Title: Music as a Money Grab
Product review: I grew up on East Coast rap such as Schooly D, Public Enemy and BDP, but I never thought that it would bias me in any way towards quality hip hop. I must be wrong because people love this CD and I don't. The sound that emanates from the "dirty south" is all about being gangsta and spending money foolishly... topics that I found tiresome in the early 90's when it was still relatively fresh.There is one song that makes an attempt to address social issues, but it comes off as contrived due to the rest of the album's topics of interest. How can you rap about local politics forcing one into a life of crime as being a bad thing when you glorify the fruits of your "labor" the rest of the album?
