4.0 out of 5 stars I-20 - Self Explanitory, February 9, 2005

By 

Tha Realest (Greensburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Self Explanatory (Audio CD)

After multiple Ludacris albums, a Disturbing Tha Peace group album, and Shawnna's solo debut, I-20 dropped his debut album, "Self Explanitory."

1. Eyes Open (Intro)

2. Meet the Dealer (Featuring Ludacris) - Good beat, I-20 comes nice even though his voice is kinda annoying, Luda comes with an alright hook - 4/5

3. Fightin In the Club (Featuring Lil' Fate, T*** Boi, and Chingy) - Good beat, Everyone comes nice, hook is good...real hardcore type track - 4.5/5

4. The Realist - Nice beat, I-20 flows real fast and grimey, hook is real hard as well - 4.5/5

5. Backstage (Featuring Butch Cassidy) - Another good beat, I-20 flows real nice to the beat on this laid back track, Butch comes with a good hook - 5/5

6. Break Bread (Featuring Ludacris & Bone Crusher) - Alright beat, I-20 comes nice, Luda and Bone Crusher make a good hook - 4.5/5

7. May Sound Crazy - Decent beat, I-20 is impressive, hook isn't feelable - 3/5

8. Hennessey & Hydro (Featuring Three 6 Mafia) - Good beat, Everyone comes nice, hook is real good - 5/5

9. Point 'Em Out (Featuring Juvenile) - Good beat, 20 rips up the verses, Juvi's hook is good - 4.5/5

10. So Decatur - Beat sucks, I-20's flow is real good, hook is wack - 2.5/5

11. Og Anthem (Featuring Butch Cassidy) - Decent beat, I-20 flows nice, Butch's hook isn't that good, then theres a intro skit to the next song which is pointless - 1.5/5

12. Slow F*****' (Featuring Shawnna) - Decent beat, Shawnna and 20 both come nice talkin bout having sex, hook is alright - 4/5

13. Kisha - Good beat, 20 describes a troubled teenage girl, good hook - 4.5/5

14. Hey Shawty (Featuring Devin the Dude) - Nice beat, 20 comes nice but Devin raps too slow, hook is too slow and wack - 2.5/5

Overall: 50/65

3.5 Stars

This is a good debut but could have been better. The main issue is I-20's hooks. If he had some better hooks, the album would have gotten ranked way higher. His voice can get annoying sometimes too but that doesn't mean he doesn't have skills!

See I-20 is smarter than Chingy...Stay with one of the kings of the South which is Ludacris and you will be prosper also. Chingy is dumb he isn't going to be anything with Ludacris...Hopefully I-20 will be loyal and ride with Ludacris to the top...I-20 is tight cause DTP is nice! Break bread is nice song to bump....Good decent album i-20!
