This is the story of the demise of the Transplants.

I love the Transplants. For all of Rob Aston's shortcomings, he, Travis Barker and Tim Armstrong created a true gem when they released "Transplants" a few years back. Someone said that Transplants were trying to leech from the "success" of rap. No...it was just something Tim had been working on in his basement for years. Then they came out with "Haunted Cities," which as someone pointed out, was mediocre, but did have a few standouts.

Then along came The People's Champ. Idiot.

I don't even know how to start with this abortion of music. First of all, Paul Wall has zero talent. I could screw and chop any god damn song with my computer and none of the expensive equipment or gay ass teeth. You want proof? Go ahead and contact me.

Second of all, when you screw and chop something, it doesn't even come out good. I don't know why people enjoy these pieces of crap, because it's not even good on rap. It's not like Paul Wall can't do rock, he can't do rap. All he does is SLOW IT DOWN (And I don't know why that makes it sound good, because it makes it boring and the singers/rappers sound like retards) and then he takes one little bit, CUTS it, and re-inserts it to fit the beat. And he does the same procedure for EVERY SONG. There's no variation or creativity involved. Oh, and on "What I Can't Describe" (Which is by far the worst track on the normal album) he repeats the same line three times. THREE TIMES.

And these songs should have never had that treatment. This CD is for people who like dying a little inside every time they listen to an album. I hope that Tim had nothing to do with this (he was never mentioned in any interviews or anything). However, if you enjoy brain damage, Travis and Rob are starting a group with Paul Wall called Expensive Taste.

DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM. PICK UP "THE TRANSPLANTS," THEIR DEBUT.

R.I.P. Transplants. This was the nail in your coffin.

Come on... how can you not love this? It seems like some of the rock fans here just aren't getting down with the "screwed & chopped" thing. I mean, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WASTED ON PRESCRIPTION COUGH SYRUP WHILE LISTENING TO THIS. Of course it doesn't take that much skill to do this to an album, but if you're honestly as drunk as you're supposed to be while listening to this, you shouldn't care. Mowing the lawn doesn't take much skill either, but hey, the grass looks better that way.

The People's Champ just wants you to get slizzard and listen to "the first rock album ever to be screwed and chopped". That's really funny. And stupid. Why so much hate? I was rocking to this, sober even.

I was a fan of "Haunted Cities" for a while until I heard this. Seriously, it's not worth your money. You can get the exact same effect as on this album by opening up Sound Recorder in Windows and hitting "Decrease speed", I kid you not. There's nothing new or exciting about this, except that the album is a bit longer because every song is slowed down. I'd recommend the original "Haunted Cities", I guess, but I wouldn't even GIVE this chopped and screwed album to someone.
