This doesn't reflect the state of true hip hop, only the state of commercial rap... hiphop.jivefood

You learned it? really, maybe you should learn grammar before using a computer.

Shock value is quite possibly the worst cd of any kind i have heard in the last 20 years. It sounds more like britney spears than any hip hop album. Sad, that albums like that sell. And before you hate me for saying that, i'm from the south and i like most dirty south music.

All this new sh*t is wack as f*ck. Hip hop has not been great since 1996. When is everyone gonna realize that. Record sales don't say anything about the quality of the music. Too bad the good sh*t from the 80's and 90's will never return.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion... I just suggest that u make sure you goin off of the best info before you come to any type of conclusion. For those that say paul wall is weak i want u to go back and listen to get ya mind correct (paul wall & chamillionare). You all may have a different perspective of the boi then.... As far as the white rapper comment..bubba-underrated, lil wyte-underrated....when these cats come out spittin' they get overlooked. When they switch it up to give the public what they want- now they're commercial or sell outs. F*ck all that, these folks need to eat to. I say get your money up and forget the haters. If more ppl paid attn.- tim said a while back that this album wasn't the 'typical' hip-hop album...he like many of us consumers (the eighties babies mostly), has grown bored with the state of the music and is movin in his own lane. Let him do him....if u think you can make a better album (this is to no one in particular) do just that and show us all how it's supposed to be done. Until then shut the F*ck up. Thank you.
