Dirty Money [CD-single] [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
UGK were wildly popular down South and on the West Coast, but little more than a blip on the screen to East Coast heads until Jay-Z invited Pimp C and Bun B to beat him at his own flow on 1999's "Big Pimpin'." Just because a certain demographic has slept doesn't mean that UGK ain't 'bout it--the Kingz have been laying down their own particular brand of G-crunk for almost 10 years now. Akin to fellow Texans the Geto Boys, UGK's sound is more spare and noirish than your average Southern Bounce crew. Featuring the laid-back flow and gangsta lean production fans have come to expect, Dirty Money is their best release to date. Contentwise, it's the same old "money, macks, and mamis," but UGK do it better than most. "Holdin Na," featuring C-Note, utilizes an unexpected Beastie Boys sample, "Ain't That a Bitch," with rapper Devin (The Dude), and Big Gip's incendiary vocals help make "Don't Say S--t" the album's standout track. --Rebecca Levine

Who would have thought back in the Hot Boys' early days that it'd be Lil Wayne who not simply survived his older peers like Juvenile, but ended up thriving by the time he reached Tha Carter, vol. 2, Weezy's fourth album. He sounds more confident as an MC--but more importantly, he wields a genuinely impressive array of different styles (as opposed to countless one-note rappers), from the chattering, thuggish "Fireman" and the languid style of "Oh No" to the emotional, introspective "Feel Me." In some ways, he actually bears a resemblance to rap's other major "Carter" (Jay-Z), not just in his increasingly effortless flow but in his assertiveness as a leader. In other words, he's matured in all the right ways as an artist. His album is still longer than it needs to be--22 tracks, 77 minutes--but even the filler is listenable while the best songs, like "Receipt," "Shooter," and "Hustler Musik" help establish this as one of 2005's last great albums. --Oliver Wang

LIL WAYNE IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-15

I HONESTLY DIDNT LIKE LIL WAYNE BEFORE THIS ALBUM, BUT THIS ALBUM HE PROVES THAT HE CAN SPIT. HIS LYRICS HAVE DEFINITELY IMPROVED A WHOLE BUNCH SINCE HIS EARLIER YEARS WITH CA$H MONEY. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ALBUM MAKES IT A HOTT ALBUM. THE BEATS, FLOWS, CONCEPTS, AND LYRICS. NOW LIL WAYNE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MC'S NOT JUST CUZ OF THIS ALBUM, BUT ALSO CUZ OF HIS LATEST MIXTAPES.

Weezy finally comes correct.......2007-03-02

Although he was only 23 when this was released, Lil wayne has been puttin out album for 8 or 9 years, so his isn't a rookie. I honestly can say I've enver been impressed by what he has put out other than a song here and there, but after a bunch of good reviews and people tellin' me I had to check this out, I finally gave in, and I am very surprised. Claimin to be the best rapper alive (far from it but this album puts him heading in the right direction). I don't have many Cash Money albums (about 4), but this is a very ice album. With 19 songs, more than half are definitely worth checking out (#'s 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 22). Guests are minimal on 3 or 4 songs, and the production is good (that has been a constant with Cash Money releases thanx mostly to Manny Fresh). A must have album and one that shouldn't be slept on.

AAAAAAHHHH!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!.......2007-02-16

NOTE: I am 16, I just don't want my own username.

Ladies and gentleman, what is the big deal about these untalented posers? It's like the record companies aren't even trying to hire talent - they just hire whoever so that more innocent folks will go to that same record company and get a record deal.

But it's not just that - EVERY black kid at my school (NOTE: I am not racist) praises this guy, and that's why I singled him out. It's not just him, people also go gaa-gaa over other untalented drivel like Bow Wow, Chris Brown (the most overrated "musician" of the 20th century), and T.I. Whenever a black person at my school doesn't listen to what's popular, they are listening to - you guessed it - this guy.

Honestly, what is so great about him. In order to be considered a good rapper, IMO, you must have good, intelligent lyrics and an excellent flow (Some examples are Chuck D and Del tha Funkee Homosapien). Wayne here has neither. I know what you're thinking: "But he freestyles!" Well, you want to know how "good" of a freestyler he is? Take this verse from "Fireman":

"Come on mama let the Carter make ya, toss you like a fruit salad, strawberry grape ya".

What kind of verse is that?! I could come up with something better in my sleep. In fact, check this out:

I walk through the valley of the ashes
the area where death and car crashes
Run abundant, I'm so pungent
All the girls like me, but despite the
Pain that I suffer, I got my luster
So I can shine and be divine
In a world of pain, a world of sorrow
There can be no tomorrow.

I came up with that in just 5 minutes. See how easy it is to rap? Now I'm gonna go take this rap and get my OWN record deal. Later... MUCH!!!!

