Hmmm...I Thought We Had An Album Review Section...
Anyway...Got A Bootleg, So Take Note That The Track Order IS Subject To Change...And Also, Some Songs May Not Make The Final Cut. According To Recent Interviews, The Album Is Due Out In Late May/Early June. Look Forward To Jae Hood's Debut "Tales From The Hood", Jadakiss' "Kiss My Ass", And Sheek Louch's Sophomore Effort "After Taxes."

STYLES PINERO - "TIME IS MONEY"
Artist Features: Sizzla, Talib Kweli, Floetry, Jagged Edge, Mario Winans, Bullet Blaze, Gotti, Straws, Rashad, Jae Hood, Jadakiss And Sheek Louch.
I'm Black (Ft. Floetry) - The 1st Single...This Will Be Getting Played On BET Only...For Obvious Reasons. Decent lines, nothing stellar...mainly uplifting to the black race. Song is basically summed up as Styles just rapping about the things he likes to do, and life as a Black individual. Floetry sounds good anytime they do a song...this one just gets a little bland after the first few times you hear it. But nonetheless, it would make good barbeque/summertime/family music. One of the only Styles tracks you can play for ya moms. All in all, this track is something 'niggas' can relate to...Literally, LOL.
Standout Bars: *The Hook*
Rating: 7.5/10
Kill That Faggot - Personally, One Of My Favorites...Above Average Beat...Dark Sounding Piano And Horns In The Chorus. I listen to this song when I'm either deeply frustrated, or after a homophobic encounter. (LOL) Styles just kills it on his usual violent/crazy shit. I'm lovin' this one. Bang this in the car...Bass line is bananas.
Standout Bars: 'Ghost' cause I'm outta this world.../ And I don't play...I'll blow the large intestines right, outta ya girl.// (What!)
Rating:9.5/10
Dem D-Block Boys - Weak ass instrumental...Decent bars...Styles is pretty decent on this, but the beat just throws the whole shit off...Beat does NOT -- I Repeat, DOES NOT -- Fit the subject matter. I Hope This Doesn't Make The Final Cut...'Nuff Said.
Standout Bars: M - I - L, Double "I" - O - N's.../ Got cash, can't trust some of My-Old-Friends.// Niggas ain't walk this path, in My-Old-Tims.../ Let me find out it's my lawn, that it's potholes in.// Cuz P ain't pasta noose.../ Smoke blunts like a Rasta, hold uzis in a mobster suit.//
Rating: 6.5/10
I Don't Give A Fuck (Ft. Sheek & Jadakiss) - Songs Like This Are The Reason Why The L.O.X. Should Put Out Another Album. (They Are, By The Way...i.e., "Live, Suffer, Celebrate"")This song is crack, from the jump...Crazy ass beat...Semi-Orchestral shit...I CAN NOT EXPLAIN THIS SONG, you MUST hear it for yourself...This shit is gonna bang HARD in New York. I don't mean to sound cliche', but this is that vintage hard ass gangsta shit...Jada kills it...Hell, even Sheek kills it! DOWNLOAD THIS NOW!
Standout Bars: Hustle hard, just to keep these streets locked.../ Bitch! I'm the D-Block gangsta, the one off Key Lock.// Ryde or Die nigga that'll let that heat pop.../ I go through walls...and y'all just sheet rock.//
Rating: HONESTLY...11/10
Mask Off (Ft. Straws) - This Is A Refreshing One... Straws is a nice ass new artist...definitely belongs on the Double R Roster...Nice beat, just some mellow type murda shit...They both have the same layout and structure to their verses, which makes this song (even though it really shoudn't) more creative. Straws starts it off proper, with lines like, "Yeah, you fuckin' wit a artist, nigga.../ One in the head, sixteen in the cartridge, nigga...//" While S.P. uses: "Yeah you fuckin' wit a cocky nigga./ Run up ya face like them steps on "Rocky", nigga...// And, you gon need a mask, like a hockey, nigga.// You might fuck wid everybody else, but not me, nigga.//" Track is fire before it even gets to Styles' verse...Truss me. Pretty decent hook. Say no more.
Standout Bars: -Styles- Cuz I hold up the paper, like thumbtacks.../ And I got a knife game, like Jigga. Retire and come back.//
Rating: 8.5/10
Switch My Style - Hopefully, This Song Will Make The Final Cut, According To P. As of now, it's a mixtape joint over the instrumental of Tweet's new single, "Turn Da Lights Off". This song is maaaaaaaaad nice...Peep how he spells out the words in the verses. Nice subject matter, I'm lovin' the flow...everything's nice hear...Just hope it makes the album, and that the beat he uses fits as good as this one.
