Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Can growing bank accounts and artistic integrity co-exist in Chingy's world? It's a question that begs for an answer on Powerballin', considering he's become a multi-platinum solo seller and not just a Ludacris accessory. A very large chunk of studio time is given over to expounding on his newfound wealth: on "Give Em Some Mo" he's a "young Donald Trump," and on "I Do" he reminds listeners about his new cars (Caprice, Range Rover with spinners, Impala). Fair enough--you have it, you flaunt it. But devoting a whole song ("26's") to the size of his car rims is a bit disturbing. The interesting thing is that numbers like "Balla Baby" are legitimate heat-seeking dance-floor winners, as his breakout smash "Right Thurr" was. But guest shots by R. Kelly and Janet Jackson don't add much to the effort, and when Chingy objectifies young women in the worst way--literally conversing with a body part on "Make That Ass Talk"--it's clear that he needs to refocus his lyrics to match the great beats that are here. --Dalton Higgins

1.0 out of 5 stars Chingy is not a rapper, December 15, 2004

Just wanted to clear up for all the ***en half wits out there (Mike Madison). This album is pathetic. Chingy is not cool, chingy is not talented & he definitely aint a good rapper.

Chingy do what all other rappers do, in particular juvenile,cash money, and snoop. degrade women, money, and the life.Chingy makes no apologies on this album. Psyche!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not true. There are rappers out there, namely Talib Kweli, Common, Jean Grae, De La Soul, The Roots, even Royce Da 5'9" that don't rap about this sort of crap & don't get the respect they deserve. As for fans not caring about Hip-Hop culture, if you don't care about it you're obviously not into Hip-Hop. You're into Commercial, [...], Bling, Bling, jump in your coup with the sunroof down whistling at the grisly chicks on the side of the street while smokin a fat $100 bill in a blunt music.

Real MCs like me expose fools like Chingy for the fools they are.

Oh yeah did I mention the album sucks like a lollipop. (Chingy couldn't even come up with a metaphor that simple!)

Peace. MC Jaybsty.

PS. Pick up a copy of Streets Disciple by Nas for some real Hip-Hop Culture.

This review is from: Powerballin (Audio CD)

I didnt want to give this a rating at all, because I honestly didnt know what this was. Is this music? Judging by the cover I assumed it was either a Master P produced disc, or a Master P produced movie. Ching-A-Ling (<---lol) needs to quit.

By the way...does he actually hoot like a owl in that song?