The milestone of lil wayne's career.......2007-07-14

When lil wayne first came out with the block is hot, most of the south was feeling him including me. Lil wayne been in the game for a while now. He just gotten better with time and is now one of the best rapper's in the south. Ain't taking nothing away from TI though. He was serious with this cd, even though the entire CD is freestyled. He still came hard with the punchlines and the metaphors. Some tight cuts on this cd include the intro; which is probably one of the hardest intro's ive heard anyone spit, go dj; good single, this is the carter, bm jr; the hardest song on this cd, i miss my dawgs; a song telling us how he feel about the former hot boys, only way, bring it back, ain't that a __, earthquake; which uses a good sample, and cash money millionaires. If you want some straight louisiana music, then cop this cd. Lilweezyana, that's the new planet. Peace!!!!!!

NEW ORLEANS!!!.......2007-03-15

Lil Wayne's lyrical skills are not what I thought they would be. Being from the south, particularly New Orleans, Louisiana, I thought he wouldn't be any better than Birdman or Soulja Slim...but he is! In fact, he's better.

This album has few flaws, and is definitely worth purchasing. There are 3 hit singles off the album including "Go D.J.", produced by Mannie Fresh. In fact, basically the whole album is produced by Mannie Fresh but on the cover it says it's executively produced by Birdman and his brother, I think (they both have the same last name).

But anyway, Lil Wayne is definitely not what I expected...his lyrical skills parallel those of Ludacris! He is definitely not the best rapper alive, but sure is the best in New Orleans. That I think.

His best album next to Lights Out.......2006-11-01

Standout tracks:THIS IS THE CARTER, B.M.JR(the hardest song on here), I MISS MY DAWGS(dope even though you and I know that he is full of s***), ON MY OWN, BRING IT BACK, WHO WANNA, SNITCH, EARTHQUAKE, AINT THAT A B***H, WE DONT etc. Filler: Go dj(crappy beat sleep inducing lyrics), Cash money millionaires, Get down(SNORE!), Hoes(Screams filler) and Only way. Bottom Line: Lil wayne's fourth album stands out as his best album next to his second solid work Light Out. What makes this album better than The carter2 is that the production is (for most of the songs) is not bad and he doesnt sound like an up north emcee clone. He is just being himself on this one.

LiL Wayne has been my baby since the Hot Boys!.......2006-10-18

This cd is hot I have always been down with lil wayne and because of me my boyfriend is all on his D**K and took over my cd's. The intro and the outro are outstanding I don't think I ever heard lil wayne like this but I'm liking this a little more than my boyfriend lil wayne if I ever meet you in person it's on and poppin. But I know that will never happen! On the real cop this one it's not a disappointment but don't forget the carter.

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter.......2006-09-10

After releasing his last album, "Lights Out" in 2002, Lil Wayne took a year off the solo scene by releasing another Hot Boys album, "Let Em Burn." Even though most of the album was recorded in the past years, that album sadly will probably be the last the group will ever release. Anyway Lil Wayne comes back on the scene in 2004 with his 4th solo album, "Tha Carter."

Lil Wayne FIRES back so hard with this album. After his 3 previous records, this one is definitely the best so far! I don't know what he changed in his style but he definitely evolved into an amazing talent with this release. DEFINITELY check this out, it's an incredible album!

Amazon.com

Director Sam Mendes's much-anticipated follow-up to his Academy Award ^®-winning American Beauty found him exploring the period gangster film--but with a moral fiber and undercurrent of family tragedy familiar from his Oscar ^® triumph. As he did with Beauty, Mendes again wisely entrusts the film's music to Tom Newman, a composer with an instinctive knack for getting inside a film's characters via innovative and often orthodox methods. As many of Newman's preceding scores have been rhythmically driven and rife with improvisation-driven experimentalism, its good to hear his equally distinctive writing for orchestra largely take center stage here again. But Newman's inquisitive musical instincts can't be denied, and his melancholy string writing is leavened first with subtle uilleann pipe flourishes that echo the characters' Irish-American roots, then with savory, yet ever-restrained touches of his own ethnic-defying instrumental color and rhythmic accents. It's another moody and introspective gem, seasoned with some lively period jazz (courtesy of the Charleston Chasers, Fletcher Henderson and his Orchestra, and Chicago Rhythm Kings) and a warm, final surprise: a duet of John M. Williams's autumnal title track performed by none other than stars Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. --Jerry McCulley

Fathers & Sons.......2007-05-13

After losing my Father back in October, I began reaching for things that reminded me of him. One of the things I reached for was the score for the Road to Perdition. Although my Father was gravely ill the day I took him to see the film, it ended up being a day not soon forgotten. I am listening to the soundtrack as I write this review. Fathers and Sons.

Hauntingly Wonderful.......2006-12-18

This soundtrack is amazing. Like Shawshank Redemption, Newman's music colors the film, reveals character, and highlights themes. I've listened to this soundtrack dozens of times, and I still love it. From the mournful "Piano Duet" to the driving "Lexington Hotel", this is a great purchase regardless of whether or not you liked the movie.

