Heres how I rate it

7:F.I.L.A.-8/10 Song Scrappy represents ATL w/, good lyrics

21:Gone-10/10 Tillville best song, only 3 1/2 minutes though good beat
If It weren't for all the stupid trillville skits then this album could've looked at a 3 or 4 star rating, but buy it for Lil' Scrappys performance alone.

Lil' Scrappy needs to find himself something called a flow. I guess this is a good record if you like to hear someone talking over super-generic, cornball production. Fortunately, I doubt his career or that of his affiliates and peers will last too much longer. I'll give it 2-3 years at most before these pseudo-MCs are never heard from again. Perhaps, one day the kids who gave this album 5 stars will learn about something called hip hop culture. Yes, lets all get crunk in the club. Too bad noone cops Tag Team's albums these days. This is disposable noise that will soon be forgotten forever.

Whomever is into the southern crunk music, this is the CD you need to cop out. This album is produced with some crunk by Lil' Jon, which he is really hot out of A.T.L.! This album has two different covers for Lil Scrappy and Trillville, which the sequence of the different covers are different, but the same songs are included.

Both artists has 10 different tracks fitted into one CD, which is a double album fitted into a whole one CD! I feel that this CD would be better without the numerous of skits which I am very disappointed on this CD. That is why I give 3 stars to this CD. And the other reason I give this CD 3 stars is that the production is tight, but the lyrical content of Trillville is lacking to me, it is just nothing but screaming, throughout some of his tracks. I think that Lil Scrappy has the tightest lyrical skills from the ATL! This CD is good for bumpin in your whips with a good boomin system and start a good party!

My favorite tracks on this CD is (1) "F.I.L.A. (Forever I Love Atlanta)," that track is crunk as hell!; (2)"Head Bussa," (3) "Get Some Crunk In Yo System (feat. Pastor Troy)," the title of the song speaks for itself!; and (4) "Neva Eva."

Go and cop this album if you are into that crunk southern style!

Lil John is most known for his infectious beats and chants. To make this formula tolerable and memorable he has established rappers spit over his beats. Enter Lil Scrappy and Trillville. Trillville are nothing lyrically but some more hypemen for Lil John. Just think of another set of the Eastside Boyz. Lil Scrappy has moderate skills for the type of rapper he is. His rapping voice is not captivating enough for these lil Jon tracks. Sometimes he seems like he has drifted off into the beat and on crunk tracks the rapper has to command the track. He's a nice rapper, spits some tight lines throughout, but needs to work on his delivery.

With that said, on this double disc set Lil Scrappy easily drops the best side. Despite the tracklisting there are only six songs the rest are skits. Every song is ridin though. Headbussaz, Diamonds In My Pinky Ring, FILA (Forever I Love Atlanta), and What The? are all tightness. My favorite off the side though is 'No Problems' it just has a gangsta type beat.

Trillville's side isn't as tight even with their lyrical shortcomings. Get On My Level was an anthem in the A-Town. Get Some Crunk In Yo System is the only other tight fast song to me. Some Cut is a nice little laid back female number.

On the whole the album has way too many skits that are basically useless and not funny. The album also only serves one purpose and that's to get you hyped up to fight and get crunk; unlike Lil Jon albums that have a more varied approach. The rappers are also not captivating enough for me. But if you just need an energy album, or a bump in the ride album then this is right up your alley. Those looking for more should pass.

Because I like No Problems and that song Some Cut but thats about it No Problems My favorite club song of 2004!!!!! Good Production Lil Jon on that one!

I was reading some of the previous views and two in particular stood out. Sham.......Jesterz and especially Justin_Ross. I started laughing because what do they know about the durty, durty? These two gentlemen are from Philly and Indiana (ha haha) and they are telling their worldly nothern biased views of hip hop "culture"; when it is obvious, they have no idea about the african american hip hop culture and music genres. There are several tracks on the CD that gets you krunk! There is not an artist alive that does not sample another's music or have similar sounding beats. I suggest two these two people, come to the south and listen, and get to know the "hip hop culture". And stop trying to sound like Siskel and Ebert, using "big words to make a statement. As for the album, my favorite is NO problems and Some Cut. Lil Scrappy will make it in my opinion and is not a one hit wonder in my opinion.

