The Second Coming? Oct 12, 2005 One word: bimpop. Once again Jermaine Dupri pulls off a masterful moment in Western History. This album is a perfect complement to his guest appearance on the Steve Harvey Show. Jermaine is out to show everyone once and for all: I'm not fronting -- I do exist! And I'll keep existing depsite the doubters, the haters, the finaglers and the Zionists until I die. Right on Jermaine. It just goes to show that backup dancers can talk, too.

Solid "2nd" solo release for JD Jul 22, 2005 For his "2nd" solo album (even though this as well as "Life in 1472" have guests on most to all of the songs), JD did a good job. I'm not a huge fan of his but this album is solid. Guests are mostly to thank for that, as well as some great production (that he always seems to pull off). Of the 13 songs on here (it does have a lot of skits/interludes) 1 is a classic, 1 or 2 are near classics, 4 are ok, 1 I skip, and the rest are good. For those who have heard JD before, you know what to expect, songs about women and flashing and flautin his money, nothing new. Production is also good, JD takes part in 11 of the songs (he produces 1 and co-produces 10) and Swizz Beats & Neptunes each do a song. I'd recommend this album for his fans or fans of that kind of rap.
#2 - 10 (CLASSIC -- great beat -- f/ Ludacris -- also onone of his albums)
#3 - 8 (f/ UGK & Manuel Seal)
#5 - 7 (f/ Boo, Gotti, Usher, R.O.C.)
#7 - 9.5 (f/ Jadakiss & a good hook from Freeway -- nice beat)
#8 - 8.5 (f/ Nate Dogg)
#9 - 7 (f/ Bilal)
#11 - 9.5 (great beat -- f/ Manish Man)
#13 - 8.5 (f/ Nate Dogg, R.O.C., Trey Lorenz, Katrina -- nice beat)
#14 - 8 (f/ Clipse -- also on their "Lord Willin" Album)
#15 - 9 (f/ Jagged Edge -- great beat and story)
#16 - 7.5 (f/ Kurupt, Field Mob, Eddie Cain, Backbone)
#18 - 5.5 (f/ Da Brat & Kandi)
#20 - 7 (F/ Xscape)
Jermaine Dupri -- b. 9/23/73 -- Atlanta, GA

INSTRUCTIONS : AVOID THIS GARBAGE!!! Oct 11, 2003 This guy is the biggest joke in hip hop today.All of the songs on this album sound ridiculous and boring.The beats could of been made by a second grader and as well as the lyrics.All of the songs are about bling bling,cars,champaigne and how he's the richest guy on the block.He is a prime example of the very sad state that hip hop is in today.Anybody with half a brain will avoid this album at all costs.DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!!!

.... Jul 14, 2003 I have never really been a JD fan, but I decided to give him another chance when I got this CD. And I still understand why I didn't like him from the beginning. His flow is too commercial for my liking and his verses are focused on materialistic things. One up side to the album, however is the beats. They are some really good beats, but too bad they are wasted on this trashy album.JD should stay away from rapping and stick to producing. There are only two really good songs on the album, Welcome To Atlanta & Hate Blood. And neither of these songs are good because of Dupri. There are some really good people featured on the album, and that makes the CD twice as dissappointing. JD - you need to improve your rapping or just give up altogether.
