3.0 out of 5 stars It's Okay...Just Okay, March 29, 2007

The second album from Crime Mob has no memerable moments on the album but it definitely has some crunk to it. The lead single "Rock Yo Hips" is a decent track but nothing here seems to top their most known single "Knuck If You Buck" but its a decent single and the video is alright. The female emcee's Diamond and Princess standout more on the album than the guys on "2nd Look", and on "Circles". It's not a horrible album but its not the best. The two females should go solo maybe they'll sell more.

Like most people, I first heard of Crime Mob back in 2004 when they dropped "Knuck If You Buck". Because the song didn't really sound much different than anything else out there, I didn't check for their self-titled album. But now they came back with Hated on Mostly, and if you're wondering WHY they're hated on mostly, I'll tell you straight out: because they're wack.

Actually, the first three songs are okay, but as for "Rock Yo Hips", the only parts I can stand are the guys' verses because, sorry, Diamond and Princess just can't rap. In fact, they're so bad that they make Shawnna look like MC Lyte. This is especially evident in songs like "All-Madden" and the obligatory screwed song, "Shine `Cause I Grind".

Another song that proves this is the overrated "2nd Look". Speaking of that, several of the songs also have uncreative, repetitive choruses, like "Go to War" (with Pimp C), "Sign in the Air", "We Some Playaz" and "Wuz Up" (featuring some D4L members). And even when the Mob try for a slower, more romantic tune, they fall flat (see "Circles").

It looks like I'm in the minority when I say that the men are better rappers than the women (that really isn't saying much, though), but even then they don't have much to say. To be honest, it should almost be a crime to make music that's this uninteresting (2-1/2 stars is being nice), so leave Hated on Mostly alone.

I don't know why I continue to do it to myself. I'm not a fan of Crime Mob, but thanks to my monthly subscription on a website I can download music legally, I am able to test out music before I spend my hard earned money on this album. Crime Mob had a nice crunk song "Knuck If You Buck" back in '04, and I did like that song. This album's lead single "Rock Yo Hips" is not good. Every house party and every event I go to, there is a 100% chance that song is going to play. That is the only reason why I like that song, because of the fact that I hear it so many times, that I begin to like it, unintentionally. The obvious thing that wrecks this album is horrible lyrics. Some say that it's intended for crunk music, but I hardly ever see anything else out side of that circle. "2nd Look" is decent because of the females (Diamond and Princess) are on it by themselves. I always thought that they were better than the guys in my opinon. The production on here is less than decent. There are some bumping beats on here that I liked, but it wasn't enough to hold my attention.

This CD is easily fogettable in my opinion. It's not really fair that this mostly represents Atlanta. There are much better acts from here, that hardly will ever get noticed, because we have been stereotyped for putting out inconsistant club music. This CD is good for rocking house parties, and probably nothing else.

By the way, they're from Ellenwood, Ga. Thats not even inside of I-285.
