The Truth 2000 Album

Review
Beanie is a passionate, strong rapper and he shows it in everything he does. A lot of the beats here though are standard average early '00s beats. The first half a dozen songs are incredibly generic and you wouldn't think that this was from one of the biggest labels. If you like what Jay had on some of his later Volume albums you may get more out of them. While not incredibly original, the best moments come in the improving second half of the album from songs like 'What Your Life Like' where Beanie talks on more sentimental topics like the terrors of being locked up and 'Die' where he spits about the temptations and ways one's life can be cut short. As much as I love Scarface, that collaboration is disappointing as the beat isn't great. Attached to the end of this is also Jay-Z's solo song 'Anything', which Jay expected to do good things, but almost flat out copying the format of an earlier hit in 'Hard Knock Life' normally doesn't work with the public. I don't like 'Hard Knock Life' and this has an even worse chorus taken from 'I'll Do Anything'. Best Tracks: The Truth, Remember Them Days, What Your Life Like, Ride 4 My, Die.
