Hood Rich explicit_lyrics

brought me back in tyme!

I am very pleased with the date it came. And really like the product.

Big Tymers is the greatest

sometimes I like to reach back in time and pick up a cd I haven't heard in a while.

very good crystal rose took longer than expected

Could somebody please tell me why all this hate is drawn towards these guys?I mean,the CD was #1 the first week.Plus they weren't on the all-about Cash Money thing with this CD.For one-Juvenile,B.G. and Turk weren't on this album,two-the only original CMR member that WAS on the album (Lil Wayne),didn't rap and three-they went outside the record label and got a guest producer (Jazze Pha) and rapper (Trick Daddy) for a few songs."Still Fly" shouldn't be the only song reconized on this CD.Songs like "Oh Yeah!","Big","Put It Up",and "#1" (No,they ain't copying off Nelly {Remember "#1 Stunna"?}) should be considered as somethin' to listen to.I mean,even the "Greg Street" skits is off the hook.So would someone other than me and 2 or 3 other people show some respect for Cash Money?I mean if they weren't any good,Universal wouldn't have signed 'em.They wouldn't have any platinum albums in their possession either.

The Big Tymers third album "Hood Rich" is more of the same from the duo. I'm a fan of very lyrical hip hop, but I admit that I have always had a soft spot for the Cash Money Millionaires and have enjoyed a lot of their music. Birdman and Mannie Fresh found themselves on the top of southern hip hop at the time of this release in 2002 after scoring hits for fellow Cash Money artists Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and BG, in addition to their previous albums "How You Love That?" and "I Got That Work". On "Hood Rich", they make more of the New Orleans bounce that made them famous. Mannie Fresh, a very capable producer, sticks to his horn fanfares, catchy hooks, and cool instrumentals. Lyricism is of course not the Big Tymers strength, so don't be expecting a Nas or AZ album in "Hood Rich". The biggest problem with the album is the absence of The Hot Boys. On the previous Big Tymers albums, the Hot Boys handled about half the rapping, overshadowing Baby and Mannie's modest mic skills. Lil Wayne, BG, Turk, and Juve never show up, instead replaced by a group of unknown guests including Gotti, Tateeze, Boo, and Mikkey. These guys are no Hot Boys and leave a lot to the Big Tymers. "Hood Rich" is still a pretty entertaining album that I'm sure many will like.The opener "Oh Yeah" isn't too exciting, the beat a little uninspired, just like the verses, it's kind of tiresome. The album's obvious highlight is "Still Fly", one of Cash Money's crown jewels and probably the Big Tymers' greatest track to date. It's a classic horn fanfare, with a great hook sang by Mannie, it's a classic song that I absolutely love. The entire album basically stays afloat with this song. "Sunny Day" is one of the best here, with a happy sounding beat and a great appearance from the very talented crooner TQ. "Hello" is pretty funny, I like the funky beat. "#1" is a nice song, it sounds like the original Big Tymers we all know and love. "I'm Comin'" has a nice beat and hook, lyrics dealing with women, money, and cars, like Cash Money does. "Gimme Some" has a great, breezy beat, and TQ adds a great appearance. "Big" is entertaining as Cash Money tracks so often are but is tiresome by the end. "Get High" is excellent, nice beat and just a nice smokin' song. "Pimpin'" is too familiar. "Da Man" is quite good, but the rest of the songs toward the end are a little more forgettable."Hood Rich" is not bad, and fans of Cash Money like myself will most likely enjoy it. New fans should certainly check out earlier Big Tymers releases, and fans new to the style should purchase Juvenile's "400 Degreez". Big Tymers have obviously proven to be more capable than this album, but overall it is pretty enjoyable.

If you're looking for a thought-provoking album with deep lyrics...then the Big Tymers new album isn't for you. But if you want a CD that can make you dance and laugh at the same time then the Big Tymers new album, Hood Rich, should be the next CD you purchase. Besides the first single, Still Fly, there are a few club songs that are pretty cool like "Gimmie Some" and "Oh Yeah!" But the best thing about the Big Tymers new album are the beats...those brothas produced a HOT album. Even when I found myself laughing and shaking my head at the lyrics...you can't help but still love the songs because of the beats that stick in your head. So even if the Big Tymers aren't your favorite hip-hop group, the album is still definitely worth checking out if you want to here some good beats and fun lyrics.
