On the follow-up to I Got That Work, Cash Money Millionaires refugees Brian "Baby" Williams and Mannie Fresh put their mediocre rhyme talents to work, paying tribute to all the boyz in the hood who can still rock "gator boots with the pimped out Gucci suits" despite being poor ("Still Fly"). Huh? Cash Money's in-house producer, Fresh cooks up his usual supply of 808 drum-kick-heavy beats on "Hello" and "Oh Yeah" that sound as though they couldn't have taken more than a few minutes to hook up. But he's no sucker emcee or producer, and when he's at his best he's able to seamlessly fuse snappy techno beats with Parliament-style funk ("Get High"), which effectively sounds like something Outkast could have guested on. Sadly, the underwhelming rhymes on tracks like "Pimpin' Baby" (which finds the duo dully listing off their many high-cost accessories) nullifies Fresh's highly danceable rhythm constructions. When popular Southern DJ Greg Street's interlude promoting a Viagra-sponsored "I Can Still Get It Up Tour" contest is the album's high point, it's time to go back to the lab.
Condition:NEW! Minor storage wear on cover.
