Mike Jones for President Apr 10, 2008
If you liked this CD by the self proclaimed mayor of Houston you will love Mike's mixtape Runnin' for President featuring the hit Crunch N Munch. Mike Jones spits out some true raps on Runnin'. Got the munchies? ... Grab yourself some Crunch N Munch!
 this cd is good... Feb 10, 2008
if you want to cut your wrists while you listen to it. this idiot cant rap and hes the epitomy of one hit wonder, except he has no hits. my friend (a dj) likes him but he doesnt know good music. i used to like rap but i grew out of it like most people do. even though i dont like rap anymore i know good rappers(nas eminem dmx)and mike "who" jones isnt one of them. avoid this sorry excuse for a human and rapper.

You wont forget this guy's name after hearing this cd. You'll also get a phone number, although im not going call it to find out who answers. I really enjoy this cd and I dont like rap. I laughed alot because its very repetitive but I love it. I never heard this guy before but a show played a clip of a song by his and I heard Mike Jones. For about a year i'd yell out Mike Jones without even knowing why, it was just fun. I finally bought the cd and I love it! I have a good mix of rap cds even though I barely listen to them but im going probably listen to this one for a week nonstop.
I listened to this cd about four times after I got it. Its very catchy and some parts are funny. Its weird how this guy doesnt swear as much as some rappers out there. I love this cd!

 First Major Debut With The Same Redundant Flow (Rating: 5 out of 10- -2.5 Stars) Feb 27, 2007
I used to live in San Antonio, Texas between 2000-2004. Somewhere around that time one of my friends put in some chopped & screwed mixtape by some guy named Mike Jones. I thought it was okay at best, although he did have somewhat of a flow. One thing I seemed to notice in his songs was the repititon of his name "Mike Jones. WHO? Mike Jones. WHO?", as well as repeating the same line 4 times so he can have his verse the full 16 bars. I thought, "Okay...maybe he is trying to do something different. I don't know..." Well then his debut dropped in 2005, and guess what? His flow has not changed one bit. He still shouts out his name throughout his tracks and repeats the same line four times in many of his songs. Now he had brought a new gimmick, saying his phone number in his songs as well (I guess I wasn't the only person who dialed that number). So really his flow really hasn't changed at all since I first heard him, which was somewhere in late 2003 (which is funny because he said at that time "Who Is Mike Jones" comming soon).
I won't lie though. I was hyped up to see Texas artists finally get their albums out (Slim Thug, Pall Wall, Chamillionare, and of course Mike Jones). I bought this the same week it came out for my support, only to be dissapointed. And to the day I'm typing my review, I've only played this a total of three times, and had very much trouble making it to the end of this album. A lot of these songs have absolutely no replay value. "Type Of N**** U Need" and "Cuttin' (remix)" are some of the worst tracks that I've heard from Mike Jones.
There are some tracks that I liked. Ironically the two singles were the best songs on his album. "Still Tippin'" with the help of Slim Thug and Pall Wall was probably the best song on the album. And a close second was "Back Then" which if you haven't already noticed, the chorus is from "Still Tippin". "Five Years From Now" is okay, so I'll call that my honorable mention track.
So "Who Is Mike Jones?" was a horrible CD, although I admit it was catchy (that might explain why it went platnum). I really can't recommend this to anyone, except those of Texas music as well as Chopped & Screwed music (the version I had came with a chopped & screwed CD). Even so, I know for a fact Texas is more capable of this. If you want anything from Texas, give Slim Thug, Chamillionare, Lil Flip, or even UGK a listen. I just cannot recommend this to anyone else. Hopefully while he is recording his next CD, he thought about changing his flow. Word.
