1.0 out of 5 stars Scrappy man you let us down, February 3, 2007

First of all let me clearly state that im from Atlanta and I am a diehard fan of Lil Scrappy and that is why it breaks my heart to tell you that this CD is garbage. Besides Money in the Bank there are no other standout cuts and it is a shame because the underground mixtape he dropped with DJ Don Cannon early last year was on fire, He and Cannon delivered all new tracks and there were all on point, that was of course before 50's influence which brings us to our problem. The influence of Curtis Jackson A.K.A 50 Cent is very clear on this album. I like 50 but he knows little of the way we make records down south. If the G-Unit boss would have just stayed out he way and let Scrappy pick and choose his own tracks, verses etc. everything may have been fine. The guy is a control freak and as a result nobody in the "A" is pumping this and it is a shame because when Scrappy is on point the boy is unstoppable. This CD is garbage plain and simple and 50's influence is going to put the the crown prince of the south's career in serious jerpody unless he quickly wise's up. This is an honest review from a fan that has been down since day one.I have bought all the mixtapes and everything else he's dropped but, im telling you If you the consumer buy this Cd you will regret it and to Scrappy ditch the G Unit do what's in your heart and get back to business.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lil Scrappy - Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live, December 13, 2006

This review is from: Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live (Audio CD)

Lil Scrappy's (A.K.A. Darryl Kevin Richardson II) studio debut solo album is "Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live" (2006) a twenty track release which features geust appearances from Young Joc, Stayfresh, Young Buck, Young Dro, Bohagon, Lil Jon, Three 6 Mafia, Playboy, Lloyd Banks, Yo Gotti, Lil Chris, Nook, Olivia, 50 Cent, Sean P (1/2 of the Youngbloodz) and E-40. The albums singles are "Money In The Bank" feat. Young Buck and "Gangsta Gangsta". The real highlight of this album for me is the Jonathan Rotem produced "Livin in the Projects", a cut which samples 2Pac (on the chorus), and has Lil Scrappy reflecting on his days of being dirt poor and struggling to make it. Another current favorite of mine is the Lil Jon produced "Born 2 Live", feeling Scrappy's lyrics and the production to this hard hitting cut. The laidback and short "G-****" is a feel good track which features G-Unit's singer Olivia dropping some smooth vocals. Another standout for me has Scrappy teaming up with 50 Cent for "N**** What's Up". I am generally not a fan of crunk music and skip over a fair bit of this album, Lil Scrappy shows some diversity on this release though making "Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live" a decent release worth checking out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Someone Stole The Thunder {3 Stars}, December 12, 2006

This review is from: Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live (Clean) (Audio CD)

Short and simple, if Scrap ain't gettin' crunk, I really can't feel 'em. There are a few tracks where he comes across okay without crunk beats like "Money In The Bank" featuring Young Buck and "Living In The Projects." One of the standouts, in my opinion, is "Posted In The Club" featuring Three Six Mafia. I'm a huge fan of HCP and their production and it's tracks like this that Scrappy sounds best over. Then there are some rowdy joints like "Gangsta Gangsta" and "Been A Boss" featuring Bohagon & Young Dro (call me crazy, but I'm starting to take a liking to Young Dro) that remind you of the old Scrappy.

The problem here is the obscene amounts of skip material to be found on the album. "Get Right" and "N**** What's Up" are decent at best. You shouldn't listen to "Touching Everything" while operating heavy machinery. "I'm Back", "P**** Poppin'", "Baby Daddy", and "Born To Live" are just plain terrible. There are plenty of songs that fall under the same categories, but then I'd be here all day typing if I tried to list them all. Couple that with the fact that, like another reviewer said, there are times where Scrap sounds like T.I. That's not a good look at all.

Bred 2 Die, Born 2 Live isn't that great a follow up to his debut. While I won't call it a step backward, I'd definitely call it a side step. Hopefully he'll ditch G-Unit and get crunk again. G-Unit has a way of dragging new signees down (like Mobb Deep) and, even though they aren't all that prevalent on this CD, this CD seems to taking the same course. I recommend downloading this one and testing it out before you actually pay for it.

Standout Tracks: Been A Boss feat. Bohagon & Young Dro, Posted In The Club feat. Three Six Mafia (My Favorite), Living In The Projects, Money In The Bank [Remix] feat. Young Buck, and Gangsta Gangsta
