    dont get caught? that song is incredible.




  • enjoyable record. i'm glad that they cleared the "mic check" sample (early promos had a wack keyboard version), and that "postman" beat is bananas. only had a chance to listen to it once, but i liked it.

    I'm a bit confused which promos your talking about. The one with dirty/clean and "You ain't my homie" on the B-side?

    nah that's the white label one on "santanas town" records.

    def jam sent out press CDs for the album a month or two ago with 5 songs - the horn sample from mic check was replayed on perhaps the shittiest sounding keyboard of all time. it was really an abomination - don't think that version ever made it to wax though.

    Any new thoughts on this now that it's officially out?

  • I am calling this album "What's Juelz been missing?" because this stinks just like all his other full-length efforts, basically sounds like a mixtape and has no flow and no real concept from track to track. That said, there are some bangers on there, but nothing I'm gonna remember six months from now except "clockwork" which is fucking filthy.

    i bought it and I enjoy it.

    I havent gave it a good listen though. I can say this: TOO MANY GODDAMN TRACKS!

  • maybe i just had high expectations... but damn i'm getting sick of rappers with like 1/3 of a good album.

    shit is depressing. Juelz is nice for sure - but this is no Purple Haze.

    I think this album is 2/3 good.

    There's way more quality than crap.

    I'd say the opposite.




    SO THERE!

    By the way, did you really expect otherwise?

    And no one is talking about the packaging. Did everyone just download it?

    That pop-up is

    I've got the vinyl. What's up with this pop-up? Explain please.

    Oh no no no... take that version back, get the special edition version with the DVD. The CD case has a pop-up of Juelz when you open one side. My Flint homies would call that "monster." I call it pure ig'nant genius.

    MON FOR SURE! I didnt see that version. I just copped it at vertigo and they only had one.

    Did I expect otherwise? No. Do I want otherwise? Yes. I have no problem copping, swapping, or downloading the songs I like from this dude but if he wants me to step to a full length LP he's gotta come stronger than this. Glad I don't have to pay for defjam releases

  • It was OK but a lot of his stuff sounds like a second-rate Joe Budden to me...and too many "rhymes" like this:

    So come fuck with the boy
    I'm still pumping the boy
    I'll still dump on the boy
    Blue steel pump to the boy


    I think it says a lot about the current state of hip hop that this dude is even talked about at all.

  • you don't get it.

    Seriously... no one got the 2-disc joint? Hip-hop pop-ups don't appeal to ya, hunh?

    I got the single disc because it was $9.99 and everytime I buy the CD/DVD combo I never watch the DVD. I'd rather have $3 in my pocket.

  • I got the 2 disc joint and I must concur that the pop-up is so next level that our graemlin for such does it no justice. Really great shit, I wanna do a photo series of it close up w/ different backgrounds! I think the album is pretty good overall, about what I expected and more bangers than the last one. The DVD is cool 'cause it's got the "shottas" vid which I'm not sure will make it to the small screen. The "interview" w/ Juelz is pretty retched though. He really needs to drop his act a little sometimes. I know he's a smart guy he just sounds like a fuckin' idiot in that "interview" though...Haven't watched to "making of" parts of the DVD yet...

    So what, you're like, the Concept King or somethin'?

    But the pop-up man, the pop-up! It's what the game's been missing!

    now i really, really want a prog-style concept album from Juelz, double gatefold LP: The Fantabulous Adventures of Dr. Human Crack, wherein he travels inside the body of a rock smoker, a la Fantastic Voyage.

    I would like an album that is at least as good as his mixtapes.