Tells The Story.......2006-04-12

Wonderful soundtrack. If you've seen the movie, you can listen to these tracks and almost guess what or who they are written for in the script. I think Thomas Newman is the drummer of their composer family, because almost all of his music has the underlying ryhthms that make you tap to the beat (even though this is classically orchestrated music), with music that perfectly breathes the air of the times it was written for.

Road to Excellence!.......2006-03-14

I own both the movie and the score, and I have to tell you, this film would not be half of what it is without this gorgeous, mellow, and sometimes violent and aggressive score. It really carries the film, and I think it even surpasses it some. Newman really outdid himself this time!

MY MOM !!.......2006-02-27

I COME LATE TO THIS MUSIC!! I SAW THE MOVIE ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO!! I LOVED THE MUSIC, BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF MY MOTHER!! SHE SAID SHE LIVED AT THIS TIME IN THE 1930'S. THE MUSIC IS HAUNTING LIKE SHE TALKED ABOUT HER CHILDHOOD. THE LOVE, VIOLENCE, AND HUMANITY,WHICH YOU FEEL IN THE MUSIC!! CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUST LISTEN AND IMAGINE!!!

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

Customer Reviews:

Juve is one of my fave rappers. He has a unique voice; Southern and a bit deep. Back that a** up, Follow me now, and Ha are classic rap songs! His lyrics can become a bit violent, but I still like this album. This is the album that really launched him so get it!

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.

Diz guy is super wack man... Idk why people like his music ? Its pure trash. Get money , stay true is a disgrace that shoulda neva been released. Dont waste your mone on this wackness.

Wall To Wall!.......2007-06-26

When you think of respected white rappers, you immediately think of Eminem and Paul Wall. Although not as flamboyant a rapper as Slim Shady, Paul Wall has made a name for himself without huge airplay or ridiculously high promotional budgets. He's still reppin' for the Dirty South and for Swishahouse with his latest album Get Money, Stay True. The album pretty much crept out with little attention from the industry or the Hip-Hop community as a whole, leaving Paul Wall to resort to word of mouth publicity only. And based on the selections on this album, the conversations should be favorable. The lead-off single "I'm Throwed" features Jermaine Dupri behind the boards as well as the hook man and comes off average at best for Paul Wall. Snoop Dogg pops up for "Everybody Know Me" while Freeway rises from the proverbial grave with the standout album track "On The Grind." Lil Keke pairs up with Paul for the Dirty South anthem of 2007 with "Break Em Off." Swishahouse labelmate Yung Redd holds his own on songs like "Get Your Paper" and "Call Me What U Want." Other well-chosen guest appearances include the raunchy female rapper Trina on "That Fire", R&B crooner Jon B on "Tonight", and Juelz Santana with a supremely good verse for "I'm Real, What Are You." With only a few missteps like the closing tracks "I Ain't Hard To Find" and "Slidin' On That Oil" featuring Expensive Taste, Get Money, Stay True is a suitable follow-up for Paul Wall. Now we can only hope that he'll get some money from the sale of this album so he can stay true in the future and not have to conform to the pressures of the industry to make a buck.

Hey the CD was evething I expected and the service exceeds expectations!!,Thanx very much!!

Great Sophomore Album By " The Peoples Champ"........2007-04-28

You know you've arrived when Jermaine Dupri is featured on your first single. Say what you will about local-boy-done-good, Paul Wall, but you can't deny his appeal and influence in the fickle rap industry. He's the man that is credited for grillin' the world up. For a while there was no where you could go where you wouldn't see an elaborately jeweled mouthpiece and hear its owner boast proudly, "I got my grill from Paul Wall!"

His hustle is well documented and respected. His music matches his grind. After his first major label release, "The Peoples' Champ" outsold his H-town contemporaries, (not to mention it was a far better album than "Who is Mike Jones") Paul went back into the studio, and he, along with the rest of his SwishaHouse camp including Lil Keke, whose upcoming album will more than likely place him atop the H-town rap scene) have been beatin blocks up with their mixtapes.

The streets have been salivating for some new "Pow Wow", and the white boy delivered a dope offering. "Get Money..." opens with the 15 rattling thump of "Get Ya Paper" ft Yung Redd. After he reinroduces you to the grind, he starts to show off. 7 of the album's 14 tracks have major features, including the Snoop Dogg-assisted, "Everybody Know Me", "That Fire" ft Trina, and " And "Bangin Screw" a tribute to DJ Screw which is the man who invented Chopped And Screwed. There're even a couple of tracks that Paul's new wife, Crys Wall (yeah, that's her name!) is singing on. She is an R&B artist signed to SwishaHouse Records as well.

Big things coming outta H-town in 2007. And seems like Paul Wall is leading the charge. Get Money, Stay True, I give it 4 Mics for this one.

