Album Description

As one of the five epicenters of Southern hip hop, Memphis has long had a thriving artist community who have sold thousands of cds without major label support. In 2005-2006, America felt the heat from the Memphis streets more than ever with platinum hit makers like Eightball & MJG, recent Grammy Award winners Three 6 Mafia and others. Local legend Yo Gotti is the next to step up and rep his hometown with his TVT Records debut, Back 2 Da Basics. Gotti, along with Three 6 and Eightball & MJG, was recently featured on MTV's "My Block: The Hustle And Flow of Memphis" and in media ranging from Mass Appeal's 14 pg. spread on the Memphis scene to the New York Times review of one of his classic underground mix tapes.

Memphis is poised to become "the new Houston" as hip hop's next regional scene to bust into national prominence and Yo Gotti's new single, "Gangsta Party" featuring Bun B and Eightball is his ticket to big time blingdom. Back 2 Da Basics features more Gotti rhyme spitting with guest shots from Cash Money's All Star, Lil Wayne, Baby and Young Buck. One track on Back 2 Da Basics many may already be familiar with is "Full Time," a street's eye view real enough to be featured in the hit movie, "Hustle and Flow."

Fav tracks
1: Full time
2: Thats Whats up
3: Spend it cuz u got it
4: U gangsta right?
5: Im a Thug

Slackin in some areas.......2006-07-13

Yo Gotti in the past can spit some raw ish but on this one, I dunno what happpened.....The production seemed too generic, the rapping was pretty average and generic and not that impressive at all, and doesnt carry much replay value....To be honest, id pop in a Three 6 Mafia cd rather than this one....Album was slacking on so many levels, now theres some tracks that listenable, but the rest make it hard to enjoy this album, nothin special bout it at all...This album waz overhyped I believe and flopped horribly.......Gotti can do much better than this.....Wouldnt recommend anyone to chek it out.....

2.5/5

Yo GOTTI is beyound the basic's.......2006-07-12

man Im from Memphis and so is Gotti , I didnt like Memphis rap at first i just wasnt feelin it , but now Gotti got me in love with him this cd is Hot , Number 1 is the best song , ya'll cop this cd and Support Memphis aiigiht , 4 real M town all day!

its kool.......2006-07-06

this cd is good but not great. i liked his other cd's better tho. number 2 dat slap tho. if u like down south gangsta rap u should check this out tho.

It's Aight.......2006-06-12

Straight product but doesn't bring any new elements out of Memphis. Sounds similar to Three 6 and everyone else out the Tenn. At least Young Buck sounded a LITTLE different when he dropped... none the less o boy has potential. Holla when it's gangsta. Peace

Yo I'm Glad This Came Out.......2006-02-19

Yo This album introduced me to alot of artist I don't get to hear bout being from the east coast. I really enjoyed it. Some of the artist that I heard of or already purchased some of their work impressed me as well. The artist I were introduced to were Sly Boogie,Self Scientific,Kam and Crooked I. Crooked I man that man is pure flames right there though. I'm lookin forward to purchasing something solid from him. Of course you got Royce and Canibus, Common and others which makes this a all the gang is here kinda feelin to the album. Its' tight in my opinion don't sleep. If you wanna hear that raw midwest to west flow get this immediately. The production is there the artist show up and it's enough tracks to satisfy your craving of ill rhymes with some funny skits as well. Sway and Tech should get some hand shakes and pats on the back for this forreal. They openned my eyes to some artists I heard of but never heard.

Sounds a little too commercial.......2006-01-11

This or That was a better album than this. There are some dope rhymes galore but my problem are the choruses to the songs. They're either R&B-flavored or just weak overall and what a listener remembers most in a song is the chorus. I suspected that this album would be different since Sway started working for MTV. Also, there's too much Chino XL on here. I like Chino as much as the next fan but I could have just popped in one of his albums if I wanted to hear him that much.

4.5 Stars... The DVD made this definately worth the purchase..........2005-09-21

Let me state this before I say anything else --- "THIS OR THAT" is much much much much much better than this album. I mean its awesome to see that Sway & Tech still care about hiphop and lyricism as much as I do, but you can't even compare this album to This or That... infact even the album SAMPLER released on Sway & Tech's website was better than this album!

This or That was a mixtape that was a continuous flow of tracks, that blended so well together --- even the old school break in This Or That was showcasing how there were still rappers holding on to old school heritage. 'Back to Basics' continues the old school trend, but only in small dosages. Most of the R&B sung tracks tried to make lyrical heavyweights look commericalized and it didn't exactly mix well together. Chino XL & Tracy Lane did not mix well at all...

Anyway before I start complaining anymore, let me say why this album is also very good at times. Dirty Birdy was incredibly entertaining to listen to. Chino XL & Canibus FINALLY made a track together along with a hot appearance by Royce da 5'9. In fact, ALL the lyrics were very on point. Chino XL finally released some new material (OH I WISH HE WOULD GET SOME BETTER MANAGEMENT!!!)... although I REALLY FROWNED AT the 2000 live freestyle by him because it was released 4-5 years ago!!! Crooked Eye got some shine and his tracks were all fire (even though I heard the outro's verse before). RZA's intro was pretty hot. Dirty Birdy was fun as hell to listen to. Juice's track was really heart-felt! Even the rappers who popped up just for ONE verse all spit something hot (especially Canibus)... I'm just a little upset that some tracks on here were just some previously released material, rather than all the tracks being exclusively made for this compilation...

Either way, the album is stil 4.5 stars and the addition of the DVD to watch all the rappers in the booth helped to elevate this to a 5 star album...

Curiousity killed the cat, but if u come across this album for the first time. Your curiousity will be awarded --- in fact you'll definately be at least somewhat satisfied!

Slightly damaged.......2005-09-14

When I received the cd, the case was cracked across the top of the case. I'm not sure if that was from shipment or from the shipper but I don't like it.

very early techno, but a few stand out tracks,.......2005-04-15

Considering it's subtitled "back to basics", this volume lives up to its name. It's actually earlier sounding techno than X-static volume one. The songs are very simplistic and not at all hardcore or pumping, although there are a couple of tracks that clearly pushed the hardcore envelope and stand out as must have techno songs. So, if you are interested in having a compilation to demonstrate the progression towards hardcore techno, this is it, otherwise, look for later volumes to get that real techno sound.
