Styles P Album: “Time Is Money [Edited]”

Description :

Personnel include: Styles P (rap vocals); Gerald Levert, Jagged Edge, Marsha (vocals); Akon, Sizzla, Talib Kweli, The Lox (rap vocals). <p>Recording information: 2006. <p>Styles P had been through his share of trials and tribulations, between the success of his certified gold debut, A GANGSTER AND A GENTLEMEN, and the release of its much-delayed follow-up, TIME IS MONEY. After a brief prison term for assault, Styles's label drama began, and he chose to go the mixtape route, recording three while Interscope put TIME IS MONEY on the back burner. Nearly two years after its first single came out, the Lox's most laidback crew member's sophomore album finally arrived to smash the world. With his measured cadences, sly one-liners, and understated intensity, Styles P once again proves he can display all the lyrical power of the most amped-up rhyme spitter without losing his cool. Tight production comes courtesy of Havoc, Lil Jon, Rashad, Hi-Tek, and the Alchemist, while the guest list features Talib Kweli, Jae Hood, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, Akon, and Marsha of Floetry.

- Solid Album from the Ghost.....and don't listen to a kids review

I'm a fan of Styles first album A Gangster and a Gentleman, so when i first heard about this album, i was excited but then it was getting pushed back by interscope after 50 cent(G-UNOT) coerced them to do so cause he was beefin with The Lox. Anyways, from what I've heard of the CD, i think its about on the same level as the first. and to the kid that did the review, stop listening to chicken noodle soup and listen to REAL music, this is something hip hop needed. So, to those who value real music and not retarded things like chicken noodle soup, chain hang low etc. buy this album. You won't be disappointed.

- SP the ghost comes back strong

Well, it took him a veryyyy long time for his CD "Time is Money" to drop but when it finally did, it definitely bumped. With great producers on his tracks such as Scott Storch, the alchemist, Lil jon, Havoc and Swizz beatz, styles is able to captivate his listeners topped off with his raspy high pitched flow.

You may have heard the single "I'm Black" featuring Floetry, which was on the airwaves over a year ago! But it is still hot, to this day. Personal favorites of mine on this second solo project from D block member Styles P include: "Can you believe it" feat Akon (which has an awesome beat from Lil Jon), "testify" feat talib kweli and perhaps my favorite track, "who want a problem" feat the Lox and Swizz beats.

Overall, styles p brings the heat back to the game. I bet Jada drops one more solo and than they all come back together as the Lox to put together a DOPE display of lyricism, yet again!

- 2nd solo is another good one - 4.5 stars

Almost 4 ½ years since Styles graced us with his classic solo debut, "A Gangster & A Gentleman" the Ghost is back with his 2nd solo, after 1 year of push back dates and a few songs less than it was supposed to be. Not as good as his debut, but still a solid 4 star album. Shorter then it was originally supposed to be (16 songs), at only 12 songs, but you get 1 classic, 3 ok songs, and the other 8 are good or real good songs. Guests are on all but 2 songs, rapping on 3 and doing the chorus on 7 more so not as much of Styles is heard as I'd have liked. His lyrics are the same, mostly gangsta tales or hustling tales with a deeper more personal song or 2. Production is pretty good, Supa Mario & Vinny Idol do 2 songs, Neo does 2, Havoc, ALChemist, Hi-Tek, Huu Banga, Scott Storch, Rashad, Lil jon, Dame Grease all do 1 song. A nice album for RR/D-Block real gangsta rap fans to have.

#1 - 10 (CLASSIC - f/ jae Hood - tight beat)

#2 - 8.5 (f/ Talib Kweli)

#3 - 9 (relaxing beat by Havoc)

#4 - 8.5 (f/ Gerald Levert - R.I.P.)

#5 - 6.5 (f/ Sheek, Jadakiss & Swizz Beatz (who provides a below-par beat)

#6 - 8 (f/ rashad)

#7 - 7 (f/ Akon - Styles don't fit right on a Lil jon beat)

#8 - 9 (f/ Jagged Edge - nice beat)

#9 - 8.5 (f/ Floetry - nice beat)

#10 - 7 (f/ the ridiculously annoying voice of Sizzla - much better song w/o him)

#11 - 8 (f/ Flipsyde)

#12 - 9

- Time and Money well spent!

I have always liked Styles P even though I found his debut album A Gangsta And A Gentleman lukewarm. Where Styles failed in his first album he shines on here. Standout Tracks: G JOINT(Styles and J-Hood take shots at G-unit), TESTIFY(great matchup with Talib Kweli), REAL S***(RIP Gerald Levert), CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, IM BLACK(necessary street anthem), FIRE AND PAIN(killer collabo with Sizzla), BURN ONE DOWN, LEAVE A MESSAGE etc. Filler:I know Im not the only one who thinks that records like Favorite Drug(which sounds exactly like T.I's Why You Wanna)and Kick It Like That(featuring Jagged Edge) are beneath Styles P. Bottom Line: This is one of the best albums of 2006. Styles P's Time Is Money is better than A Gangsta And A Gentleman in every way. Sleek production, tight rhymes and dope matchups make this album a necessary purchase. Its sad that this album is going to be slept on for the same reason(coming out in late December? WTF?) that Nas's Hip Hop Is Dead is going to be slept on.
