Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 Not bad, not bad at all. It's a long album, 23 tracks and about 75 minutes. The initial stretch of the album is my favorite part, with "Fuck the Ying Yang Twins", "Long Time" (with Anthony Hamilton), "Live Again" (with Adam Levine), and "Ghetto Classics", a weird but good statement on blacks in the military. But overall it's solid, and fun to listen to throughout. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 Slow start, but once it gets going, they're as good as ever. Once you hit "Wait" there's no turning back, so that being the hit single helps as well. There were too many skits, promos and shout outs on the album, but they delivered again. It's not a landmark like Me & My Brother, and I don't think there's anything on it as strong as "Grey Goose" or "Georgia Dome", but it's a fine album. If you like this style, it's a must own. Me & My Brother I felt comfortable recommending to people even if they didn't like the style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 They reaffirmed that their music should only be played in the strip club because it is pure trash outside of it. It basically sounds like what you would get if Dr. Suess got all gully and decided to curse alot and talk about ass. Simple..simple simple rhymes with beats that are too good for the material they are backing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple..simple simple rhymes with beats that are too good for the material they are backing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Personally, I think the Ying Yang Twins actually fit their beats better than most groups. The beats are designed to make girls get up on the dance floor and grind, and the lyrics tend to reflect that. Maybe it's just because I haven't seen it done yet, but I'm guessing it would be awkward to hear Black Star wax political over the "Wait" beat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 Hey, I love their lyrics, and they do fit well into the type of music they do. There's a time for Dr. Suess. They're funny, and the Ying Yangs are just fun music. 2 Live Crew I would point to as an example of doing that kind of rhyming poorly, while I think the YYTs do it well.
