5.0 out of 5 stars Trick's best album: True Story, June 18, 2007

By 

Nuisance "the rebel" (Miami) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Based on a True Story (Audio CD)

Trick Daddy was at his best when he first came out. No disrespect to his later releases but this one was when he was making songs with a purpose and not making songs that make no sense(think Sugar). The album starts off with Based On A True Story(part 1) where Trick recalls what his brother's last moment living must have been like before he was gunned down(Rip Hollywood) and it leads off into part 2 of Based On A True Story where he tells of how he coped with the news of his fallen brother. Buddy Roe, Trick's best friend, makes a lot of apearances on here but he is actually pretty good and it shows on tracks like Bout A Lotta Thangs, Kill-A-Head, Going Down Like That etc. Jamal of Def Squad fame joins Trick and Buddy Roe on Snowin In Miami and Jt Money makes two appearances on here with Smoke Out and Pimp. Trick Daddy lets Buddy Roe get his chance to shine on I Got Plans and he did a good job. The only track I couldnt stand is the grotesque I'll Be Your Player. There is a reason why they call him "the freakiest freak of all freaks" and that song explains it a little too vividly. Trick ends the album with Verb in a song that starts of with the two of them talking about some nasty broads and ends up in a diss fest where the both of them diss the pants off Luke and for those of you who didnt know, that song is called Gone With Your Bad Self. Bottom Line: Trick Daddy's Based On A True Story was a classic. Trick not only poured out his heart and soul into this album, he also had fun(which is something a lot of rappers have a hard time doing today). Standout Tracks: BASED ON A TRUE STORY(parts 1&2), OH ME OH MY, BOUT A LOTTA THANGS, THEY DONT LIVE LONG, KILL-A-HEAD, GOIN DOWN LIKE THAT, SNOWIN IN MIAMI, I GOT PLANS, HO BUT YOU CANT HELP IT and GONE WITH YOUR BAD SELF.

4.0 out of 5 stars STILL TRICK'S BEST ALBUM!, May 26, 2004

By 

MICHAEL TAYLOR "SNAKEFIST2" (RICHMOND, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Based on a True Story (Audio CD)

TRICK DADDY'S DEBUT ALBUM IS STILL HIS BEST. I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS. ALL HIS BEST STUFF IS ON HERE, LIKE ''KILL
AHEAD'' [WHICH IS THE BEST TRACK ON THE WHOLE CD], ''PIMP'', BOTH OF THE TITLE TRACKS, ''GOIN DOWN LIKE THAT'', AND DEFINITELY ''HO BUT YOU CAN'T HELP IT''. WITH HIS 2PAC-LIKE FLOW AND SOME BUMPIN BEATS, TRICK DADDY IS AT HIS BEST ON THIS ALBUM. A DEFINITE MUST-HAVE FOR ALL TRICK DADDY FANS.

5.0 out of 5 stars oh me oh my oh lord! - its a good thing, April 10, 2003

"theefoxxx" (new jerz) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Based on a True Story (Audio CD)

debuting with his 1997 release "based..." trick daddy sure knew how to make hits. this album is way too catchy from the hottest beats to the great lyrics. trick opens the album with a reflection of the [end of life] of his brother, which occurred a few years prior to this release (based on a true story 1&2 and oh me oh my). then, trick flips the script by getting into the flossy side of rap (now they wanna holla, bout alotta thangs). next he delves into crime life (killahead and goin down like that). frankly trick goes back and forth between these three themes but hey that's what a thug's about right?! his thug lyrics are hot and bumpin. he also added some flavor by throwing jamal and jt money ... on here. to end the album it didn't hurt by teaming up with verb for the "go'n with yo bad self". this is a hot album ...
