I forgot how annoying 'DJs' are on these kind of mixtapes. FFS! It's annoying on Snoop's recent tape, but it's taken to a whole other level here. Who thinks it's a good idea to have this corny, irritating guy screaming all over the songs? It almost ruins it. This is him at the end of 'Bruh' - "I got my mojo back. Oh, behave!"... What a clown.
I'm not feeling the opening songs much but it improves from 'Street Cred' to have a number worth repeating in the second half of the project. Lyrically, there isn't much that stands out. I've bemoaned at these rappers who haven't sold one mg of drugs for 40 years still spitting about it. Pusha T is the biggest offender in hip hop. It's boring.
The production has some high moments and Jeezy flows well as he always has. I don't like enough tracks enough, or think any of them are amazing to give this a higher rating though.
Best Tracks: Plug On Em, I Ain't Gone Hold Ya, How Deep, BIG SNO, One Hunnid
As someone who ranks peak Simpsons as the greatest show of all time, garbage like this annoys me. At least the Plusaversary has some decent jokes. The show has fallen off but with horrendous, waste of time shorts like these, it is really ruining its legacy. Disney truly is evil.
Unless you love hip hop and rock/metal, you won't like everything here. It begins with five good hip hop songs, before the average 'Shut Up' by Trick Daddy and Co, and then it has a number of songs in the middle of the soundtrack from the rock sub genres. I don't hate them, with 'Whatever It Takes' being the least palatable and the electronic 'Stompbox' (that reminds me of songs that used to be on old racing video games) being the most likeable non-hip hop song. The hip hop, my preferred genre, is not an amazing collection of songs, but I enjoy them aside from 'Shut Up' and the Swizz Beatz 'Move Right Now'. The only R&B song here is Jamie Foxx's closer, 'Any Given Sunday (Outro)'.
Like most soundtracks, this is a mixed bag, but it has more good moments than songs I dislike.
Best Tracks: Never Goin' Back, Sole Sunday, Shit 'Em Down, Any Given Sunday, Stompbox
This 'SUPER ALBUM' features some of Patrice's best songs rerecorded and backed by slightly different instrumentation. They are different enough to feel fresh, but not different enough that means you won't like them if you're a fan of the originals. Apart from not loving all of the songs, the only negative is that at times the vocals aren't the same quality of the originals.
Best Tracks: Soulstorm, Change Today, Sunshine, Burning Bridges, Cry Cry Cry, The Maker, You Always You
