Análisis (en inglés) - :
Just as they'd done a decade earlier with {\West Coast gangsta rap}, the major labels funneled millions of dollars into the early-2000s {\Dirty South} boom, catapulting previously unknown artists like {$Petey Pablo} to overnight-superstar status. Like {$Ludacris} and {$Nelly}, {$Pablo} had a major label ({@Jive}) with enough clout to guarantee national exposure and a lead single with a great video ({&"Raise Up"}) to drive album sales. And, like what happened with {$Ludacris} and {$Nelly} -- and many others -- {@Jive} proved that they could manufacture a multi-platinum {\rap} superstar overnight with its industry clout. But, as disheartening as the industry politics may be, particularly to all the myriad other {\Dirty South} rappers with no chance at similar success, you can't slight {$Pablo} -- he proves himself worthy of big-league success on his debut album, {^Diary of a Sinner}. First of all, and most obviously, there's the gigantic lead single, {&"Raise Up."} {@Jive} went out of its way to hook up {$Pablo} with {$Timbaland} for a few songs, and the results are surely worth the hefty tab. Sure, {&"I"} and {&"I Told Y'All"} are album highlights, but it's {&"Raise Up"} that once again showcases precisely why {$Timbaland} is the best of the best. In addition to the trademark shuffling, bass-heavy rhythm and the catchy, singalong hook, {$Timbaland} throws in some swirling guitar and violin sounds for a frenzied feeling that makes {&"Raise Up"} one of the rowdiest {\Dirty South} anthems of the decade. The remainder of the album isn't nearly as riveting as {&"Raise Up,"} but it's still worth listening to. {$Pablo} shows that he's something of a Southern {$DMX} -- a gruff, thuggish man among boys who is thoughtful and lyrical as well as spiritual and moral. Plus, though he's not afraid to boast, he never raps about money, cars, women, drugs, or anything remotely associated with "ballin'." It's this emphasis on the inner self rather than materialism that makes {$Pablo} so refreshing. And it doesn't hurt that he handles all the rhymes on his album. So, even if many will be disappointed to find that nothing else on {^Diary of a Sinner} comes close to {&"Raise Up,"} it's still one of the better {\Dirty South} albums of the early 2000s, and surely one of the more sincere efforts. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
