 The Complete Idiot's Guide to... Dec 27, 2007
I've never been a huge fan of Yung Joc, but I heard from other people that his latest album Hustlenomics is much better than his first album. I didn't hear his first album, but I listened to THIS and while there are some good moments, there are more moments that are not-so-good.
But first, the good news: Joc has really improved his style for the most part. He shines on songs like "Cut Throat" (featuring Jim Jones, who also sounds better than he usually does; and the Game, who actually DOESN'T name-check anyone), "Play Your Cards" and the necessary honey-sings-the-chorus track, "Livin' the Life". The Jazze Phizzle productizzle "Momma" is also pretty decent except that, well, I guess people still don't realize that it sounds a little weird to want a woman that's like your mother. Also good is the title track, but considering that Joc keeps saying "welcome to Hustlenomics", it would make sense if it were the opening track; instead, it's the closing track -- well, depending on what version of the album you have (more on that later).
Now, the bad news. Joc often raps alongside his alter-ego Pak Man, a habit that tends to get pretty annoying (T.I. vs. T.I.P., anyone?). This is especially evidenced on "Pak Man", but it is also shown on the overrated "Coffee Shop" as well as "Hustlemania", a pointless game show skit. Speaking of "Coffee Shop", though, Gorilla Zoe is on that song, and when he shows up elsewhere on the album with screwed and chopped choruses, he doesn't hold much weight (see "Coloso" or "Bottle Poppin'"). "BYOB" is a filler track, and "Brand New" has Joc and Rick Ross completely butchering the Stylistics' "You Make Me Feel Brand New" with their sing-along chorus -- and although Snoop Dogg kicks a nice verse on that song, his talking at the end is stupid. And the otherwise dope "I'm a G" suffers from a painfully weak chorus ("I'm the seventh letter of the alphabet/I'm a G"???).
I also wonder what version of the album I have because I don't have "Hell Yeah" or a few of the skits; instead I have "Coloso" and some different skits. Hustlenomics isn't wack, but it isn't the crash course you need to get educated in the game, so if you're not a fan of Yung Joc, leave it in the store.

Pretty good Oct 16, 2007
The cd is pretty good. I've listened to it all the way through a couple times and I am pretty satisfied. It is similar to New Joc City, similar beats and decent lyrics. Coffee shop is a good song but most definetly not his only single worthy track. Play your cards is a "T.I." style song with a nice ATL style beat. BYOB, besides the mediocre chorus, has a catchy beat unlike all the others that takes away from the usual Joc, Gucci Mane, and Gorilla Zoe type beats most of the other songs take on. Momma is a really good song he devotes to his mother, lyrically and beat wise, the song is very good. The song Hustlenomics was a good way to end the album, with another ATL style beat, the song closes the album well. Hell Yeah would have to be the only song i didnt particularly enjoy, besides that the cd is pretty good overall.

on point Oct 14, 2007
I didn't expect this album to be like his first and it isn't. To me its actually better. I mean, there were only a few songs that I liked on the first one, but just about every song on this album is good.
My Top 7:
Play your card
Bottle poppin
Cut throat
I'm a g
Pak man
Getting to da money
Believe me, it is worth the money as long as you're not comparing it to his first album