Paul, We've Been On This Train Ride Before............2007-04-24

Paul Wall is obviously noted from being one of many solo, Houston, Texas rappers that hit mainstream back in 2005, alongside Mike Jones, Slim Thug, and Chamillionaire. Somehow he slid through the charts with his hit single "Sittin' Sidewayz", or the working for-the-ladies track "Girl", which very slickly sampled "Oh Girl" by R&B group The Chi-Lites. And both of those single helped him achieve a #1 album that sold well over 800,000 copies to date. Though, much like the aforementioned acts, Paul Wall had an issue bringing out solid, full-length albums when The People's Champ received mixed reviews from critics and Amazon reviewers, mostly hating on the boring, hood-cliché lyrics. And with Get Money, Stay True, it's the same story. Both uneven production and p!ss-poor lyrics aside, Paul Wall ain't a terrible rapper when it comes to his flow. He has a laid-back, half-singing and half-rapping flow that makes whatever he does at least slightly enjoyable, if nothing more. But taking the entire album in was the pain.

The beats on Get Money, Stay True are provided by himself, Mr. Lee (R. Kelly), Russel "Addict" Howard, Drumma Boy, KLC (C-Murder, Ludacris, Mystikal, Snoop Dogg), and Travis Barker. (What is HE doing here?) Production highlights are the Ludacris-sounding "Break `Em Off", Jermaine Dupri's "I'm Throwed", and the summery, old school feel of "On the Grind". But otherwise, most of the beats are fairly average, and the album suffers from uneven production, so even if a true-hearted fan were to purchase Get Money, Stay True, they'd probably be dissappointed too. There's a few beats that sound a bit like they were used twice, for example, "How Gangstas Roll" is alright, but sounds too much like "Girl" from The People's Champ. And although "Get Your Paper Up" and "Everybody Know Me" are decent, they sound exactly the same. There are also failing seducing tracks, like "Tonight" and "That Fire". Terrible production comes from "Call Me What You Want", which is just plain odd, and "I'm Real, What Are You?" and "I Ain't Hard to Find" are corny and come off rather unoffensive; "Slidin' On That Oil" being the wackest beat ever made.

But, the easy to find problem with Paul Wall's Get Money, Stay True are the almost intolerable lyrics he throws out on us. Any true Southern-rap fan can truly enjoy raps about being on "tha grind", but sometimes Paul Wall gets annoying with his odd comparisions and repetitiveness at times. And it seems he has little talent behind his money-cash-h*es talk, because he fails to talk about anything else. Ludacris and recently Rich Boy also cover similar topics, but they have actually show they have talent with some heartfelt tracks. If money, cars, ho*s, hustling, and drugs are the only and ONLY topics you cover, that is when you become untalented. "Bangin' Screw" and the terrible "How Gangstas Roll" are all about cars; both "Gimme That" and "Get Your Paper Up" are about making money; "Break `Em Off", "I Ain't Hard to Find", "I'm Real, What Are You?", and "On the Grind" all use boring hood themes like getting high or being gangsta; and both "Tonight" and "That Fire" are failing for-the-ladies songs, the latter being a lame story about a one night stand. As a matter of fact, it's difficult to find even one song that isn't about cars, getting high, girls, or full of annoying hood-cliches that have been tired out by 50 Cent already. To top it off, the album has some of the most laughable similes and metaphors you will ever hear. Just to show the worst, "Break `Em Off" has "I'm hotter than warm piss, berry grape Sunkist", "I'm Throwed" has "I'm fresher than a fruit bowl/Leaning like a gas gage", and other head-scratching comparisons show up throughout most, if not all of the album. The guest stars are okay, but most of them don't bring too much extra heat to this iceberg. A few hood-bars from Snoop Dogg are in "Everybody Know Me", but the rest of the guest stars don't help or hurt the album, like Trina's unneeded lines in the failed ladies-anthem "That Fire", Juelz Santana's monotonous feel in "I'm Real, What Are You?", and like most Southern rap albums, there's a ton of rappers you probably have never heard of. (E Class, Freeway, Expensive Taste, Drumma Boy, etc.) Also, Paul Wall's wife Crys Wall adds unnecessary damage to a couple of tracks on the album. There's really no business for your wife/husband or girlfriend/boyfriend to be on your album if they aren't an established artist, because most of the time, it never works. (Please see Dre on Christina Milian - So Amazin')

Get Money, Stay True shows Paul Wall can still bring some heat with his flow and occasionally decent production, but the album is overall bland, very uneven, and filled with sometimes laughable lyrics like a train wreck. Paul Wall has some hit singles on the album, as "I'm Throwed" and "On the Grind" surely sound like hits, but much like The People's Champ, unless you think you can tolerate an entire Paul Wall album, you'd best stay away. 2 stars.

