Editorial Reviews

Early hints seemed to suggest that Reality Check could be a turning point for Juvenile. Fueled by the destruction of his native New Orleans, Juve seemed ready to let the world feel his wrath. Instead, Reality Check hardly breaks much new ground; even "Get Ya Hustle On," with its stark video filmed in the ravaged 5th Ward, is little more than another "cook crack" anthem even if he takes time to lash out at FEMA. It's not like Reality Check will disappoint old fans--the cocky swagger and brazen sexuality is still in full effect, especially on stripper pole anthems like "Rodeo," and "Loose Booty" or any of the electro-groovy tunes such as "Why Not" or the explosive "Pop U." Still, compared to former Hot Boy partner Lil Wayne, whose recent Tha Carter II found Weezy pushing to a new level of artistry, Juve seems content to coast. --Oliver Wang

Product Description

Featuring guest artists Ludacris, Trey Songz, Bun B, 8Ball, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Brian McKnight and others, Reality Check is Juvenile's most well-rounded album to date. As for the album tile, Juvenile explains, "That's where I'm at right now in my life. I feel like everybody needs a reality check. I have em' all the time. Nobody's perfect." Then, smiling wide enough to show all his diamond-encrusted teeth, he finishes: "But I feel like I got the perfect album."

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Juvenile's finest albums, March 7, 2006

Viper (Chicago IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Juvenile: Reality Check (Audio CD)

This is a great album from Juvenile. Everything about it is great. The lyrics are great and the production is top notch too. This will be on it's way to becoming a classic like Juve The Great(his best album) and 400 Degreez. I just wish that he could have gotten Mannie Fresh to produce the whole thing. Still this is a great album and I'll be listening to it all year, it's only March and I have a potential candidate for album of the year and it's certainly a lot better than that Public Enemy trainwreck "Rebirth of a Nation". This is one of the year's best albums.

This review is from: Juvenile: Reality Check (Audio CD)

This album is one of his best ever, the lyrics are great and the beats hit hard. I read a lot of hater reviews on here and they say he raps about the samething but all rappers rap about the same. I am going to say this, if you do not like rap then don't review it or listen to it go listen to Britney Spears or Coldplay quit reviewing rap albums. Anyways buy this album if you like rap because this album is a banger. BUY THIS!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Juvenile: Reality Check (Audio CD)

I been waiting for this juvenile album for a while. Now dat it is out im not dissapointed at all. The beats are nis nice and juve spits about more than just money and cars (unlike Baby a.k.a Birdman) he gets on the topic of FEMA George Bush and Katrina. Dis album is one of the best albums I've heard in a while and probably the hottest album of da year.
