Weird kissing photo aside, this album is really good. That photo just completely killed it for those 2. It's too bad. The album is full of nice tracks. Anybody heard this yet? Thoughts? Weezy hatteurs, please step aside. I already know how you feel.

That was me - mind you, I just flicked through the CD once real quick so far but I felt my 7 dollars was well spent. The production on a couple tracks reminded me of the older stuff which surprised me since Fresh isn't on board.
I think it scanned 170K its first week, which makes it one of the better performing rap albums to come out this year--the photo clearly didn't kill anything.
It was mostly produced by T-Mix, who's a Suave House production vet, so it makes some sense that it would have a slight throwback sound. And there's one forgettable Scott Storch track, which Weezy refers to not as a Scott Storch beat but simply as "a Scott Storch".
This is a Scott Storch, and I am a hot torch
And gettin' money is my sport
And understand the rap game is my court
So I shall walk and come forth like a Rockport
Or some sort... of matchin' slippers or yacht shoes[/b]
See I don't cruise control; I control the crews
Yes--I gets throat on a boat
And I vow to never fall like soap on a rope...
well, now i'm buyin the album.
i had to explain "stuntin like my daddy" to someone last night.
played them like how? they don't sound like anything that wasn't done with an mpc/midi contorller/drum machine/etc.... If you are implying that those are live drums, I'm skeptical of that...
And damn, I didn't know the numbers were like that on week 1 sales. A lot of people were frontin' on that shit based on the photo. Good for them.