Birdman & Birdman Jr........2007-07-20

Like Father, Like SOn is the best collaberation hip hop album of 2006, I'm only sayin that cuz it is the only hip hop collaberation albu of 2006. I agree that 70% of South muzik is starting to exploit Hip Hop these dayz. You have South Rappers like Jibbs, Mike JOnes, Bow Wow, Yung Joc, Young Jeezy, the list can go on. But then again you still have good rap influences from the south like UGK, OutKast, Ludacris, Scarface and more. This Album however is not exactly a bad one but is definetley not the best. Lil Wayne is one of the catchiest rappers out there, he has cool wordplay and catchy lines like for example-
"I got a lot of loot and I ain't lookin' for a lady
And you can never pay me I'm from Uptown baby
I wake up in the mornin' take a piss and wash my hands
Take a knee and thank the Man then get back to the money"
I do kind of think that Lil Wayne is one of the better rappers out there but difinetly not an EMCEE. Get that straight, a true emcee are at the likes of KRS-ONE, NAS, WU-Tang CLAN. But Still I got to admit that this album is pretty good.

The downfall of this album is the agonizing repetetiveness throughout the album, ever f***in track is basically the same with just a different beat. Its always about money with these people, it really makes you wanna listen to something else most of the time. Birdman says the "N" word over 1000 times, its pretty sad that he and Lil Wayne can't expand there vocabulary. This is why I appreciate Chamillionaire for doin that No cussin album hes comin out with. But nontheless if your a fan of Cash Money then this is must buy, note that Minnie Fresh didn't do any production on this album. My Favorite Tracks are "Stuntin' Like My Daddy", "You Ain't Know", "Leather So Soft".

The best album ever made, period........2007-05-22

I'm speechless. I've always found Lil Wayne by far the best of the 235 people that put Lil in front of their name. He's the biggest of the Lil. Chew on that for a minute. I never realized that he was birdman's dad. By the title of the album being like father, like son, I can only assume Lil Wayne is birdman's dad. That is awesome. I knew Little Wayne was trill, but to make a kid when he was like 4 is just off the hook.

Where do you start with the music on this thing. There is some cussing, some beats and lyrics about money. Try finding that on another rap album out today. If you do, you'll waste a lot of time because other rappers are too busy talking about macro economics and 3rd world debt relief. Birdguy and Little Wayne talk about what is real and I like that. I went out Friday night and we were bumpin some Tiny Wayne on the sound system with our pet kangaroo, Tibblies, in the back seat. You roll strong when you roll with a roo. We spent the night drinking 64's of Hurrican Malt liquor, which is my favorite when I want to get my swerve on. I ended arguing with some woman about whether Nelson Mandela or Lil Wayne have had more impact on the world. Mandela is cool and all, but could he record a track like, "You ain't know"? I'll answer that for you, no he couldn't. He would probably try to use actual words and grammar and ruin it. Leave the block rockin to Birddude and Teenie Wayne.

great album.......2007-05-16

lil wayne is the greatest rapper alive and i dont give a crap what nobody saids so is juelzsantana jim jones snoop dogg ti birdman and other i forgot to mention they are great rapper and so is the blacxkeyedpeas bump shop boys and the g-unit crew is okay

What are all of you talking about! This Album sucks!.......2007-05-05

This album is Horrible. The Diry South is DESTROYING hip hop. Im glad I only "Bought" this cd. I hate the dirty south rap. All of the dirty south rappers are the same. They all rap about they're stupid Platinum teeth, beamers with the rims that are really big and look stupid (they think it looks gangsta) . There is no skill in any of that dirty south rap. They keep repeating themselves the whole time. I love hip hop/Rap but The Dirty South is Destroying it. I wish we could bring back the old stuff like-

HOuse OF Pain
Cypress Hill
Funkdoobiest
Lords of the underground
Wu tang
Tupac
Biggie
The Pharcyde
NWA
Public Enemy
and Alot More.

I "Bought" this album because i figured why not, its a free album. I tried to listen to it and like it but i couldnt. The beats SUck and the lyrics Suck. PERIOD. Dont buy. The best move would be to keep the dirty south rappers out of the Rap game. Period!

Man, why did I buy this album for?.......2007-01-23

I'm so sorry that I bought this album. Of course, the hit single "stuntin like my daddy" was jammin!! But, I thought I could get more into the rest of the album. I just could not do it. I will admit though. I do like Birdman's swagger. If Lil wayne could use more of his own rhymes instead of others, then he would be better. I got tired of hearing lil wayne's annoying delivery on a lot of the songs. I got Birdman's last album and I liked more songs on that one than this one. Save your money and buy something better, like that Trae's Restless album. Now, that's much better.

