AttenCHUN!.....this SUCKS!, August 19, 2003
Well, what do we have here? Bone Crusher...another athlete (in case you didn't know, Bone Crusher used to play line during college football...hence, where he was given his nickname-now-rap name "Bone Crusher") wannabe rapper. Though he had numerous albums before AttenCHUN!, his smash single "Never Scared" is what got his name on the map in the rap game. While "Never Scared" is considered by many to be an anthem of the streets, the hardcore airplay that joint received killed the momentum of his album-coming out party. Even though "Never Scared" grew infectious as a rowdy bump-a-thon for those subs in your ride, overall, his material has grown tiresome, as you will hear throughout the album. AttenCHUN! tries to live up to the standards of Lil' Jon and all those other cats who exemplify the "Kings of Crunk" image, but all in all, everything falls flat. Lets face it, Bone Crusher isn't a good lyricist at all and just about every track (if not all of them) on the album have featured guests, which take away from the spotlight of Bone Crusher...I mean, this is HIS album, right? It's almost as if Bone Crusher was only present to sing the hooks and chorus of every track rather than spit fire on the mic like he says he can do. Nonetheless, AttenCHUN! is nothing special to the so-called "hip hop game" we've got going on right now, as I promise this album will be overlooked and forgotten very soon. The only cuts I thought were decent was the single "Never Scared" and "Grippin' The Grain." Bone Crusher...you crushed my heart.

Great beats and songs, but lyrically, not strong enough..., July 5, 2003
At first I was going to give this CD 4.5 stars. However, I took more time out to listen to the CD, and I found that there were a couple of problems lyrically.
If You Have this Cd, you will constantly hear yells and shouts from Bone Crusher. Though it adds an unique flavour to the songs, it really annoyed me. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the album and recommend it to NE One who doesn't have it already.
My top six songs on this album are: Puttin in Work, Back Up, Lane to Lane, The Wall, Grippin The Grain and For the streets. Never Scared definetely keeps this CD crunk.
Overall, I think this CD is rowdy and a definete Dirty South worthy album. Bone Crusher could have definetely came out stronger lyrically, but I guess we can wait for next time for an improvement. One thing I don't get is that he is signed with So So Def. In league with BowWow? Nah, not even. If the rumours are untrue that Jermaine Dupri writes bowwow's lyrics, even Bowwow is better than Bone Crusher lyrically. However, the album is a great crunk addition to your collection. Make sure you go and get it now!
