ALRIGHT, WHAT IS BABY A.K.A. #1 STUNNA, AND NOW RIDICULOUSLY-SELF-DUBBED BIRDMAN THINKING? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO BACK WHEN CA$H MONEY RELIED ON ITS OWN ARTISTS? THE ONLY DECENT COLLABORATION IS WITH THE NEPTUNES. HONEST TO GOD, WHO WANTS TO LISTEN TO A SELF-PROCLAIMED "STUNNA" MAKING BIRD NOISES FOR AN ENTIRE ALBUM? I MUST GIVE PROPS TO JAZZE PHA THOUGH FOR EXCELLENT PRODUCTION. JAZZE PHA IS THE REASON "DO THAT" WILL BE APPRECIATED AS A SINGLE. I DON'T PREACH REAL HIP-HOP, BUT P. DIDDY AND BIRDMAN COMBINE TO DELIVER SOME OF THE MOST SENSELESS LINES I HAVE EVER HEARD. THE LYRICISM ON THIS ALBUM IS INCREDIBLY DULL. BABY NEEDS TO DROP THE WHOLE "BIRDMAN" CONCEPT AND REUNITE WITH MANNIE FRESH. CA$H MONEY NEEDS TO DISCOVER SOME NEW TALENT ON THEIR LABEL (NO PUN INTENDED LIL' WAYNE.) THEN MAYBE THEY WILL MAKE SOME LISTENABLE MUSIC.

Since 1996, Cash-Money has been the greatest rap lable of the south. With only to groups, the Hot Boys (BG, Juvenile, Turk, and Lil' Wayne) and the Big Tymers (Mannie Fresh and Baby) and one track producer (Mannie Fresh), Cash-Money succeeded in making nothing but quality hiphop. BG's 'All on U' volumes 1 and 2, 'Chopper City', 'Chopper City in the Ghetto', and 'Checkmate' are classics. Big Tymers 'How U Luv Dat' volumes 1 and 2 are classics. Juveniles 'Solja Rags', '400 Degreez', and 'Project English' are classics. Lil Wayne's 'Tha Block is Hot' and 'Lights Out' are classics. Both Hot Boys albums are classics. Turk's album is classic. Everything Cash-Money put out was straight fire, but now the empire is crumbling, and no one is left to rebuild.

Most of the core rap artists are gone. Juvenile and BG both left because they throught Cash-Money Records was cheating them, and Turk is in jail. To compensate, Cash-Money signed a long list of no-talent rappers, none of whom could ever replace the lost three. Even the rock of the lable, Mannie Fresh, knowing that his beats are wasted on the new rappers, is slowly fading himself out.

Baby, co-ceo of Cash-Money and half of the Big Tymers, relizing that his lable was on the verge of colapsing decided the only thing to do was become a solo artist, in an attempt to keep Cash-Money pockets fat. The results are a continuation of the story began on Lil' Wayne's last album '500 Degreez'. Poorly crafted songs about cars, jewley, and women are the central themes on this album. And with Mannie Fresh taking a back seat to overworked, cookie-cutter producers like P. Diddy and Jermaine Dupri, not even the usually good-to-excellent beats that saved previous sub-par albums, like Juvenile's 'G-Code,' are present to help with 'The Birdman.'

'The Birdman' is, beyond any shadow of a doubt, the worst ablum to be released by the Cash-Money record lable. And after '500 Degreez', seems to be the second step in the end of Cash-Money.

P.S.: Look for BG's next CD, 'Living Legend', on Chopper City Records. This CD promises to be just as good, if not better, than the classic CDs he put out when Cash-Money was in its prime.

ok...i bought this album..after readin all the bad reviews on this site..i really really liked "what happened to that boy"...so i bought it at a recycled music store for like $7.99 because i had some money to spend...bad idea..i listened to it on the way home and i thought it was a joke..i didnt know if the store had switched the cd or something because out of the 22 songs on there..i only liked 4 songs! plus none of the songs that i actually liked are really worth a lot of attention. the only good songs on here is #2- "looks like a job 4...", #10-"what happened to that boy", #12- "how it be" and the only reason that song is hot is cause TQ and JD are on it.. and #22- "keeps spinning"...and that is only because TQ, Petey Pablo, T.I. and Mannie are on it...but i knew this one was going to be a good song...but thats it...i laughed throughout the whole album because this guy raps about money and cars on EVERY SINGLE SONG!! it really made me laugh..heres some of his "intelligent" lyrics.."i get what i want and what i want i can have it, lexus, bentley, jags nothin average, never got married but im lovin miss lavish,lovin miss birdlady in that caddy!"...that goes on throughout the whole song and album...and that is one of the songs that i actually like..that was from #2!.....this has got to be a joke...i really hope fast money is better than this because i know that birdman can do wayyy better than this because mannie knows talent and if mannie works with him...he must be hott...he just has to dig down deeper to find where his talent is..but if "fast money" is'nt very good...then he should try to find some better lyracists because he really is a good rapper oh well better luck next time Baby...go out and get mannies new cd" the mind of mannie fresh" because it has got a lot of great beats and a lot of good lyrics...none of this garbage of an album...