Solid release from Cash Money's prime (3.5/5).......2007-05-04

In 1999, Cash Money Records was releasing music at an incredible rate, and "Guerrilla Warfare" is one of a high volume of long LPs released by the Cash Money Millionaires during this period. While it's certainly not on the level of its contemporary classics like B.G.'s Chopper City in the Ghetto and Juvenile's 400 Degreez, it's a satisfying album showcasing New Orleans's premier hip hop collective. And this is certainly the album to get if you want to hear the Hot Boys as a group. At this point, Cash Money was at their commercial and creative peak, and they were just embracing their place at the top of hip hop while still years away from any consumer backlash. Rap purists can go on and on about how their unvaried subject matter makes them embarrassments to hip hop, but I'll always enjoy Hot Boys music. What they might lack in pure lyricism, B.G., Turk, Juvenile, and Lil Wayne make up in interesting flows, punchlines, style, and chemistry. There's so much talent in this quartet, they really are a supergroup in every sense of the word. Mannie Fresh's productions are usually the true gem of a Cash Money release, but that's not the case here. Mannie's signature bounce beats with soulful instrumentals and dense soundscapes usually steal the show, but the music is notably understated here, taking a backseat to the talented MCs rather than taking front and center like it might on, say, a Big Tymers release. Each rapper is such a likable individual, and each has so much charisma and talent that it more than carries the album. That said, the album is definitely too long, with a bloated tracklist of 17 tracks running in at just under the CD limit of 80 minutes, and too many songs break the five minute barrier. The production can be a little boring at times, blame it on the fact that Mannie Fresh, despite his musical genius, was the most overworked producer in hip hop history at this point. Overall, "Guerrilla Warfare" is a memorable release that's sure to continue pleasing the Cash Money crowd, like it already has for eight years.

After a typically entertaining intro by Big Tymers, the album starts with perhaps Hot Boys' most well known song, "We on Fire." This song embraces the Cash Money braggadocio and extravagance as good as any, and the four MCs show a chemistry and uniqueness that made them stars, over a great Mannie Fresh beat. "Respect My Mind" lyrically is not the most impressive, but as far as style and swagger are concerned, it's great, with a glitzy beat and each rapper displaying their distinctive flow. "Help" has frenetic beats and nice horn instrumentation, Mannie Fresh performs well. "Ridin'" showcases simple production and typical flossing on the part of Hot Boys, it's a solid song, if not a little underwhelming. "Get Out tha Way" has a nice hook, otherwise it's another decent song but not too distinctive. I like "Clear tha Set" for what it is, Lil Wayne's solo, even though it's not absolutely memorable, and I like "I Feel" a little less. "Boys at War" is okay, musically a little boring and too long, this period is the album's weakest point. Juvenile uses a repetitive, conversational flow like in his classic "Ha" on the likable "You Dig," which has some very nice production. The memorable single "I Need a Hot Girl" follows, a Cash Money standard. I think my favorite song is "Tuesday & Thursday," because lyrically it is creative and musically it is excellent, a fine signature styled beat my Mannie Fresh. "Bout Whatever" is pretty nice, and "Shoot 1st" is clever and entertaining, a definite highlight. "Too Hot" closes out the album in representative fashon.

"Guerrilla Warfare" showcases the strengths and weaknesses of Cash Money and the Hot Boys in top fashion. If you're new to Cash Money music, this might not be the best album to start with, but fans of the rappers should pick this up if they haven't already. This is an uneven yet memorable album, and in many cases one for the collection.

Wow!!!!.......2006-06-01

wow this album is incredible. when i first popped it in i thought besides the singles help, i need a hot girl, and we on fire that this cd was pretty weak. but after listening to it again i dont know how in any parts of hell i got that opinion!!! this has to be one of the top 10 greatest albums to ever come out of the south in mine and many other opinions. great lyrics, great beats by mannie fresh once again to make you bob your head until it falls off, and great track listing.

Second time's the charm.......2006-09-19

When I first heard Lil Wayne's first album The Block Is Hot, I didnt feel it. The beats were horrendous and the guest appearances were just as bad. On this album Lil Wayne did a 360 and his raps got a lot stronger. Not onlt that but Mannie Fresh's beats sound way better on here plus the guest appearances are not a bad touch. Standout Tracks: GET OFF THE CORNER(Crazy first single), ON THE GRIND, HIT U UP, F*** WIT ME NOW, LIL ONE, WISH YOU WOULD, GROWN MAN, JUMP JIGGY, REALIZED, THA BLUES, LET'S GO and BEEF(dope song to end aN album with). Filler: Shine(cheesy second single), Biznite(funny but still stupid), Act A A**(boring, sounds like circus music). Bottom Line: Lights Out is Lil Wayne's best album. Better production, tighter rhyhmes from Lil Wayne and the guest appearances didnt bring this album down.

