Disco de Yung Berg: “Almost Famous: The Sexy Lady EP [PA]”

Descripción (en inglés) :

Originally signed to DMX's Ruff Ryders label as a teenager, Yung Berg first made big noise with the rowdy club-banger, "Sexy Lady." On the strength of that single, Epic put together ALMOST FAMOUS: THE SEXY LADY EP (2007) as a teaser to the Chi-town rookie's highly anticipated LP. Berg keeps it bouncy alongside JFK and Tony Loco on the equally club-friendly cut, "Into It" and does his best to match Twista's breakneck rhyme style on "Where Do We Go." THE SEXY LADY EP also features appearances by Jim Jones, Junior, and Rich Boy.

First off, let me say this, and this is gonna make some people furious I am sure, but on some of these tracks the way Berg sounds, he reminds me of Lil Wayne. Seeing how I think that Lil Wayne is whack anyways, maybe it's not such a bad comparison. Some of the stuff he says is just like Lil Wayne in that he will say one line, and then follow up with something totally unrelated that doesn't even make sense, it just happens to rhyme.

This EP starts off strong (if that is the appropriate word, it depends on how you feel about the single Sexy Lady) and then goes straight down the crapper and never looks back.

Just like almost all other new rappers, Yung Berg says absolutely nothing witty or original, on the song Almost Famous his verses would be comparable to Fabolous if he threw in some interesting metaphors/similies/analogies....but he does none of the above. Why Twista agreed to be on Where Do We Go is beyond me, why would you associate yourself with this clown? Doesn't really matter because even his verse is really generic and bland.

I thought maybe the remix would be good, but Jim Jones is whack as usual, Berg's new verse is just like the rest of his verses on the CD, nothing special, and the previous two makes Rich Boy's turn on the mic look like a highlight.

Even if you are someone that only pays attention to beats you can't give this EP much credit, the best are the Sexy Lady and Where Do We Go.....the last track, Painkiller, apparently isn't even a Yung Berg song but some R&B song by Nikki Flores. He drops a very forgettable verse, i don't even think its a full 16 bars. The beat on the song is average, but for me, as I get ready to throw on the new Common CD, an average beat isn't gonna save a darn thing, you gotta say somethin worth our time.

The best advice anyone can give Yung Berg is to pull this off the shelves and put Sexy Lady on his full CD in the fall - go back to the drawing board and think of something creative to say sohis debut doesn't bomb.
