Dimensions 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 Eh, they're ok, the beats aren't as cool as Basic Thuganomics or Time is now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kizzo 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 As a fan of hip hop.....I didn't think John Cena could write a good hip hop album...but I must say listening to those tracks........I kind of liked it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted May 1, 2005 Cena has good flow, but the beats leave something to be desired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boon 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 I'm not a big fan of hip hop, but being from Boston, I enjoyed "Beantown." It ain't terrible, like Rock's attempt at music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted May 1, 2005 I may hate John Cena's "wrestling" ability, but if I'm dumb enough to buy that WWE Originals CD (cries), I guess I can drop $13 on this thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 Its not bad really. At least my ears didn't bleed like I was thinking they would when I was listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted May 1, 2005 He's got nothing on Macho Man. Is that a compliment or an insult? I don't think anything can be worse than Macho Man's "Rap" album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claydude14 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 I loved 'Be a Man'; Macho's album. I'm sure I'll love this too. Guess I'm just a mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Da Maintenance Man 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 Looks like it might be a decent album. I unfortunately don't think Cena has much of a future in hip-hop due to the fact that's he's a wrestler and the hip-hop community as a whole just doesn't take wrestling seriously. The only people that'll be buying this album will be WWE fans sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 I've heard far worse beats from better rappers. I was expecting some really horrible beats. They're fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 Those were pretty bad. The only one I like is the one he uses as his entrance music, the rest were generic early-mid 90's stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest hsg090281 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 Cena's theme song opening is IDENTICAL to "the funeral" from clipse ft. neptunes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 The beats have some potential, but they're not very original, or fully realized. Better than what some mainstream rappers have on their records? Probably, but mainstream rap is 90% garbage. For something released by the WWE I guess it's better than I had any right to expect, but still, it's a WWE rap record, just hollow product Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claydude14 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 I predict half of the buys will come from fans who only want it for "The Time is Now." Yea that's the main selling point for me. I've been a fan of the song since he debuted it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite that I like Cena more now, mostly cuz he mentioned my original Hometown of Yonkers, NY during his MSG promo. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
