Ev'rybody Know Me also includes production from Mannie Fresh, Jazze Pha and Daz Dillinger. The album's Lil Jon-produced lead single, 'Presidential', is currently on Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks. The new album also features a wealth of guest appearances, including TLC's T-Boz on 'It's Good', G-Unit's Young Buck on 'Datz Me', Lil Scrappy on 'Xcuse Me Shawty' and veteran rapper Too $hort on 'Addicted 2 Pimpin'. Jive. 2005.
This review is from: Ev'rybody Know Me (Audio CD)
Although the YoungBloodZ always had skills, it appeared that their first album Against Da Grain didn't get much attention outside of Atlanta. But then they blew up EVERYWHERE after the Lil Jon-assisted "Damn" cracked the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. Still, the fate for their sophomore album Drankin' Patnaz was another example of how a song can climb to the top of the charts yet still no one buys the album (Terror Squad, anyone?). That was also another one of those albums where nothing really stood out other than the singles. But Ev'rybody Know Me is better...well, sort of. The album starts off great with selections like the Scott Storch-produced "Chop Chop", "Datz Me" (with Young Buck) and the lead single, "Presidential". And for once, the necessary end-of-album remix of it sounds like its own song instead of essentially the same song with another guest rapper on the third verse or something. The title track is also rewindable. But as soon as you get to track 7 ("What tha Biz (If I)"), things start going downhill. There are a lot of disposable tracks, like "Sum'n Like a Pimp" and the retarded "Grown Man". And as my brother said, "Haterproof" suffers from a lame chorus. Production also starts to get a little redundant: you can tell that Mannie Fresh produced the aforementioned "What tha Biz" because it sounds like a leftover Big Tymers song. And the ironically titled "It's Good" (with T-Boz) is bad enough already, but honestly, is "Wait" the only beat that Mr. Collipark knows how to do? I'm surprised that many people don't own this album, especially considering that Sean Paul was all over every R&B song last year (but to be fair, he was on Cherish and Sammie's albums, and nobody has THOSE either). I also think that although he's good, J-Bo can rap circles around him (solo album, perhaps?). Considering that this album came out in 2005 and this is only the nineteenth review for it, it seems that not everybody knows the YoungBloodZ after all, but I'll again agree with my brother and say that this album will be enjoyed best by people who are already fans of theirs.
