- UNbelievable...I am from the South, and I must say this is pure garbage. Now, the beats are super bumping, but the lyrics are as weak as water. This is a prime example of anyone can get a deal. I know some budding rappers, male and female, that will kill Yung Joc with sixteen bars. This album is just utter GARBAGE!!!!

Eenie Meenie Miney Moe
Yung Joc is lame and he can't flow
I know you see it, I know you see it
Acka Backa Soda Cracka
I can chew up Young Joc
And spit him out like tobacka
I know you see it, I know you see it
Ink Ink Yung Joc's flows really stink
I'd rather listen to the new album by Pink
I know you see it, I know you see it
Bubble Gum Bubble Gum In The Dish
I've listened to this album and it sounds like ****
I know you see it, I know you see it

- hes the reason why the south has no lyricistif your the new generation of kids and buy in garbage with weak lyrics on the radio, go gets this youll probably like it, this album reminds me of jeezys album, great production, awfule lyrics. only reason why this guy is on the top cuz
1. hes from the south, and we know in this generation the south is the biggest market in rap
2. his single its goin down has a great hook to it with simple lyrics
3. people are stupid
ive actually heard the album and i didnt like it, see at least with jeezy's album he was rapping, but there are times when this rapper isnt even rapping. hes just saying the same words over and over like if i were to go "yea i got guns, you cant stop me, ima shoot you, dont come to my block" his style reminds me of T.I. but without the lyricism. Yung Joc, D4L, Dem Francize Boys, Young Jeezy, are the reasons why everyone says the south cant rap. stick with great lyricist like T.I.,Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, and Scarface.
seriously i dont know who would win in a battle with this guy. he barely raps in his songs, and we all know Diddy's just trying to make a quick buck, we all know that, thats why he put this out in this generation

- "You Might Have Fooled The Rest, But You Can't Fool Me"Let's face it. Our culture has made a mockery of itself. Hip hop has been replaced by greed, glamourz, and glitz. Dollar signs have taken place over blood, sweat, and talent. If this were 1992 Yo! MTV raps would not play Yung Jocs record, he would receive no mic checks in the source, and his record would thankfully fly under the radar. But this is not 1992. This is the "Bling Era" of 2006 and label reps are roaming the streets to find someone who sounds just as clone-ish as the next man. Hooray for hip-pop.
True, people are sick and tired of reviewers who moans and groans. But there is too much music out there that makes us grow bitter towards raps direction. We're being cheated and we deserve better. I remember when going to the clubs was special. "The Choice Is Yours;" "DWYCK;" "They Want EFX;" "Hip Hop Junkies;" and "Rampage;" were singles that made you get funkier than underarms at a sly stone concert. Today we get, "It's Goin' Down," which is catchy, but the lyrics are so monotonous and predictable that it puts you to sleep. The song is accompanied by a dance that only mad people do. It reminds me of Damon Wayans character, "The Gread Adventures of Handi-Man," from his In Living Color Days when he's retardedly flying through the sky, fists clenched in the air with a quirky grimace on his face. By the way, What a TERRIBLE host at the BET Awards. On the song "It's Him," Yung Joc describes himself as a pimp, hustler, drug dealer, and killer. How cliche is that?
Honestly, there are a handful of artists I love from the south that brought a conscious, spiritual, and artistic expression to hip hop. Groups such as The Geto Boys, Outkast, Goodie Mob, Little Brother, and the Cunninlynguists are too few and too far between in our mainstream culture. But Joc's album takes no risks, is far too easy to follow, and his flow is too droning. It does have it's moments like on the radio friendly, "I Know You See It," but that is about it. His attempts at social commentary is commendable but underwhelming on "Picture Perfect." Since Diddy touched it, people will buy into it because Diddy is one hell of a business man. I just don't understand how he is a celebrity for not putting out anything seminal, since his days working with Biggie. Go figure. New Joc City is worth one listen, maybe...but there are bigger and better hip hop records out there.

- A Riposte on the Perfect "Soundtrack to Hell"For many millenia now, music reviewers, industry experts and armchair critics have pondered on the ultimate question regarding the afterlife and beyond - What IS, the Soundtrack to Hell?
Many people mistakenly believe that heavy metal is the Soundtrack to Hell, BUT. Heavy metal is good. The folks in heaven love it, the folks in hell love it. God loves heavy metal.
So. What is the Soundtrack to Hell? God loves good hip-hop and rap. But drum machine beats? Uninspired lyrics? Simplistic verses? Billboard Top 40? Hell yeah! (Pun fully intended)
You ain't got nothing on MCs like Gift of Gab or Rakim, dawg. This album is everything Satan could want, and more! A choice bet for the CD Players in Hell!
