2.0 out of 5 stars B.G. Champion? Not this round., September 4, 2008

This review is from: Champion (Audio CD)

I am one of few to admit that I thought B.G. was, if not the nicest, one of the nicest out of the original Hot Boy clique, budding with potential, and a swagger that was infectious to listeners. Listening to this album, there's no doubt, the swagger is gone. I guess that's what heroine will do to you. To its credit, this album is truly a reflection of a gritty lifestyle, and I get the impression that what B.G. talks, B.G. lives, unlike the 99.7% of rappers dropping albums(other former hot boys included). I was longing for the nostalgia, the days of snapping hi-hats and nolia claps, but alas, those days are gone, and have given way to the dramatic orchestral horns and strings permeating gangsta rap tracks nowadays, which works for Jeezy, T.I, and sometimes Shawty Lo, but just sounds so generic when B.G. got his cut. Overall, I'd give this album a 2 of 5. It hits fairly nice on my woofers, otherwise, it's definitely an album to skip. I'm still in your corner though, B.G.
