4.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking Lyricism...Droppin The Club 4 Da Farm!, February 29, 2004

This review is from: Deliverance (Audio CD)

Bubba sparxxx is a very unique rapper. Yes he's white. However, he is ten times better than the other commercial trash you hear today. He isn't a commercial sell-out, however, due to his previous clubbish joints with timbo, the Underground didn't really feel him. The verdict? Read on...

1. Intro
2. Jimmy Mathis (5/5) Nice production, great storytelling
3. Comin' Round (4.5/5) Street narratives with excellent beats
4. She Tried (5/5) Worthwhile, introspective love song.
5. Deliverance (5/5) Underground feeling, with catchy hook
6. Nowhere (6/5) My personal favourite, with great vocals and lyrics.
7. Warrant (interlude)
8. Warrant (5/5) Bubba mixes well with the Dungeon family. Nice snare-driven beat.
9. Take a Load Off (3.5/5) Nice lyrics, but no breakthrough production.
10. My Tone (4/5) Some filler lines, but some other great ones.
11. New South (4/5) I forget the lyrics, so it's getting a four for now.
12. Hootnanny f/ Justin Timberlake (3/5) Bubba makes this song fogivable. JT, GET OUTTA HERE!
13. Overcome (4/5)- Tight track, but breakthrough material fails.
14. Like it or Not (2/5) Album falls off. Clubbish and commercial pop/rap material.
15. Back in the Mudd (4/5) Return to introspection. Unfitting production loses points.
16. We Da Sh*t (4/5) a fitting braggadiocio track.

_____________________________________________________________

This album is very likely to be a slept on hit. Bubba offers a plate of southern goodness with some depressing, introspective and intelligent songs, and a few up-tempo bangers backed up by Timbaland's excellent production. Its interesting that the first half of the album is classic and the second half is above average, and the one bad song that is featured is easily skippable. One bad song and all good songs makes this as close to 5 stars as possible, but not quite. I highly recommend NOT sleeping on this new near-classic, cause it truly is unbelievable considering rap's commercial state.

Recommended: Yes

Great To Play While: Studying, Driving

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 stars, really, really good cd period., August 12, 2005

This review is from: Deliverance (Audio CD)

First off, Im from a chicago suburb so thats how good this cd is for me to give it this star rating. The rap around here compared to souther rap is like comparing apples and oranges. Im not that much of a fan for southern rap but bubba sparxx on deliverance exceeded all expectations. I havn't heard his first cd expect for ugly which I didnt really like to begin with. My friend picked up this cd and I was skeptical at first but this cd is so smooth and fresh it was probaly the the best cd I heard all year. This cd had everyting, good drinknig songs, good anthem songs, and good personal laid back chill songs. you can defineataly play the whole cd without skipping a song. My fav songs r jimmy mathis, comn round, nowhere, warrant and deliverance. This cd has no bad songs to skip through no joke. about 3 are ok but no bad ones. Bubba gives his all on this cd from his awesome party anthems to his deep, personal childhood songs, I dont know how his nxt cd can top this 1, his career best no doubt, pick up this cd no matter where you live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its a sad thing, September 2, 2004

Its sad to see that THIS white rapper just can't make it to the financial status of other pathetic rappers such as Lil' Jon, Master P, all those No Limit morons.......

What deliverance offers is an incredibly produced album by Timbaland(one of the greatest producers in the business)and a unique style that has never been heard before, unlike the repetitious beats that you hear from some of those terribly overrated rappers out there these days.................. I'm not from the south, but this album is fantastic! I hated Bubba Sparxxx albums before this one came out, i couldnt stand his music, but then i heard this album, and i was fascinated at how different it was compared to everyone else,,,, he is what the rap industry needs, a pioneer to take the industry to a new level, to "1 up" the next guy........ i think he did this, but however its sad that most Rap fans will never get a chance to listen to this great album.................. its a sad thing
