If you thought Bleed's debut was hot, your gonna get roasted to this. "My Own" has a different sound than his first record, but that's what makes it great. He uses lots of samples from the 70's giving it southernplayalistic style that's unmatched. The message conveyed through his lyrics is more than just a mission about money and cheese and thuggin'. Ghetto celebrities Too Short and Daz found their way onto this record, but they are an afterthought. The narcotic effect of Bleed's southern drawl and story telling ability that spawned his first record just accelerates on My Own. Get this if you want to "listen" to a message, not just "hear" words.

This album is much better than his first album in my opinion. songs like "Give and Take" and "A Minute Ta Breathe" give this album a much more raw sound than My Balls and My Word. Great album.

This the best Album Bleed Put out.... I been riding to this CD longer than Santa been coming down chimneys... The message delivered still applies to this day. Listen to the 1st track and keep it rolling. ya dig.. tabernacle

Young Bleed done always dropped verses different from erebody on da tank. This hands down gotta be his best cd. He proved that No Limit wasnt the only reason he was sellin, like a lot of the artist who fell off after they left. Buy this album!

Alright people I'm going to tell it like it is...like I always do. Young Bleed along with C-Murder who is now in jail, Master P, Silkk, Mac, and Soulja Slim were the tightest in No Limit. Soulja Slim is now deceased, C-Murder in jail and Young Bleed is not with No Limit which believe me is a good thing now. I will admit, this is Young Bleeds SECOND best album behind My Ballz And My Word. I don't know how one could even argue that but nonetheless this is a good cd.

Young Bleed left No limit just in time. if this one had been released on NL i would have left it on the shelf. he wouldve been another wasted talent. But he really established his credibility as a rapper on this one, hes just kinda taking his time on album #3. tracks with Too Short, daz, and others mean that he has a real future, hes not too tied to the whole no limit thing to grow.

I am really not six...just filled out the wrong form. I was worried when i found out that Youngbleed was previously affiliated with the whole no limit movement. But after hearing his debue single, "give and take", i was throughly impressed with his beats as well as his distinguishable vocal flow. I took a chance in buying the album and found the album to be real quality. His melodic flows are smooth enough to put a baby to sleep but his lyrical content will definately make you open your eyes. The producers on the album give many different flavors on "My own". "Couldn't see it" is one of the funkiest beats i have heard in years while the self titled song "My own" has a real soul feal (all songs still have that underlying dirty south beat). The guest mc appearances are all unknown to the mainstream industry but all are upfront and have the ability to produce sick flows. If you like hearing intellegence in the south...a.k.a. outcasts, and the youngbloodz, you should give youngbleed a chance. The more and more i listen to it...the better it gets.

Young Bleed's debut was hot ta death, no doubt, but there was just something about it that didn't click well. Maybe it was the label it was on, No Limit. While that did catapult it to Gold sales, it might have turned some people off, thinking it was some more of the same ol' No Talent BS. Well, Bleed is gone from No Limit now, and his sophomore effort picks up right where his debut left off. Although short at only 12 trax, it truly is very well put together. Trax like "All They Lef Me Wuz Da Streets," A Husla," "A Minute ta Breathe," and "My Own" are very nicely constructed, showcasing that southern comfort type feel to the fullest. This album has very few guest appearances, which is a plus becuz it gives Bleed more time to shine. But Too $hort stops by for a nice collabo on "Time and Money." But the best track on here has to be "Trecherous." Clocking in at only 2:28, it's pretty short, but Bleed makes the most of it and rides the deep bassline to the fullest. Overall, this album could've been a little longer, as it leaves you yearning for more. But Bleed has definitely proven that he doesn't need Master P to be successful. He can do it all on his own.

Yo, I've been supporting Young Bleed and his type of music since before his deal with no limit or C-loc Records, Ain't Nothing change. His voice is different from any hip-hop/rap artist on the market. I kinda disliked the fact Master P got all the fame from "How you do dat," and most of his other hits off My Balls and My Word, most people don't even know about the original versions of some of those songs that was put on the No Limit Label. My Own is definitely off the chains, meaning it's worth buying, ya heard me. Bleed keep doing your thang and Represent Baton Rouge like you know how!

This cd is truly tight. My Own is a good mix of that dirty dirty and Midwest Muddy, as only Young Bleed can bring it. He is truly one of the tightest and most slept on southern mc's around. The album is put together well, so it flows from one track to the next. You gotta check the track featuring Daz. When a song involves a Curtis Mayfield loop, it's destined for some great ish! Ya heard me! HOLLA
