Honestly there is only one sone that I like here and that is the one with Krayzie Bone because I'm a big fan of Bone Thugs other than that this cd is a crude example of no talents having a record deal.I just can't fathom a world where gifted singers have great voices and write amazing songs that don't have any contracts while lil jon and the whatever boys have an album were the only thing they say is what, yeah,ok and profanities that really have no part in music.To me lil jon is the worst thing to happen to rap since 2pac and Biggie were killed.The man is an untalented rapper,is annoying,an ugly ass mo fo and very ignorant looking.It is just sad now that every rap or hip hop song uoy now has his touches,hell he is even producing for and I kid you not,Hillary Duff and Paris Hilton.For other genres that would mean he has sold out but for rap is just"hustlin" which is so corny going from street thugs to rich white pop girls.My cousin,a rap addict says that he is tight and is a great mc,I just can buy it because I grew up with 2pac,Biggie,Nas,NWA,Run DMC and Bone Thugs and Harmony who put out great rap,but now every song I hear on hip hop stations is just an abomination to music in general.Hopefully this lil jon fad will die down fast and lil jon and crunk will just be a bad memory.Final word don't buy crunk albums cuz they suck.

Lil John & The Eastside Boyz can easily claim their title as Kings Of Crunk. No other artist in the music game is this hype. NOBODY. If you want to go fight somebody then throw on this Lil John cause it's guaranteed to get your adrenaline rushing and yo blood pumpin. If you getting ready for a big game and you need something that is in your face/ I don't give a you know what about the opponent type music. This is the ticket. Do you wanna show people who yo click is? You can Rep Yo City with this here baby. Throwing signs? Throw It Up then (yo). You need to show some people who run [stuff] where you at...go head and show em. Everybody is on this album: Too Short, Pastor troy, TI, Mystikal, Big Gipp, Oobie, Ying Yang Twins, Chyna White, Krayzie Bone etc. etc.

Lil John & The Eastside Boys come up with some of the most grimiest hardest chants. Easy To pick up on first listen, which adds to the enjoyment. This is music you can participate in instead of just singing the hook. You throw on this Lil John and everybody know the words. The beats are off the chain of course. This is riot music. Yes it does start riots, yes it does cause fights to break out over no reason. At least act like you know if you don't. EVERYONE in ATLanta has this album. That joint be riding. If you are a true G, you need to get this if you don't already have it. Recommended.

1. Knockin Heads Off feat. Jadakiss & Styles
2. I Don't Give A ... feat. Mystikal & Krayzie Bone
3. Rep Yo City- feat. Bun B, Eightball, E-40, Petey Pablo

5. Keep Yo Chullin Out The Street feat. Big Gipp


This CD is OFF the HOOK!   May 28, 2003

I have purchased a previous Lil Jon & the Eastside Boys CD, and enjoyed 3-5 songs. I just purchased this CD and have listened to it twice. I have to say that this CD is definately off the hook! The hottest song on the album is "Get Low." After that, the best songs are "Bi**h" "Ooh na na.." "Nothin on" "Throw it up" "Rep yo city" and definately "Weedman." Basically, the only tracks I skip are the skits! This is the best dirty south rap CD I have heard in a LONGGGG time. I have a 15" subwoofer for my computer, and feeling the bass on this CD makes me want to go and get a system for my car! If you don't have this cd....WHY????


Don't have a heart attack--it's just music, damn it!   May 13, 2004

I like to do this from time to time: when I'm bored, I'll see what's popular on Amazon.com and read the reviews that berate the product. 9 times out of 10, I hear something along the lines of "this CD/book/DVD/oven mitt is IRREFUTABLE PROOF that this generation has no taste in music/literature/movies/oven mitts! Damn MTV!"

Need some help getting that stick out of your rear?

For one, it really bothers me when there are people out there who're trying to dictate what's "acceptable" for us to listen to. "Oh, listen to some Mos Def or some J-Live, man, 'cause that's REAL rap!" If by that you mean that they're good lyricists, then yes, by all means, I agree that they're great at what they do. They're backpackers. Lil' Jon, on the other hand, has his pimp cup. He's from a different world. He's not going to be the next Rakim (who, by the way, is entirely overrated as a lyricist. But I digress....), but the guy is a genius at what he does. Besides, how many genuine club bangers can you think of that have really good lyrics? He's managed to single handedly get just every rump in every club shaking, coast to coast. When was the last time YOU'VE accomplished something like that?

Furthermore, this newfangled "crunk" isn't a byproduct of "the evil mastermind that is MTV," but rather a local sound developed in the late eighties/early nineties in the south. And pop rap? "Rapper's Delight," anyone? If you look at it in a certain way, hip hop was BORN from pop rap, not the other way around.

I don't understand how people do not consider this music. If Sigur Ros is music, then this is music. This is Sigur Ros, except completely opposite.

I'm not Lil' Jon's biggest fan. In fact, I don't own a single CD of his. But I like what he does. If I want complex lyrical landscapes then I'll turn on some Common Sense or put on my Haiku D'Etat album. If I want something to relax to at dusk, I'll play some Charles Mingus or Stan Getz. Each type of music fills a different need and stimulates a different emotional center. And if my "bass-shakin'-my-bones-let-it-loose-at-the-club" emotional center feels neglected, Lil' Jon's got what I need.
