Editorial Reviews

Whats the obvious fact that most of us can agree on? Jim Jones cant rap plus he sounds like he is doing his worst Scarface impression. Sure songs like So Harlem, Bright Lights, Reppin Time, Pin The Tail, Get It Poppin(Jha Jha SUCKS), We Fly High and Weatherman(Lil Wayne's verse was alright) have great production, but Jim Jones's lyrics leave something to be desired. Plus whats with all the joints featuring Max B on the hook? Max B is on EVERY OTHER SONG! Dude sounds like he swallowed a rooster. If the first two albums from Jim Jones were bad then this one being bad should be of no surprise. One last note: what is Jigga thinking paying this much attention to Jim Jones? Is he trying to give Jim Jones' career an unwarranted boost? Nobodies in the rap game starting beef with giants is a gimmick that 50 cent used until he was rich! If Jay-z is not going to use his brains then maybe he needs to retire.

It's simply amazing that someone like Jim Jones has a rap cd. He doesn't rap. He just talks, no rhythm. And he says the same things on every song. Blackberry, new sneaker. Beepers. We take chances. 3 day stays at atlantis? He says absolutely NOTHING.
I felt compelled to listen to this because with all the hype this cd got, and from the ridiculously horrible single "we fly high", i thought maybe the cd itself was a lot better than the single. But no, the single is probably the best song on this cd. And that says a LOT because that song is horrible. I'm embarrased to say that I've even heard this cd.
Camron is the best rapper from dipset and he's... not.... good.
I guess when you have a lot of money to waste you can pay radio stations to play your songs and get your name out until enough little kids bandwagon on and start producing profit for your company. But really it wouldn't hurt dipset to get an actual "quality" rapper on their team.
Jim Jones is just another example of a studio gangster and industry produced. Without the initial capital, this guy is nothing. He'd get boo'ed off of most stages in any city's $10 entrance club.
I've seen 6th graders with more talent than all of dipset combined.

I've heard the best way to write a review is try (which is hard with this album) to "image" the product in question. Well here's an image. Take Juelz Santana's album. Minus the flow and beats, but keep the dipset image. Now add a member of D4L and some homeless dude named Max B., and
a s---load of repetitive beats, and you'll likely come up with Harlem rapper Jim Jones's latest album Hustler's (P.O.M.E.). Now, I don't want to go into this bashing because I do in fact find the current single "We Fly High" very catchy. Isn't that funny, I found "Laffy Taffy" catchy too.
Really, there is nothing special about this album, and to add on there's nothing even average let alone above average on this album than the lead single. Actually, this album sounds like there's no dead-end, like you're listening to "We Fly High" for a whole hour (someone mentioned that and I agree 100%). But there's also iTunes, can't you download that and play it 20 times too? (But the real gangstas will prefer LimeWire)
"So Harlem" sounds nothing more than a remixed version of "We Fly High" with a repetitive looping production and with reversed lyrics, and yes, the overused shouting of "Ballin!" is still avaliable so if you still wish to continue to destroy your ears with that go ahead. I'm not sure who Max B is, but he has the flow of a watered down 50 Cent (how wacker can you get?), and why is he featured on almost half the disc? When "Bright Lights Big City" came on I SWEAR it was still the same song playing. The only thing that made me realize this is when Santana comes on with a decent flow and all the "Ballin!" stops for thirty seconds. Good grief. Now "Reppin' Time" has a decent production but still sounds too much like any other beat on this disc. And at this point I start to feel bad for my computer playing this mess. There's a chorus on this song, oh yes, if you consider "Reppin time, it's it's reppin time, BALLIN!, reppin time, MONEY IN THE BANK, it's it's reppin time, DIPSET!". Someone call in Ne-Yo, PLEASE! (Besides isn't "Money in the Bank" Lil' Scrappy's phrase?) "Pin the Tail" is the equivalent lyricism of "Wait (The Whisper Song)" and equivalent production of "There It Go" and "We Fly High". Add in Cam'ron, Santana (possibly the only decent collabration on the entire disc), and Max B and you get one screwed up song. "Get it Poppin'" at least doesn't sound productionwise as bad as the earlier tracks, though does that really compliment anything? And even worse when you add in two ladies who can't sing one note without dropping off and can rap as good as Britney Spears. Even when Jones tries to (also called the sad attempt of another demographic) act sensitive on "Love of My Life" he fails, going completely off-topic with executive productions and cars. What? "Weatherman" isn't worth mentioning other than the average addition of Lil' Wayne.
At that point, that's enough to give it only a star right then in there. I don't think songs called "Pour Wax" or "Freekey Zekey" would change my opinion. Jones offers absoutley NOTHING to the table other than possibly the worst reviewed album yet of 2007. He can't even top Mike Jones, who is just as annoying. If I could actually sum this up, go back to my formula. It sounds like the production of "We Fly High" played for a whole hour. Lyricism doesn't change nor does it improve, still the subjects of cars, money, and women, with "Ballin!", "Money in the Bank" and "Dipset!" scattered throughout. And weak collabrations from Max B., Jha Jha and Princess, and others can't improve this album one bit. One of the weakest albums in some years, and I've seen some weak ones. 5 stars!!!...no
