Editorial Reviews

Fusing underground grit with mainstream accessibility, I Need Mine ,Lil' Flip's first album for Asylum/ Warner Bros., follows 2004's platinum smash U Gotta Feel Me (#4 Pop/#2 Hip- Hop). Filled with club bangers and street anthems produced by some of the hottest names in hip-hop, including The Synphony who authored U Gotta Feel Me's digital gold, #2 Pop/Rap/Hip- Hop Sunshine, BMI's Urban Awards Most Performed Song of 2004 I Need Mine is the flipside of hip-hop. This is the 2 CD explicit limited edition version.

2.0 out of 5 stars Flip the bird, October 25, 2007

Truth be told, I have never been much of a Lil' Flip fan other than "Game Over". But I still decided to give his latest album I Need Mine a try. This album was actually supposed to be released back in 2005 but his label shelved it, and it's easy to see why.

If you're planning on listening to this album, make sure you don't have much to do for the rest of the day because it's hard to sit through. And it's not because most of the things that Flip has to say are uninspired; it's also because now he added on another whole album's worth of material on here, thus resulting in the whole thing clocking in at almost 2-1/2 hours. In addition, there are two remixes of remixes on here ("Fly Boy" and "You'z a Trick"), and the only saving grace to either of them is UGK's appearance on the second "You'z a Trick".

And Flip usually uses the same subject matter: either shooting people up or bragging about his success -- oh, and an obligatory song for the ladies (see the Mya-assisted "Flippin'", which features a sample probably best remembered from Heavy D and the Boyz' "Nuttin' But Love"). Speaking of that, though, guest stars are another issue. Nate Dogg and Lyfe Jennings do add nice hooks to the respective tracks "Take You There" and "Ghetto Mindstate", and Yukmouth sounds fine on "Stay Ballin'", as do Three Six Mafia on "3,2,1 Go". But most of the other guests fall flat, especially the boring hooks by some crooner called Big Shasta (see "The Souf" or "We Go Make It Out da Hood"). And as for "Sorry Lil' Mama", well, Z-Ro and Nutt definitely live up to their names.

Flip isn't all that when he's by himself either, as evidenced by the boring "Warrior" or "I Just Wanna Tell U" (and the noodle brand is pronounced RAH-men, not RAY-men; why can't rappers pronounce that?). There are also a couple of formulaic songs that fail to impress, like the shake-that-ass vibe of "Make It Shake" and the song with a message, "Single Mother". And on "Hall of Fame Graveyard", he gives props to deceased rappers, but he also zings himself when he asks why all the good rappers are dead while the wack rappers are still alive.

There are other bad songs on here, but I didn't feel like listening to 37 tracks worth of material again to pinpoint them. And when your album is that long and it isn't even good, well...I shouldn't have to explain anything else. Even though I only downloaded this Lil' Flip album, if you want it, you're welcome to it because I sure don't need mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd double disc album from Flip is a good one, April 9, 2007

After almost 3 years since his last studio album and almost a years worth of push backs, Flip finally releases his 4th major label solo album. Like his last one this si also a 2cd set, with 37 songs and almost 2 and a half hrs. of music, so yeah quantity is high, but I also think there is a good amount of good songs on this one. His last double disc was only 21 songs (and only about 14 or 15 were worth it), on this one I think he could have put out a 18-20 song CD worhty of 4.5 stars. Of the 37 songs, 1 classic, 2 are almost classics, 1 I skip, 16 are ok and the other 17 are good songs. Guests are on about half of the songs. Production is good and bad. Synphony does 13 songs, Shorty Pe & Flip do 6, Salaam Remi, Mel Beatz, Z-Ro and Three-6 Mafia all do 2 songs, Attractive Prod. does 4, Carnival beatz, DJ Squeeky, Frank Nitty, Scott Storch, Fyngaz, Manny Fresh, and Russell Rockwell all do 1 song. Though it doesn't match his "Undaground Legend" I think it's equal with "U Gotta Feel Me" and barely worth 4 stars but worth checking out.