Standout Bars: R-U - Double F, R - Y - D - E.../ D-B ...L-O-C-K, Till I D-E.// "I," in the middle......// I'm hopin' out the sunroof, so I'ma play the back seat. Ride in the middle.//
Rating: 9/10
For Every (Ft. Jae Hood) - "I Know Bitches With Ghonnerea, That'll Ride U Raw.../ Flick Out The Butterfly Switchblade, And Slice Ya Balls.//" <---The opening line, from Hood...When I heard that, I was like, "Eeeeeeeel, THIS nigga did not just say...." But it kept me immersed in the song, which has a very nice orchestral vox sample, scratches, and a bumpin' bass line...Another one that turns into gold without Holiday even touching it...Jae has the first two verses, while S.P.'s on the third. The hook is decent...Hope this makes the cut. 'Nuff said.
Standout Bars: *The Hook* And The Opening Bars.
Rating: 8/10
Ride Or Die (Ft. Bullet Blaze & Gotti) - Average, decent track...Possible Filler Material. Meh. The beat is crazy, Bullet Blaze is GARBAGE, but Styles Still manages to keep the song up to par with his previous tracks. Skippable.
Standout Bars: And, everybody know I'm a shooter,/ But I'mma changed man, rather play the low, and stay on the computer.//
Rating: 7/10 Just Cuz The Beat Is Nice.
So Good, So Right - Incredible Beat...Lovin' This Track... Samples and all, this song is something to chill to. S.P. basically talkin bout reasons to slow down, take care of his kids, chill out, etc. 'Nuff Said.
Standout Bars: I'm gone with the wind.../ I'ma hit the road, like I'm tour-in' again.// Pack my family up, put em all in da Benz.../ Got some phone calls, but I'm stallin my friends, I'll see 'em all in the end.// A mouth like Superfly...I get super high./ Might as well quit...while I got a lil' loot to ride.// Can't go to jail...the cells aint supersized./ Plus I'm stuck in hell, in a place where you shoot or die.//
Rating: 8.5/10
Where I'm From - Mixtape Joint...Pretty Decent. Guess what the songs about?...Very nice chorus sung by what sounds like Anthony Hamilton. Hope this one makes it too. Song done over a sped up instrumental of Usher's "Nice And Slow." D/L this. Hopefully it makes the cut, and he gets his own beat for this one.
Standout Bars: I ain't got time, to daydream.../ Reppin' my 'home'...holdin' the chrome. You da 'away' team.//
Rating: 8/10
The Hardest - ...Nice Ass Beat... It's basically what you've come to expect from P, as far as content and lyrical capability. Samples of old S.P. bars in the hook. Not really anything new, as far as subject matter...Decent though. Sorry, I'm at a loss for words from still listening to "I Don't Give A Fuck."
Standout Bars: *The Hook*
Rating: 8/10
The Future - You Absolutely Must D/L This! It's A Short Mixtape Joint, But Hopefully, He'll Lengthen It For The Final Cut. This is basically the Holiday Styles version of Jada's "Bring You Down," only better, and minus the gay ass singing hook. The beat was probably done by the same person, but I promise you'll love it...LoL, guaranteed or your money...well, you kno what I mean.
Standout Bars: Discipline...keep a hard head nigga listenin./ Louch told me fall back, play my position, and.// Niggas violate, they gon' find 'em where they fishin' in.//
Rating: 9.7/10 Too Short.
Ruff Ryder 4 Life (Ft. Sheek Louch & Jadakiss) - Basically A Carbon Copy Of "I Don't Give A Fuck" As Far As Content...But I Mean That In A Good Way. Nice unique beat...Definitley a banger...You'll love this one if you're a true fan...'Nuff said.
Standout Bars: I'm on my new shit.../ You ain't listening good, I'll pull out my hawk...use is as a Q-tip.// (AND) Here's my philosophy.../ I ain't really chillin', till I'm lookin' out the windows, seeing deers on the property.//
Rating: 9/10
Overall Rating: 9/10 Okay, He's No Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli, Or Mr. Big Words/Super Lyrical Ability, But For The Die-Hard D-Block/Double R Fans, This Can Be Qualified Definitely As S.P.'s Best...Grimey As Fuck...Truthful...And A Little More Introspective. Cop It, Cherish It, And Love It...I Left Out A Few Songs I Haven't Heard Yet, That WILL Be On The Album : 'Warning Shots' (The OFFICIAL 50 Cent Diss), 'Favorite Drug', 'First In Line' (Ft. Mario Winans) and 'Kick It Like That' (Ft. Jagged Edge). Be Sure To Get The REAL Album...Or I'll Fuckin' Kill You.
