A lot of artists succumb to being over produced and *featuring* many other artists on their albums --artists that really don't add anything, except to underscore why we *have* (and need) a cutting room floor.
Not true here. Throughout this album and across the lyrics DB and friends are provocative, thoughtful, and humorous.
Banner = quality
David Banner really put all he could into this album and it paid off. It's very different from what I'm used to and I like that he changed it up. He has a lot of good people on the album with him and whole album is just great. There really isn't too much that you can say but to go buy the album for yourself it's worth every penny.
And also EVERYONE should give DB some respect he's true to what he says and it comes from the heart. He's a funny guy and a great rapper but he's also educated and I want EVERYONE to know that. He's not just some dumb rapper that sold drugs to get to where he is. He went to college and has a degree and on top of all that he was broke not too many years ago. Look where he is and what he's doing right now....he's putting money back into the community...he's own money. He deserves respect for that. So before anyone is quick to judge him saying that he isn't all that great, does your favorite rapper give back to the community or does he/she ice up their wrist and neck? Do they buy cars and clothes, not giving a damn about what's going on or remembering what life was like before they made it big? David Banner one the few who cares and I love and respect him for that.
Don't make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
(That especially goes for you, Mr. McGee.)
David Banner went all out on this CD there's songs that i like, and songs that are okay.
Song list
1)I like this song a lot, its catchy, and you can bump it in your car.It's an angry song
2)This sounds like some old David Banner, another loud, angry song, males seem to get crunk to this song
3)I didnt really get this song... at all. it doesnt make sence. It's alright, not my favorite
4)I really like this song, its my favorite song on the album, the singing in the chorus, is really good, you gotta love it! It's a real party song
5)Play... haha so much to say about it. It's nasty, but u gotta love it! I love this song, David Banner did his thang!
6)One of the slow songs on the CD, It has a very umm.... interesting chorus. lol, you will have to find out what its about!
7)This is my other favorite song on the album. It's a slower song, it reminds my of my boo. Boys and girls can relate to this song, its not just for girls!
8)This is a clubbin song for sure! Twister does his thing on this track! i love it! everyone should have this song! It's HOTT!! I put that on everything!
9)This song has a female in it! finally! ha, but its hard core, males would like this song, relating to people thinkin they are the stuff! Its an okay song
10) I love this song! when it came out, i was sprung on it! Most of you have probably heard it. "I aint got nothin" with lil Boosie.
11)I personally love B.G. and he brings A LOT to this song. This song is another hardcore rap song. Talking about "bloody war"
12)This song reps the WEST SIDE! where i am from! so i really love this song. Its about California, and the chorus will grab anyone, and get them crunk.
13)I like this song, its got a somewhat relaxing beat, but the lyrics break that relaxing, once again talkin about people thinkin they the stuff.
14)This is deffinatly the slow song on the album, it reaches out and touches you. It makes you sit back and think about yout life.
15)The beat on this song is hot, It's a pretty good song.
16)I didnt not like this song, its about "getting x'ed", and didnt we just hear that song from J-Kwon. I skip over this song.
17)This song brings together rock and rap. I really like this song too. It's different, and i like different sometimes, this is a REALLY good song.
ok..if you want to buy this cd for just play..dont..play is a totally different kind of song than the rest of the cd..i was hesitant to buy this one because i wasnt sure if i liked his first album. i ended up buying it because i had some extra cash and im VERY glad that i bought it. almost every song on here is great. i agree with the reviewer below me about the song "ridin'". it IS very racial but in my opinion also, it is the best song on the cd. talib kweli BLOWS it up on his verse. my favorite line is "and if a white boy ever says this sh*t he'll still get punched right in the mouth"..hmm..other great songs include lost souls, treat me like, 2 fingers..this song took me by surprise..i thought it was going to be a "bubblegum" pop song but i was wrong.. this is my sleeper pick off the album, westside..my other favorite, and crossroads. this album has a lot of guitars in it so if you dont like raps over a guitars or electric guitars than dont bother. david banner just lays it all out on the line for this one...definitely get this one..dont sleep on it, you'll regret it if you do..
