Trick Daddy worth the money4 out of 5 stars The man that brought such "dirty south" hits as "Nann" and "Shut Up" is back with a whole new album. Trick Daddy's new album, which features the hit song "Take It To The House," is full of banging beats, tight flows and that familiar "dirty south" lingo we have all come to love. Thugs Are Us talks about everything from women to how life is in Trick's Miami home. In "I'm A Thug" the lyrics cover the bases of Trick's life, which he considers to be thuggish. The song goes on to theorize how the world will have to adjust to Trick's unique lifestyle. In "Can't F*** With The South" featuring J.V., Trick tells how he is just trying to make money and not cause trouble; he sends out a message to any potential haters. The message is that he is all about everybody doing his or her own thing, as long as it does not mess with him or he will "handle it." Another song titled "Survivin' The Drought," featuring Duece Poppi, talks about how hard life can be living without any money. This song is a perfect example of how Trick masterly conducts a sermon on the hardships of a troubled life. In all, it contributes to the conceptual feeling surrounding this album. Trick also included a track for the women. "For All My Ladies," featuring Trina, showcases the traditional "I want it all," Trina-style flows that have become her signature style. On this particular track Trina, the only emcee to actually rap on this album, delivers a sort of women empowerment message telling all women to get what they can before men play them. Of course, let's not forget the song destined to be the party anthem track for 2001, titled "Take It To The House." "Take It To The House," featuring the Slip-N-Slide Express, has to be the most-hyped song on this album. The different Slip-N-Slide artists being featured give the track a chance to display the different styles the Slip-N-Slide crew has to offer. Ultimately, this is a really good album that encompasses multiple genres of music. Thugs Are Us is worth every cent. |
