Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Before Pitbull or Jacki-O got picked up on the rap radar, the challenge for Floridian MCs was to avoid sounding like a crunk cliché or a 2 Live Crew derivative. Half the excitement of picking up a Trick Daddy disc is that you have no idea what to expect. Hyper-political numbers like "Amerika" or nonsensical party fluff like "Shut Up"? This eclecticism continues unabated as Trick goes all Bad Brains, rocking out with the aid of an Ozzy Osbourne sample on mosh-friendly "Let's Go." Trick still "loves the kids" apparently, smartly re-tooling a timeless MC Lyte's "Self Destruction" verse and imploring the youth to aim high and stay dry on "These Are the Daze." On the other hand, when most of your discs carry the label "thug" in the title, there's only so much you can do to suppress your compulsion to talk trash; here, he even contrasts women with fruits. --Dalton Higgins

4.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly good..., November 15, 2004

This review is from: Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets (Audio CD)

I will start off this review saying that I am no fan of crunk. I am one of those pretentious backpacker nerds who tend to look down on what other people like. I listened to this cd with that perspective expecting not to like it - and was pleasantly suprised. Trick sounds hungry on these tracks. Great beats, and while Trick will never blow you away with his lyricism, he rides the beats extremely well. The album has varied content - part southern thug bravado (f&*kin around), part hungry artist just trying to get by (I Wanna Sing), even a couple of love songs. While Sugar sounds like a rehash of In Da Wind (beat almost identical, Cee-Lo singing the hook) it still bumps, due in no small part to a stellar guest spot from Ludacris. Even a questionable Sabbath sample (Let's Go) works on this album. Especially with the recent trend of disappointing hip-hop albums out there (*cough Encore cough*) Thug Matrimony is a breath of fresh air. Will not change your life of anything, but it is fun and worth a listen.

I am sick and tired of people slammin people that take old rock and other types of music and add uptodate beats and lyrics...grow up you worthless turd... " Nice job of stealing, January 28, 2005

the song "Crazy Train" from Ozzy Osbourne you talentless
manufactured hack. Go get some skills and write your OWN
stuff. It's sad these guys don't even have enough talent
to come up with their own stuff. If stupid people wouldn't
make this guy famous he'd be a homeless bum on the side
of the street.

And before you go on about Ozzy appproving that song. He
is just looking for money these days and it isn't his tar
riff anyway.... It's Randy Rhoades and he's dead. I have
my doubt that he'd approve. And that's only part of the
point anyway. COME UP WITH YOUR OWN STUFF. .."

you moron...Actually Ozzy owens all rights to it...also...plenty of people take music and update it...thats why its music...You FREAKING SHMUCK DIE AND GO TO HELL!

This review is from: Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets (Audio CD)

*Before I start my review...I wanna ask one question...How is the riff stolen if it was cleared to sample by Ozzy Ozbourne?*

Don't worry about people hating on Trick cause he sampled a song...and don't pay attention to people that think making music doesn't take any talent. They make me laugh.

On to the review!

Trick Daddy delivers more of that Miami heat that he is known for. With 5 albums under his belt, and this 6th one heating up the airwaves, Trick remains a staple in Southern Hip Hop music and music in general. He is a good lyricist and rhymes are adept. An underated rapper to say the least. The beats for the most part are on point here displaying that updated Dade County sound.

Everyone knows that Trick Daddy is for the kids but the songs he does here for them, unlike his other albums, are corny. These Are The Daze, I Wanna Sing, The Children's Song are good but they aren't good. They sound heavily out of place on this album, so they might not be corny...they just don't sound right on the album and they come back to back to back. Maybe if the sequencing was different. They aight to listen to, but I usually skip them; songs (5-8).

With That out the way, Trick does deliver on these songs. F'In Around with T.I. and Up & Coming rapper Young Jeezy ( he'z gonna blow!), The single Let's Go wit Twista & Lil John, Gangsta Livin, U Neva Know, The smooth 2nd single Sugar with Luda and CeeLo. Nearly all the songs are tight rather than the ones already explained. Menage A Trois is quite possibly the best song on the album with Smoke from Field Mob absolutely ripping the song to shreds, The best verse on the album and one of his best ever. The beat is hot and Trick drops some hot stuff too (but not as hot as Smoke's!). 4Eva with Jazze Pha is playa, and I Cry with legend Ron Isley is also a candidate for best song on the album; a reflective song with excellent crooning by Ron Isley. Thug's About is another great song with trey Songz about trying to get with this lady. He samples New Edition's If It Isn't Love, and surprisingly makes an extremely good song. "If I aint a Thug, why do I feel this way?/ Why the Streets Stay on my mind/ since I am a thug, why do yall get so mad?, Y not accept that's my life?". Trick Daddy gets down on the introspection on this track. Supertight. He ends the album off in good fashion with Ying Yang Twins and Trina on DOWN WITH THE SOUTH where they proclaim 'now everybody wanna be down with the south!!!!' in an infectious chant and a good club beat.

Trick Daddy's album is another example of great Down South music. While not as good as his previous album, it is definitely worthwhile for you to check out. Forever pimpin never slippin. 4.5 stars.
