honest, this is about your typical Ying Yang Twins album; which isn't a good thing. It's probably the best of their five released albums, but as the rating would imply, that's not neccessarily a good bunch. The few moments of sincerity, and original ideas save this from one star territory, but I still wouldn't recommend this to anyone other than a female wanting to shake what her mama gave her.

3 out of 5 stars Do my ears deceive me?.......2006-10-30

Standout tracks: LIVE AGAIN, GHETTO CLASSICS, 23HR LOCKDOWN, WAIT(creative for a ying yang song), THE WALK, BADD, PUT THAT THANG DOWN, SHAKE, MY BROTHER'S KEEPER etc. Filler: Long time(too churchy), F**k the ying yang twins(worst anti-hater record ever made),Pull my hair(GROSS plus thats not even a beat!), Bedroom Boom(softest f**k song ever made), Hoes and U.S.A. Bottom line: I cant lie to you I was never a fan of the ying yang twins. I always equated them to be hip hop's Beavis and Butthead but D-roc and Kaine stop being Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber for a brief moment and put together an okay effort. Songs like Live Again, Ghetto Classics and 23hr Lockdown have little gems in them which is kind of surprise because they have been playing the role of Pinky and the Brain since they first came in the game. Congratulations Ying Yang you've finally made a decent album. Dont f**k it up!

1 out of 5 stars HAHA! A modern minstrel show indeed..........2006-08-14

Wow so in history class they told me because of its racist themes and such that minstrel shows are long gone but they obviously haven't heard THIS trash.

Sheesh, where do I even begin? You thought Fiddy was bad? How about Chingy? Lil Jon? Nope, they're not nearly as bad as these wastes of flesh. These guys are a disgrace to the black race, Aaron McGruder is totally right (creator of the Boondocks) if Martin Luther King Jr. did somehow get resurrected he would definitely scoff at the state of Black America, perhaps it was a tad exaggerated but it still made an excellent point. Afterall it was Chris rock that said, "There are black people and there's n***ers!" Then everyone in the audience laughed their *sses off because it's true. Unfortunately these guys fall in the latter group.

Don't give me that rubbish on how it's just the music, no way folks, this goes far beyond the music itself. This is a reflection of the sad state our society is in. Ok people you want to talk about the actual MUSIC? We shall then, but these cliched annoying 'beats' lack so much substance that I'm just wasting text space talking about the 'music'. The lyrics? They bring new meaning to the word STUPID.

So there you have it, this logic pretty much applies to all their cds and anyone else like them (the aforementioned rap degenerates) they really take the cake for Retards of the Decade when we talk about "I Love the '00s" in 10 years. By the way check out the Boondocks, it's a great comic-turned-cartoon, it's very fresh and unique.

Ok, booty rap was good in the 90's, when it was offensive and raunchy like, 2 live crew, Disco Rick and The Dogs, Poison clan etc.....But this is just wack weak lyrics, corny typical krunk beats that start all sounding the same....And is it just me are these guys as rappers, just horrible there voices all raspy, and annoying and one the guy's from the groups always does that annoying shout thing in interviews like hahhhhherrrrrr.....( what is he on crack or something)So if you like radio friendly, pretty boy music then the Ying Yang twins are for you peace....

    3 out of 5 stars An extra star for the chopped and screwed treatment. .......2006-11-09

    It's amazing; no matter how terrible a Southern hip-hop album maybe, it sounds immediately better once gone over with the chopped and screwed treatment. I wrote a review for the original version of this album, and while that album was below the line of mediocrity, it is able to just reach it with this remix. Chopped & Screwed isn't for everyone however, so I wouldn't suggest coming into this release unless you're familiar with the style.

    Chopped & Screwed music has been widely recognized as the hip-hop equivalent of psychadelic rock; the lyrics are rarely comprehensible out of a drug-induced haze, and play second fiddle to the focal-star of the music; the slow, and grinding grooves. Like psychadelic, the assistance of drugs are recommended to fully enjoy the experience, however, even if you're completely sober, it can still give you a musical high.

    Michael Watts chopped this album up, and he is only second to the legendary DJ Screw when it comes to this art. He only chops a handful of albums outside his Swishahouse label, with a seemingly strict view of what albums are waiting to be screwed. The Ying Yang Twins' U.S.A. was just asking for the treatment, and I can whole-heartedly say I enjoy this chopped and screwed variation much more than the original.

    If you want my opinion on the actual U.S.A. album, check out my review on the regular issue; for this review, I'm simply grading this on the chopped and screwed music in front of me. Most of these tracks have new life thanks to Michael Watts, and ALL of these tracks share more life than the original had; their hypnotic qualities also assist in making a better product. Wait(The Whisper Song), which was originally intended to be a club-banger, sounds like it'd fit on the score of a horror movie in this context. 23 Hour Lock Down sounds like a certified H-Town classic in this format as well, and the guest appearance by Bun B definitely helps. Long Time is positively creepy, and melancholic on this release, and could very well send a shiver down the bravest man's spine. Shake also goes from club-banger to a track that'll get everyone throwing 'bows, which is definitely one of the stranger, and more effective, transformations on this release.

    Even given the positives that chopping and screwing it provided, it still doesn't push it above the line of average. It's got some dope screw tracks, but there're definitely better screw-tapes out there; if you were a fan of the original, and a fan of the innovative H-Town remixing style, this album will be right up your alley. If you're a fan of one or the other, you may also like this. If you hate both the Twins and C&S music, obviously avoid this, as well as the original.

    5 out of 5 stars Tight.......2006-03-06

    dawg dis album is aight but some songs don't sound good chopped and screwed.but its tight dawg

    1 out of 5 stars They got the screwed part right.......2005-08-30

    The original CD is awesome, but this "Chopped and Screwed" version is total crap. All they did is ruin the excellent CD by the Ying Yang Twins. By "Chopped and Screwed", they mean lyrics slowed down. DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION!!! BUY THE ORIGINAL!! I WILL NEVER GET "CHOPPED" OR "SCREWED" BY THESE GUYS AGAIN!
