 3-1/2 stars -- Thank God he left when he had the chance Oct 15, 2007
I never really paid a whole lot of attention to Lil Scrappy because when I was first introduced to him, he was with Trillville, and I REALLY couldn't get into HIM (or them, or whatever the situation was). But now Scrappy is off on his own and released his album Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live, which is actually pretty good.
Scrappy now seems to be an unofficial member of the G-Unit family, considering 50 Cent produced much of the album (although the only song he appears on is "N What's Up"). And the songs are much better than I expected, especially the album's opener, "I'm Back". Other highlights include "Gangsta Gangsta", "Money in the Bank", "Posted in the Club" and "Get Right", as well as the hidden track, "Oh Yeah". "Livin' in the Projects" would also be great if I overlooked the fact that the chorus is simply a snippet of Tupac's verse from Scarface's "Smile".
This album is 74 minutes long, and I know just what songs to get rid of to cut it down to size. First, I would lose the material that uses the played-out subject matter: case in point, "Anutha Country Story" (although it's only a skit) is just that. And the obligatory end-of-album spiritual song "Lord Have Mercy" doesn't do anything for me (and I still don't understand why rappers think it's a good idea to curse in songs about God). To say you've heard "P Poppin'" before would be an understatement, and "Baby Daddy" has Scrap not understanding why his girl is leaving after he cheated (is there a brain in the house?).
There's also a song called "Police" that deals with racial profiling, and the skit that precedes it has a fake white officer pulling Scrappy and his buddy over for apparently no reason (does no one understand that that kind of skit was NEVER funny?). Anyway, despite a few road bumps, Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live proves that Lil Scrappy indeed has what it takes to have his career live on, so it's worth checking out.

Scrappy doin his thing Feb 10, 2007
The album is cool. Got a couple club bangers on here too. The 50 cent track is fire too. Its something to have around the house.

 Scrappy man you let us down Feb 04, 2007
First of all let me clearly state that im from Atlanta and I am a diehard fan of Lil Scrappy and that is why it breaks my heart to tell you that this CD is garbage. Besides Money in the Bank there are no other standout cuts and it is a shame because the underground mixtape he dropped with DJ Don Cannon early last year was on fire, He and Cannon delivered all new tracks and there were all on point, that was of course before 50's influence which brings us to our problem. The influence of Curtis Jackson A.K.A 50 Cent is very clear on this album. I like 50 but he knows little of the way we make records down south. If the G-Unit boss would have just stayed out he way and let Scrappy pick and choose his own tracks, verses etc. everything may have been fine. The guy is a control freak and as a result nobody in the "A" is pumping this and it is a shame because when Scrappy is on point the boy is unstoppable. This CD is garbage plain and simple and 50's influence is going to put the the crown prince of the south's career in serious jerpody unless he quickly wise's up. This is an honest review from a fan that has been down since day one.I have bought all the mixtapes and everything else he's dropped but, im telling you If you the consumer buy this Cd you will regret it and to Scrappy ditch the G Unit do what's in your heart and get back to business.

 Real Good Album Feb 01, 2007
Lord Have Mercy on me, never thought lil scrappy could ever come clean. the beats are clean and at times crink, if it wasnt 4 a couple tracks like p**** pop, it would have been a-lot better. Def the best tracks are Livin In the Projects with Pac R.I.P., Born 2 Live, and Lord Have Mercy, if u cant bump this then slap yourself, BME! wheres crunk rock?

"Livin in the projects, broke...with no lights on..." Dec 26, 2006
Bred 2 Die, Born 2 live to me is a decent release. I'm not sure what people were expecting. As if Scrappy just fell off or something. He sounds the same to me. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion...so you definately have to take listen for yourself. Scrappy still giving you some of that southern crunk on songs like... "Gangsta Gangsta", Touching Everything". And he got a little personal with songs like "livin in the projects", and "Born 2 Live". Overall, if you like Lil' Scrappy then this CD will be added to your collection