Listening to this album is only advised for poets and scholars. The lyrics are as mysterious and invigorating as looking at a Rembrandt painting for the first time.

On this album, Birdman AKA Stunna asks us the age-old question "What Happened To That Boy?"
When he does his patented "Bird Call," it is a revelation..a true emotional awakening to hear.

Another tune: "Hustlas, Pimps and Thugs" will soothe the senses and give you meaning to your life.

Birdman is the new Bob Dylan, and on this album Birdman and crew take us to a new plateau..one that we could only imagine until now.

This album went to show me, never judge a book by it's cover. The cover looked great but on the inside, pure garbage. Without Turk, Juvinile and B.G., cash money is suverly strugling to produce good songs anymore. And Birdman, anin't that a comic book hero or somethin? Well Baby, u sure as hell ain't any kind of hero to hip-hop, ur a discrace with this garbage. Cash Money has been strugling so much, they reliy solo projects from a fool who think he can acualluy diss someone, Lil Wayne, and someone who thinks he's so big, baby. Baby can't rap, cuz everything is sensless, and stupid, and puttin P.Diddy in ur song, makes it twice as worst. And the birdcall, I swear to god, I have herd stupid sensless stuff, but not as dumb as this, or have I? Well I'm not sure. Well sooner or later, cash money is gonna collapse, and the Big Tymers will be the old-timers, and Baby aka the #1 stunna will be back to hustling the street; and son't think manny Fresh is gonna come thru 4 them. And word to cash money, quit and retire while ur still rich, cuz u can't carry ur own burden; the ones who left were the only ones who could. Sad

This is a sick cd, no one can touch the birdman. Nuff said..

What is there to say bout the Birdman's album? Well...I don't really know where to start...We'll start with this...I'm not expecting him to be good, but I definitely didn't anticipate it to be AS BAD AS IT IS. He says the same thing in almost every song....At least on the Big Tymers album Mannie Fresh' comical quips and stellar beats offset Baby's horrible lyrics. It is a different story here though. Baby's raps nearly ruin Fresh and Pha's beats; every guest rapper outshines him; the album is too long; there are too many guest stars, and the thing that DESTROYS THE ALBUM is the insertion of about 5 or 6 POINTLESS SKITS!...

On 'Say It Ain't So' Keith Murray ...proclaims "I'm like a lifeguard on a beat, when niccas try to rap, I come through and SAVE THE TRACK". And that's precisely the message. ... I know he most likely just raps for fun but still...it's just funny. I haven't heard rhymes this bad since that guy from Full Force tried to rap on HOuse Party 2...

Save for 'What Happened To That Boy' feat. Clipse where Pusha T drops an amazing verse ( "uhhh another soul lost, had to make his shirt match my ox blood colored Porsche...uhhhh the rims match of course, blood hit his timbs it reminded me of them"), Baby Can You Do It feat. Toni Braxton, Do That, and the aforementioned Say It Ain't So, this album is not worth your time...not even to burn from a friend. ... My 2 cents...keep living.

This is the Wackest CD I've bought this year....And I buy a lot of them..The Birdman has got to go. All that Squawking going on, and enough about your money..WE ALL KNOW YOU GOT MONEY OR YOU WOULNDN'T HAVE A CD OUT. Tell us a story be original..But not Birdman Original. I couldn't even get through this Whole CD...I tried to sell it for 5 dollars and couldn't get it sold. I'll be trading it in as soon as possible...He needs to stick with Mannie and have someone tell him when the beat is wack

As much as it PAINS me to talk down on this album, I'm left with no other option. I TRIED to like this album and give Baby (aka #1 Stunna) the benefit on the doubt, but it just wasn't happening. The "22 Track" album is filled with a bunch of non-sense skits (5 of them if I remember correctly), and a bunch of wack filler. The only cut I liked from this record was the collabo with Clipse on the Neptune's-produced "What Happened to That Boy." "Do That" featuring P. Diddy was a decent track but it only sounds good in the clubs...other than that, the rest of the album just doesn't "fly" with me. Yo Baby, stick with your crew dogg...you suck on your own.
