Album Rate: 3 out of 5 Stars

This is Skinny Pimps first release after leaving Prophet, I had huge expectations for this one. This album is a perfect example of what happens when you leave some tight producers-the albums beat are terrible. The first cut is called "Another Riot Remix II"-this song is alright, but the beat is terrible, Skinny throws song nice lyrics together with this cut. The next cut is called "Pimps" and its really tight, he has a tight sample from Master P on this cut, he drops really nice vocals on this cut. "Murder Money" is the next cut and this cut is alright-its a different kind of cut for Skinny Pimp but its pretty tight-there are a few niggas that get the fuck off on this cut flowing their asses off.

"Bad Day" is up next and this song is crunk-it features "Bigg Time"-the beat is a little elementary but I am really feelin this cut. "Fall Up In The Crib" is the next cut and this shit is just terrible-nothing good to say bout this song. "Untochable" is next and this song is tight as fuck, very nice beat, nice vocals by Alexus in the chorus and Skinny tears the lyrics up, he drops some tight ass verses. After that is "Maf Like The Mafia"-the beat on this one is alright, the vocals are alright at the best but still nothing special. "Still Hustlin" is up next and this song is tight as fuck also mane, he drops really nice vocals on this one, the beat is pretty tight also.

"Break Ya Self" is the next cut, the beat on this shit is tight as fuck-very gangstafied beat-he is flowing slow on this cut but the song is really nice. "On The Dance Floor" is up next and this shit is terrrible, whack ass cut. "My Sistaz" is after that and it is terrible also-I dont know what this nigga is thinking. "Big Ballin" is track 12 and it falls in line with the last few songs-it aint nothing special, Skinny drops alright lyrics but the beat is terrible. "Yall Niggaz Aint No Killaz" features Bigg Time, AK and Z-Dog, this song is terrible.

The last cut is called "Pass It Up"-mane this is another terrible song. I was very dissappointed this album in general. Skinny does drop nice lyrics but the beats are just terrible. There is maybe like 4 songs that you will bump, other then that there isnt much anything to talk bout with this album. I would recommend you pick it up if you are a Skinny Pimp fan but if you are just a Memphis rap fan or Dirty south rap fan-You can do without this album.
