cant yall see that he's fake
the rap version of t.d. jakes
prophecises on ya cd's and tapes
wont break you a crumb off the little shit that he makes
and this is with whom you
wanna place your faith
i put dollers on mines,
ask columbine
when the twin towers dropped
i was the first one in line
donating proceeds off
of every ticket sold
when i was out on the road,
thats how you judge hov
no?,aint im supposed to be assure
of myself
everytime theres a tragedy
im the first one to help
they call me this mysogonist
but they dont call me the dude that take his dollars and give gifts at to the projects
these dudes is all politics
depositing checks
they put in they pocket,
all you get in return is alotta lip''

This is one of mt favourite tracks on the album. 5/5

Nigga Please - The beat is nice, but i aint feeling the rest, pharrell comes with a wack boring chorus. 1.5/5

2 Many Hoez - This beat is tight, nice flow, boring topic but its ight, itz that part shit! 2.5/5

As One - I think this is ight good beat uses sample from some old shit jay'z verse is nice. 3/5

Ballad For Fallen Soldier - Tight Track, spits nicley, talks about the streets time ago. just talks about life and whats going on. 3/5

Show You - Nice track its been on the net for quite a few months now so im sure yall heard it, nice beat. 3/5

Lyrics - 8/10

Overall - 8/10

I just gotta congradulate u on takin the time to review this big ass album.......Meet the Parents is a classic in my mind....... so thats my fav on this album.... the thing with this one was that he put out so many tracks that sum of em had to be not the greatest...... i think if he had put the best 15 or so songs on one album this one woulda been one of his bests also........but because of the wack tracks on it u find urself skippin around alot

"two shots into his kin outa the gun....niggas be a father ya killin ya son"

this album is dope,but the curse is better to me.

"...and ya'll buy this shit, caught up in tha hype
Cause the nigga wear a coofie, it don't mean that he bright
Cause you don't understand him, it don't mean that he nice
It just means you don't understand all the bullshit that he write
Is it "Oochie Wally Wally" or is it "One Mic"?
Is it "Black Girl Lost" or shorty owe you for ice?
I've been real all my life, they confuse it with conceit
Since I will not lose, they try to help him cheat
But I will not lose, for even in defeat
There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens it up for me
When the grass is cut, the snakes will show
I gotta thank the little homie Nas(long 'a' sound..lol) for that though
Saving me the hassle of speaking to half of these assholes
And I'ma let karma catch up to Jaz-O, whoa
I'm back before you had a chance to miss me
My mama can't save you this time, niggas is history
Who you know flow vicious as me?
Yet so religiously, that's why they call me Hov
I get the spoils cause the victor is me (me, nigga)
You're an actor, you're not who you're depicted to be
The street dreamin, all y'all niggas living through me
I gave you life when niggas was forgetting you emcee
I'm a legend, you should take a picture with me
You should be happy to be in my presence, I should charge you a fee
I'm Big Dog, Glenn Rob, listen God you a flea
And the little homey Jungle is a garden to me
What's the problem B? You not as hard as me
Nigga hard as we, nigga R O C, nigga
That's why they follow me, they feel my pain and my agony, nigga
I won't rest till you on one knee
You want war then it's war's gonna be, nigga
Until you on one knee, you want war then it's war's gonna be, nigga


yea ^ i was bored..but so what. this is my favorite cd from him. i liked it. meet tha parents was my fav tho, because it was deep and real. and its a story tellin song that makes so much since, and its real. but, i think u shouldve rated hovi baby higher than that, and alot of tracks, but, who cares. good shit. and good time. i finished my lyrics quicker. lol. lyrics.com. didnt feel like writin em.

^^^^the best song... is 2 many hoes.... love dat song...so dope

why are there so many double albums?
most of them can be shortened to one almost-perfect single cd

i totally disagree with your rating of this album, and the way u rated it, you can not rate tracks on scale of 1 to 5 and then rate on scale of 1 to 10 later, i was very appauled with your ratings on almost every track on disc 2 of the blueprint 2....you obviously did not listen thoroughly or you do not appreciate this album

yea, and the curse was hella better..... no doubt in that...

wtf

lol this herb gave HOVI BABY a bad rating

"they say a midget standing on a giants shoulder can see much further than the giant... so i got to whole rap world standing on my shoulder they tryin to see further than i am"

also.. its not "arent i supposed to be assure of myself"

its "aint i supposed to be absorbed in myself"

big deal amn if i ated it 2.5 out of 5 then its really 5/10 aint it...?????.....but ohhh well.......

^the jist of my comment was that your rating on this album were terrible, the main point wasnt wut scale u used, i was simply making a point about your scales

Again a nice review man..u do these good lol...but yeah I liked this one more than hte other cuz he kept it alive and made u want to listen to it more its a great cd with great beats...-PEACE
