This must be the week for thugs getting right with God. Like Dirty South godfather Scarface (who shows up here on "Gangsta"), Trick Daddy does indeed take a holiday of sorts from thuggery on his latest release. He once again enlists a children's choir, a la past tunes "I'm A Thug" and "Amerika," to ponder his blessings on the gospel-edged "God Been Good," and prays on the title track for gangstas not strong enough to make it in the streets, with an assist from Xscape's Latocha Scott. Yet while his tunes have come a long way from the tuneless Miami shout-outs of yore--the soulful single "In Da Wind," featuring a scene-stealing cameo from Cee-Lo, being a prime example--Thug Holiday still falls back on lyrical and musical cliches a bit too often to make it stand out in the increasingly inventive southern hip-hop landscape.

Most people are just now catchin on to this dude, but hes been around for awhile now. i got every one of his CD's, and theyre all bad. Most people who review this would say ohh dang this CD is good, but they dont know anything. If you like Trick ad Scarface, youll like this CD. All his beats are tight like usual, and his lyrics are all real unlike 80% of other rappers. If you like down south stuff this is a CD to get. Most people who listen to Trick Daddy have only been listening to him since Thugs R Us or Chapter AK Verse 47. But for those who knew him back when his name was trick daddy dollars, you know his style will never change. He hasnt become a half R&B rapper like Ja Rule, Nelly, or others and his music will always be hard. Get this CD if you know anything about Southern music.

While I'm not a real big Trick Daddy fan, I went ahead and bought this album for the single "In Da Wind". I can't say this is bad, but I can't say this is good either. Songs like "Ain't No Santa", "All I Need", and "Thug Holiday" are nice stand out songs, but the album in general is worth passing. Don't get me wrong, if your a big Trick Daddy fan then you'll probably love it. But this record just doesn't work for me.

I like this CD, Ive had it for over a year now, and i listen to it all the time. The best songs are all i need, dro in da wind, aint no santa,money and drugs, and play no games. This is a good CD, and i will definetly get his next one that is comng out soon.

I've always been a supporter of Trick Daddy even though I don't buy alot of his records. I think besides Outkast he's the most unique in the South right now. On the title track, TD talks politics and as you can see in the video, he talks about 2Pac and Biggie's beef when he says("oh no there's more, yeah two world wars"). I didn't know he was talking bout the East/West beef when I first heard it but after I saw the video I realized he was. Another favorite of mine is "Rain It Pours", a good hood song. The party tracks are a good listen to. "In Da Wind", "I'm A Thug", and "Play No Games" are all tight songs, but one of my favorites is "Ain't No Santa". The reason I gave this album a four is cuz there is a little filler on this. But if you skip past those songs, you get a good hood album and one of Trick's best.
