This is definitely Chingy's best album since his debut album and is as good if not better than that one. The only issue I have is that is only has 12 actual tracks (+2 skits).
1. Intro
2. 9/10 Probably Chingy's hardest song to date. He actually has some decent lyrics in this song and the beat is bangin.
3. 7/10 Decent song and a song with kickin bass. Not a bad song but not a great one either. Definitely listenable though.
4. 6/10 Reminds me of the song One Call Away. Not a memorable song but decent for the ladies I guess.
5. 9/10 Sick beat on this track! One of the better songs on the CD and probably gonna be a club banger.
6. 7/10 Kind of a catchy song. Not one of my favorites but any song with Luda is listenable.
7. 10/10(Verses) 6/10(Hook) I give this song 2 ratings because the beat for the verses are hot and will def be bumpin in the clubs but the chorus is very repetitive and kind of annoying after a while. Luckily there are 3 verses, too bad the hook wasn't as hot as them.
8. Skit
9. 8.5/10 I'm not a big fan of trey songz but this song is a good song. Catchy beat with a decent hook and verses makes an above average song.
10. 9.5/10 Another club banger with another sick beat.
11. 7/10 A tribute to the women in Chingy's life. Decent beat but the "lovely ladies" in the background gets kind of annoying.
12. 7.5/10 Really the only "slow" song on the CD but is not bad at all. A nice change up to all the bangers and a real chill track.
13. 8.5/10 The first single to the CD. The hook is average as its only "Roll On Em Roll" over and over but the verses are tight and nice collabo with Rick Ross. Nice beat too.
14. 10/10 Probably my favorite track of the CD and a song that makes this CD end with a bang. Another hot beat by Ghost Writers and decent lyrics from Chingy.
Overall 8.5/10
As you can see if you are looking for a CD to bump some bass and get hype this is definitely that CD. One of the better club banger CD's this year. The production is great and Chingy actually adds to it with decent lyrics which surprised me (don't get me wrong there are some very average lyrics on this CD but not bad for Chingy). I wish Luda was on here more after Chingy signed back with DTP and a couple more songs wouldn't have hurt but overall a good CD. The title says it all though, you will either hate it or love it and I love it.
When I first heard the news that Chingy was back in the fold with
and
, I was genuinely happy that he came to his senses and realized that he needed them in order to have a chance at relevancy in Hip-Hop. Then I heard "Fly Like Me." Sure, he has Amerie on the track to lighten up the mood, but Chingy's lyrics and the production was suddenly suspect. Then I heard the rest of the songs on Hate It Or Love It. And I can easily tell you that nobody's gonna love this one. The beat for the title track sounds like
's 13-year-old nephew recorded it on the Korg Triton Extreme 61 Music Synthesizer Keyboard that his uncle bought him for his birthday. Sound ridiculous? So does Chingy on this album. He resorts to the voice of a 70's pimp for his verses on "Check My Swag." "Kick Drum" has to be the second song recorded by Swizz Beatz's nephew with his first of many songwriting credits as evidenced by Chingy's kindergarten rap lyrics. Even Ludacris and
can't save this sinking ship with their assistance on "Gimme Dat," with even more perplexing chords and downright annoying licks from Chingy. Things go from bad to worst on "All Aboard" featuring Steph Jones, a song that sounds like a jumbled mess to say the least.
collected an easy paycheck for "Spend Some $," especially since his chorus is about the only good thing about the track. Chingy tries his hand at the 'hyphy' sound with "2 Kool 2 Dance," oddly one of the only decent offerings on the entire project. Once again, the beat and chorus do more harm than good on the otherwise okay track "Lovely Ladies." "How We Feel" is the album standout, all thanks to R&B soul singer
providing a decent chorus (an obvious rarity on this album!). "Roll On 'Em" is a hard-hitting cut featuring
that holds its own, while "Blockstar" closes out the album on a horrible note...rather....a couple of horrible musical notes. Despite having major industry help from both the Hip-Hop and R&B world, Hate It Or Love It ultimately turned out to be an ill-fated project that suffered from preposterous production and moronic lyrics by Chingy. And to think...he originally left DTP because he thought he would be better off!
chingy is a chump the biggest punk in rap he dissed nelly and dtp then runs back to luda makes another flop cd man chingy is crappy with or without dtp another sorry clown who needs to quit rap his time was when his debut album dropped this clowb needs to kill himself he gives st. louis a bad name.
I didnt write here to knock chingy cause i dont like him that much, but i did want to pub lupe fiasco now that cd is fire!!! Hot Fire!!!!
I'm gonna be the first to admit after Jackpot, Powerballin and Hoodstar were just average. Hate It Or Love It is by far the best album Chingy has put out. The skits are whack, but who listens to skits anyways? The one song that stands out to me is most definately Hate It Or Love It. Its a song to all his haters tellin them he back and he aint goin nowherre. This album is full of club bangers. I LOVE IT. But there will be haters. Hence Hate It Or Love It
