I-20 - Self Explanitory, February 9, 2005
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!
