I am a hip-hop head who buys mostly Lyricists Lounge and the roots of hip-hop kind of thing. I was so surprised by this album cause I never dug commercial rap. JD is a great rapper. Here is a review of each song.1.Turn It Out{featuring Nas} This is a dope track although Nas does two verses and JD only does one. Nas outshines JD on this track. Compared to Nas on this one, JD sounds like he could have been the guest. 10/10
2.Money Ain't A Thang{featuring Jay-Z} Now we all know by now Jay-Z is one of the best out there, and I give props to JD for holding strong on this track. Jay-Z is tight, but JD doesn't take any backseat to him. As for this track, it is awesome with dope rhymes from Jay-Z and JD. 10/10
3.Get Your Shit Right{featuring DMX and the Mad Rapper} I like this one. JD is dope on this track and the Mad Rapper and DMX compliment each other well. 9/10
4.Fresh{featuring Slick Rick} I'm a Lyricists Lounge fan and so this one is nice to me. Slick Rick is really good on this one but JD out-slicks him. JD changes his voice and it's awesome the way he talks in this one{like Slick Rick}. Slick's lyrics were real funny. 10/10
5.Sweetheart{featuring Mariah Carey} Damn, this is another good one. The video game sounds in the backsground are cool. Mariah really outshines JD on this one. Again, JD could be the guest on the song. 10/10
6.Jazzy Hoes{featuring Too $hort, Young Bloodz, Mr. Black, & Eightball} This is my favorite one. I like the pimping rap style. Again JD is outshined only doing the hook on the song. It's all good, though, because everyone came tight, especially the Young Bloodz. 10/10
7.Don't Hate On Me{featuring Da Brat & Krayzie Bone} I like this one because Da Brat and Krayzie compliment each other well. JD comes tight, too. 9/10
8.Going Home With Me{featuring Keith Sweat & R.O.C.} I didn't like the beat on this track. Keith Sweat is barely on the track. R.O.C. is alright. I'll give it a seven because JD blew up the spot. 7/10
9.You Get Dealt Wit{featuring Mase & Lil' Kim} I have never liked Bad Boy, and Mase's voice is so annoying on this. I do like Lil' Kim and I've been a fan of hers. JD is dope on this one. 9/10
10.The Party Continues{featuring Da Brat & Usher} I like Usher and Da Brat on this one. JD is also great on this track. Excellent song. 10/10
11.All That's Got To Go{featuring Da Brat & LaTocha Scott{Xscape}} This is another good one. Everyone is tight, but LaTocha Scott, who sings the third verse is tight but the lyrics{a Luther Vandross sample} have nothing to do with the rest of the song. It's all good, though. 10/10
12.Protector's Of 1472{featuring R.O.C., Snoop Doggy Dogg, & Warren G} This is a good one. Snoop is the dopest of them all with funny lyrics. JD doesn't do much for the song, but the guests help him out. 9/10
13."Lay You Down$Q This is my least favorite one. I can barely stand the way those two girls sing. JD is easily outshone. 5/10
14Unknown title {f/ R.O.C. & Mr. Black} Good one. 9/10