On the follow-up to I Got That Work, Cash Money Millionaires refugees Brian "Baby" Williams and Mannie Fresh put their mediocre rhyme talents to work, paying tribute to all the boyz in the hood who can still rock "gator boots with the pimped out Gucci suits" despite being poor ("Still Fly"). Huh? Cash Money's in-house producer, Fresh cooks up his usual supply of 808 drum-kick-heavy beats on "Hello" and "Oh Yeah" that sound as though they couldn't have taken more than a few minutes to hook up. But he's no sucker emcee or producer, and when he's at his best he's able to seamlessly fuse snappy techno beats with Parliament-style funk ("Get High"), which effectively sounds like something Outkast could have guested on. Sadly, the underwhelming rhymes on tracks like "Pimpin' Baby" (which finds the duo dully listing off their many high-cost accessories) nullifies Fresh's highly danceable rhythm constructions. When popular Southern DJ Greg Street's interlude promoting a Viagra-sponsored "I Can Still Get It Up Tour" contest is the album's high point, it's time to go back to the lab. --Dalton Higgins

Ghetto Millionaires.......2007-02-12

Cash Money Millionaires Baby (Birdman) and Mannie Fresh collectively known as Big Tymers release Hood Rich, brings everyday life to the ghetto. "Slick Talkin' (Intro)" contains the stunnin verbal gems from Baby himself. Using the sample in title "Oh Yeah!" to confirm the verses featuring Tateeze, Boo & Gotti, this song is the perfect lead-off song for the album as the attempt to bridge ghetto life and the mainstream. "...I fly in any weather..." was the concept of "Still Fly" as the show how even without money they still can shine. This highlight was just as the title states, fly. While the majority of the album was produced by member Mannie Fresh, Jazze Pha provided "Sunny Day" with a soulful, southern feel with organ chords and guitar licks with a blues twist featuring T.Q., Gotti & Mikkey. "The Preppy Pimp" is an interlude with a sexy slow grind accompanied with horns that complimented the feel of this LP. Baby said it best to open the song with his verse with "...f**k being the prince, I'm the King of the South..." on "#1" as Baby flies solo on this one. "I'm Comin'" featuring Mikkey, Gilly, Jazze Pha & T.Q. aided the Tymers over a Jazze Pha produced track as they all showed what they were working with. Baby took the background on "Gimme Some" as Mannie Fresh, T.Q. and Barewolf tried to get with the ladies over a R&B, mainstream groove. "Big" was tailored for the group as they tag teamed over the track without any hook only seperated by a breakdown. Laced with a horn selection, "Get High" featuring Jazze Pha showcased Mannie's bubbly style with a fun approach. As we know how Cash Money brought shining and stunnin' to the game, the Big Tymers showed what it derived from with "Pimpin'" and "Put That S**t Up" featuring Lac, Stone & Mikkey. "Da Man" featuring Trick Daddy is an upliftment out of the gutter lifestyle as they show how they had to struggle to get to this position as the conclusion of the album is aimed for upliftment. This album has a lot of hit and misses, but the strength of the LP lies in the first half and gradually slows down to a hault. If you are a Big Tymers and or a Cash Money fan Big Money Heavyweight is the album to have by them.

One star for each of the songs worth listening to on this album.......2006-09-16

Songs "Oh Yeah!" & "Still Fly" are definitely the stand-outs having both been in heavy rotation on MTV back in 2002 when they first came out.

A bit confused as to why they allowed an Atlanta Dj (Greg Street) to do a few skits and then name them all after him... "Greg Street Countdown," "Greg Street Stuntin," "Greg Street Radio." Who's cd is this anyway? The Dj's name is on it more than the artists themselves.

Other than the two singles mentioned earlier, the remainder of this cd is filler.

Pretty good album from the Big Tymers.......2006-07-12

The Big Tymers third album "Hood Rich" is more of the same from the duo. I'm a fan of very lyrical hip hop, but I admit that I have always had a soft spot for the Cash Money Millionaires and have enjoyed a lot of their music. Birdman and Mannie Fresh found themselves on the top of southern hip hop at the time of this release in 2002 after scoring hits for fellow Cash Money artists Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and BG, in addition to their previous albums "How You Love That?" and "I Got That Work". On "Hood Rich", they make more of the New Orleans bounce that made them famous. Mannie Fresh, a very capable producer, sticks to his horn fanfares, catchy hooks, and cool instrumentals. Lyricism is of course not the Big Tymers strength, so don't be expecting a Nas or AZ album in "Hood Rich". The biggest problem with the album is the absence of The Hot Boys. On the previous Big Tymers albums, the Hot Boys handled about half the rapping, overshadowing Baby and Mannie's modest mic skills. Lil Wayne, BG, Turk, and Juve never show up, instead replaced by a group of unknown guests including Gotti, Tateeze, Boo, and Mikkey. These guys are no Hot Boys and leave a lot to the Big Tymers. "Hood Rich" is still a pretty entertaining album that I'm sure many will like.

