I got my cd yesterday. Here is my review after a couple of listens.
Track 1 - Intro - Produced by Streetrunner. In my opinion this beat is very very hot. Could've been as good as "Breathe". But whereas Fab killed that beat. Fat Joe ruins this. He doesn't flow very well at all, he chats crap. It just feels dis-joined. I guess it's just an intro. But it could've been a good track.
Track 2 - Does Anybody Know - Produced by DJ Nasty. Again a good beat. Again the track feels dis-jointed. Did he actually record the lyrics over this beat? And less shouting please.
Track 3 - Safe 2 say - Produced by Just Blaze. A lot of people liked this. Some say best track on the album. I'm not feeling it. Nice beats from J.B as always. But just doesn't suit Crack. Too much shouting again.
Track 4 - So much more - Cool and Dre. Not a fan of this beat. But at least this actual feels like a song. Less shouting, Joe's flow is better and lyrics are nicer. 1 thing; stop the singing.
Track 5 - My FoFo - Cool and Dre. The best "song" so far. Joe actually comes pretty nice on this. Decent lyrics and flow. Good beat as always from cool and dre. Nice.
Track 6 - Rock ya Body - Cool and Dre. I like this track. Cool and Dre are hot are the moment. Typical Fat Joe track. Sticking to what he's good at.
Track 7 - Listen Baby - Swizz Beatz. Swizz has made a good comeback this year. Nice beats again. Feels dis-joined again though.
Track 8 - Get it Poppin' - Scott Storch. Decent beats, but not on par with Storch's recent beats. Joe's flow is good. Lyrics sound like something 50 would put out on his "love tracks." It's got Nelly on it.
Track 9 - Temptations Pt1 - DJ Khaled. Nice beats. Joe sounds a little off beat, but it's not too bad. Quite like it, but it's a little boring.
Track 10 - Temptations Pt2 - LV. Produced by Joe's DJ. Not bad, but misses something. Joe shouts too much again.
Track 11 - Everybody get up - Produced by Timbaland. Typical Tim beat. Not bad. Party track. It's OK. But if Fat Joe swallowed Pun's rhyme book, that shit is now giving him indigestion.
Track 12 - I can Do U - Cool & Dre. One word. No.
Track 13 - So Hot - Cool & Dre. I quite like this. I know I'm sad. Nice tuneful beats from C&D. And nice catchy hook from R.Kelly. Joe's flow is simple, but at least he's not shouting. Simple lyrics. But Joe needs to stick to what he knows.
Track 14 - Lean Back (RmX) - SS. Doesn't need a review.
Track 15 - Beat Novacane 9 - DJ Khaled. 80's rock influenced beats. Has a lot of energy. Joe shouts a bit on here but I still like it. Loop is a little repetitive. Ok.
Track 16 - Hold you Down - Corey Rooney. I blame the fact I fancy J.LO for me liking this track. It's a bit wet. Joe should stop singing, I only know 1 person worse, me. But I quite like it. Yes I do.
Overall there's a lot of good beats on this album. Joe isn't consistent enough to make a decent album. There's a few decent singles. But that's it. It could've been a great album, but they forgot to add a talented rapper. However I would say it was worth 15 pounds/dollars/euro's. I'll play it for a week or 2, and I'm not dissapointed that I bought it. Joe justs seems to be doing what 50 does though, but not as well. It's just that for some reason Joe gets more respect. Maybe it's because he doesn't sell as well.
Gets 3/5 from me.