Haven't had a bad run-in w/ a supplier or amazon! Keep up the Good Work

I don't really like crunk. Most crunk sounds identical to me, especially when it comes from Lil' Jon's camp of rappers, and has his annoying adlibs laced throughout each beat(OOOOOOOOOKAY!). I like some forms of crunk, such as the style Three 6 Mafia has made famous, as well as the H-Town trunk rattling crunk they've produced; but Lil' Jon's music is just really bland.

Trillville is a typical Lil' Jon project. Loud, and abrasive rappers screaming nonsensical gangsterisms over a beat you could've sworn you just heard on the last track, albeit with minor adjustments. They have no substance, nor personality at all, and are much like Lil' Jon's only backing group, the Eastside Boyz, only with an added member; you really can't tell there are three rappers in this triad, however, because they all sound remarkably similar. Lil' Jon's production is obnoxious on this side of the album, and the only track that ever slightly gets over is "Weakest Link," simply because of the gimmick it portrays. Honestly, Trillville's effort would've been lucky to ascend above one star had this album been released without their superior counterpart.

As the reviewer below me insinuated, Lil' Scrappy is not a good lyricist. He has nothing more to say than the average commercial cat, and for Scrappy, it's mostly about guns, drugs, and women; especially guns. On this release, he didn't have the fetish he currently has for money(no doubt due to G-Unit), and mostly came with raw, aggressive lyrics about popping caps in fools' ***es. Does that sound like a generic rapper to you? Indeed it does. However, Scrappy possesses more charisma, and energy than most cats you're going to find today. No one has sounded this good screaming into a microphone since Sticky Fingaz(although Scrap lacks Sticky's absurd humor, brilliant concepts, and occasionally thought provoking lyrics), and while others may attempt what Scrappy does, they all seem to fail. Scrappy makes tracks like "No Problem," "Head Bussa," and "F.I.L.A." because he presents himself as a larger than life performer, and due to his natural charisma, makes you believe it.

So what this tends to be, in the end, is an above-average EP that showcases the potential of Lil' Scrappy, marketed as a double-album with the bland personication of a cliche, Trillville. It gets three stars for Scrappy, and would be worth checking if you're willing to spend around $15 bucks for an EP; however, if you're not, I suggest you just wait for Lil' Scrappy's full-length debut, due out later this year.

I don't pretend to know all the ends and outs of crunk music and Lil Scrappy is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr from being anywhere near my favorite rapper, but I have to admit his music & style are growing on me.

If you're looking for mind-twisting lyrical prowess like TuPac, Nas, Scarface, Jay-Z or even a Lil Wayne or Chamillionaire now, this ain't the album for you.

The art and creativity of a artist like Lil Scrappy is in making high-energy, adrenaline-rushing frenzied kinda music. It's more of a cathartic, emotional and spiritual kind of release ... at least that's what I get from it.

Have you ever been amped up and ready to stomp someone who pissed you off (of course, stopping short of action)? Do you like getting revved up to help get you in a hype, party mood? Have you ever listened to music just get some kind of release?

That's the kind of music Lil Scrappy makes.

Some will listen to this album and "get it" and some won't -- that's how I see it.

As far as entertainment goes, this isn't a bad listen although I bought this CD strictly for Scrap's contribution.

That's where the three-stars come from.

If you're into high energy, rowdy kinda music -- "hip hop mosh pit" kinda stuff if you will -- you'll enjoy most of what Scrappy's music has to offer.

From what I hear about his forthcoming album, like it or not, this is an artist on the come-on.

Lil Scrappy and Triville come together to give an album that is really a double album. the first half of the album is Triville and the last half is Lil Scrappy. This CD has some hot beats but the rapping is okay and the lyrical content is also lacking substance. But I guess the whole purpose of this cd is to get you crunk and this CD will do that for you. Dont look too deep into this one because you'll just be disappionted. By now you should know that Lil Jon's purpose is to get everyone acting crazy to his music and this will do it for you. I give it 3 stars for the tight beats and its ability to get the club crunk.