The opener "Oh Yeah" isn't too exciting, the beat a little uninspired, just like the verses, it's kind of tiresome. The album's obvious highlight is "Still Fly", one of Cash Money's crown jewels and probably the Big Tymers' greatest track to date. It's a classic horn fanfare, with a great hook sang by Mannie, it's a classic song that I absolutely love. The entire album basically stays afloat with this song. "Sunny Day" is one of the best here, with a happy sounding beat and a great appearance from the very talented crooner TQ. "Hello" is pretty funny, I like the funky beat. "#1" is a nice song, it sounds like the original Big Tymers we all know and love. "I'm Comin'" has a nice beat and hook, lyrics dealing with women, money, and cars, like Cash Money does. "Gimme Some" has a great, breezy beat, and TQ adds a great appearance. "Big" is entertaining as Cash Money tracks so often are but is tiresome by the end. "Get High" is excellent, nice beat and just a nice smokin' song. "Pimpin'" is too familiar. "Da Man" is quite good, but the rest of the songs toward the end are a little more forgettable.

"Hood Rich" is not bad, and fans of Cash Money like myself will most likely enjoy it. New fans should certainly check out earlier Big Tymers releases, and fans new to the style should purchase Juvenile's "400 Degreez". Big Tymers have obviously proven to be more capable than this album, but overall it is pretty enjoyable.

But really not a classic, of course it has standout songs but it is just another album

some songs are good but this isnt real rap (2.5 stars).......2005-02-19

some songs are pretty good like "Still Fly" "Oh Yeah" and "Da Man" but really this isnt real rap. All they talk about is money and cars. real rap talks about things like their life and guns and the hood. this doesnt talk about that stuff. I mean, its okay to have two or three songs talking about how good u are but NOT the whole album. It's real ANNOYING.
another thing is Mannie Fresh is MUCH better and entertaining than Baby. why does baby get so much credit and fresh gets like none.
but back 2 subject. i will definatly not get another Cash Money albums.

if u want some real rap check out some Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit albums (Eminem, Dr.Dre, 50 Cent, etc.). Also check out Wu Tang Clan and some old Ludacris.

2 and a half stars

GANGSTA.......2006-05-14

This is one of the best Juve CD's. The beats are fresh, with guest appearences from all of the hot boys. The production is very very good. Most people criticize this CD for not sounding like 400 while this CD is close to if not almost the same as 400 Degreez. The beats are straight up sick. Most people say that this CD talk s a lot about bling bling, no he doesn't most people criticize this CD without even listening, he talks about the G-Code and life in the projects. If you have known every Juvenile album everyone talks about something else. 400 is the most bumpable, and commercialized CD because of Back that @ZZ up. One of the top 3 Juvenile albums of all time next to 400 Degreez & Solja Rags.

1 year after he spit fire on the whole rap world wit 400 Degrees, Juve spit again wit the G Code. I get sit and damn tired of people dissin Juvenile, BG, Wayne, Luda, 36 mafia and other southern rappers. Give the folks they props mane. Its hard as hell to follow up a classic with a good CD, as 50 cent found out. How could somebody as simple, ghetto, and normal as juvenile do it? I have no idea. He is just one of those rappers who you keep listening to, like him or not, realize it or not.
Between the time the Biggie Smalls died and for the hit single "Ha" hit the radio, all other rappers were good, but nothing special about them. Hell the top rappers at that time were silkk tha shocker and DMx. Like I said good but not great.

Then some cat came from out of nowhere asking you a whole bunch of questions about everyday life. It seemed stupid at first. But after a while you said " Damn, Juvenile may been on to somethin". Then you find yourself buying his CD at Best Buy or Target instead from dude around the corna. Half way through the CD, you say " Damn, Juvenile on Fire (which is #17 on 400 degrees), but can he come out with another good CD?

Then he hit yo ass with G Code and you realize that he is a living legend. Not as explosive as 400 Degrees, but its hot enough to burn ya. Yes you will bump this everytime your in the hood, and yes u will find yourself buying other Juvenile albums.

All and all, great album by one of the all time greats.

I have to agree with that opinion of him cuase he's a hater.
But I have to also admit this cd sucks.
If you are late to the whole bling era like I was, DO NOT COPP this cd! Get BG's Chopper city in the Ghetto. That was at least 601 degreez.
I'm sorry. I'm a hardcore hotboys fan, but I will never think Juve is a good rapper. EVER! I will continue to copp his cds for collectors sake.

this sucks!.......2005-11-22

"Wow look'it me, i've got lots of bling, i'm a rich man, i'm a pimp, i'm a REAL MAN! Be like me! all i care about are material things like my bling, my hot bitches and my spinners! Oh, and i want to thank the Lord for all these blessings!"

this is GARBAGE.

want real hip-hop music listen to Del.

Im tired of people dissin southern rap. Now i Know that there arent a lot of lyricist but you gotta give credit where credit is due. These guys kik the real deal about their hood and to me the "realness" comes thru. At a time in rap where there are so many club and radio songs I greatly appreciate them sharing the struggles and ups and downs of project livin and story telling that has been missing since i would say the late 90's post biggie smalls-tupac murders. BUT , maybe you can't relate to it. Maybe you cant feel that fire that Mannie got. Maybe you just aint got no soul?
