    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 3.0

    An ok debut

    J-Kwon has talent but this album doesn't show much. If any it shows J-kwon's rhyming ability and his ability to come up with explicit lyrics. The four standout tracks on this cd are Tipsy, Hood Hop, Welcome to the Hood, and They ask me. The edited version seems a little to edited because a lot of minor references that don't really need to be edited such as car jack and just the word jack are edited. Overall an ok cd in its genre

    OK stuff

    The guy is brand new, he's only 17. He uses a lot of bad stuff for a teen though.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 1.0

    I thought he was a rookie when I heard his music

    The first time I heard his album I thought that he didn't know how to rap. If you check out the song "Tipsy", that tells you everything, but the choruses are cool enough - I would get his cd even though I already have it.
