Good album,
By "peruviannigga" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whatcha Gonna Do (Audio CD)
It's obvious this album was meant for the mainstream (not that there's anything wrong with that). Appearances by Method Man, Redman, DMX, and Ice Cube prove it. I don't think it'll really make that big of an impact on mainstram rap fans who listen to DMX and Ja Rule, and it might dissapoint some underground Jayo fans, but in my opinion this cd still holds ground. The beats ain't bad at all, and then lyrics are above average. The skits are woth skipping and there might be a cut or two that you'll find a little boring, but tracks like Watcha Gonna Do (and the remix), Easy To Get It In, Nitty Gritty, J.A.Y.O, and How Angry are really dope and the guest appearances on each come off nice. The thing I thought was missing in this album, was the gangbanging element Jayo adds, but it's understandable since it's supposed to be a mainstream record, but oh well, it's still a good cd.

Def Jam Could Have Pushed This A Lot Harder (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Whatcha Gonna Do (Audio CD)
After the sucess of his debut Take a Ride back in 1995, San Diego's "Bullet Loco" comes with his sophomore LP Whatcha Gonna Do? three years later. This album has a different feel than his previous, as back then, Jayo had made songs about the gangsta life over funky beats, and told stories about jail life. He does it here, but a little more less, and goes a little more mainstream with his hit (and what I believe his most popular) single "Whatcha Gonna Do?" which features Method Man, and DMX. The idiots at Def Jam should have pushed that single much harder than what it was, seeing that everything else that hit the radio was mostly their singles (see everyone who was signed on that label from the east coast back in '98), but then again they really placed everyone on the left coast on the backburner for the longest (such artists as Warren G, SCC, and Richie Rich...just to name a few) causing thier hits to fade to obscurity.
Another bangin track is the remix to the title track which features Redman, Mack 10, and W.C. Again, the remix could have been promoted, but then again it's Def Jam were talking about. Other great tracks include "No Body On Dry Land", "How Mad" featuring Eightball and MJG, and "Nitty Gritty". Everything else on the album is good, but it really drags between tracks 11-15, causing a great amount of filler. Then it pickes up again on "End Of The World", and "J.A.Y.O.". The latter features E-40 and Ice Cube. The overall album is dope from Jayo. This album could have sold more if he was a more popular and better productive label, and since it's out of print, you can tell how much they care about this here. Although he has kept a low profile for the longest since this album, more than likely he is going to be remembered for the single "Whatcha Gonna Do?" You be the judge here. Peace.

Another Jayo Classic,
By
This review is from: Whatcha Gonna Do (Audio CD)
Even though it has been 3 years since his last release and he went "mainstream" and put out the album on Def Jam, he makes his 2nd classic album in as many tries. I think "Take A Ride" is ever so slightly better but this is still a 5 star classic. His lyrics, as always, are tight and his style is different and unique but he leaves his gangbangin' element out of most of the album unlike his other 3 albums. Def Jam did not promote it how it should've (like they do with all there west coast arists - Richie Rich, Warren G, South Central Cartel to name a few). The beats are great and pure west coast - produced by DJ Silk (7 songs) E-A Ski & T-Phunk (3 songs each) and Jayo does 2 songs. The guests are from east, west, and south and they're on 7 songs. It has 5 classic tracks, 8 good/great songs and the other 2 are o.k (on Jayo isn't even on). None on here I skip other than the few skits. A must have album for all rap fans.
#2 - 10 (classic w/ great beat) #3 - 8.5 (f/ eightball & MJG) #4 - 10 (classic w/ great beat -- f/ Method Man & DMX) #5 - 9 #6 - 10 (another classic w/ great beat -- same beat as #4 -- f/ Redman, WC, Mack 10) #7 - 10 (Classic w/ great beat) #8 - 8 #10 - 7(short "song" by Crook of the DuLow gang -- no Jayo rapping on it) #11 - 8 (f/ Anthony (T-Phunk) Pearyer -- relaxing beat) #12 - 8 #13 - 8 (f/ kokane) #14 - 8.5 (f/ mack 10) #15 - 10 (classic w/ great beat -- about hustin') #16 - 9 #17 - 7.5 (f/ e-40 & ice cube) James Savage ---- b. around 1973 ---- San Diego, CA check all my reviews
