DJ Paul - Underground 16: For Da Summa
Reviewed By: ULTIMATECDLINK
Album Rate: 4 out of 5 Stars
DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia drops a long awaited solo CD but don't let the title fool you. This is not the same "Underground 16" that was originally released on cassette. This 14-track version was re-recorded with new songs featuring some of Hypnotize Camp Posse's newest members like LaChat & Frayser Boy.
1. Back Da Fuck Back-- this track starts off with an intro with DJ Paul talkin about why he's the King of Memphis and how everyone tryin to claim HCP now. DJ Paul and Lord Infamous each drop one verse over a pretty tight beat.
2. Still Gettin My Dick Sucked-- this track is DJ Paul rappin about the best hoe he's had and she was so good at suckin dick. It's kinda of a slow track over a piano beat with a part of the chrous that is chopped.
3. Kickin In Doe/I Think They Scared-- this is the first single from DJ Paul. The first couple of times I heard this on radio, I wasn't really feelin it but it's growing on me. Hook goes "I think I got em scared/I think that they scared of me". DJ Paul drops two tight verses.
4. CYOAZZNDALOT-- this track features Project Pat and DJ Paul. Project Pat starts off with his choppy style of rap and drops two verses. DJ Paul does the hook saying "A bitch ain't up in the club/ I see his azz in the lot." There is the typical Three 6 Mafia chanting in the background with chants of "Get Buck" and "Where You Hoes At".
5. Break Da Law-- DJ Paul brings us another remix version of this song and this one features Frayser Boy. Not a lot of rappin on this track. Basically DJ Paul repeating "Blow a nigga azz off, that's all I'm fixin to do" and the constant chant of "Break Da Law". Halfway through the song, Frayser Boy drops a verse and then DJ Paul drops a verse. The last 2 minutes of the song is basically the "Break Da Law" chanting and DJ Paul's "Blow a nigga's ass off..." and then some shout outs to the different areas of Memphis, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, and Mississippi.
6. Flaugin Azz Niggas/Bitches-- this is a LaChat solo track. LaChat drops some nice verses over an eerie beat.
7. Glock In My Draws-- Frayser Boy drops couple of tight verses over the music to Unsolved Mysteries. DJ Paul provides the hook. Frayser kinda sounds like Project Pat to me on this track.
8. Where Is Da Bud Part II-- this is almost the same version from Lord Infamous's underground tapes. It sounds a lot cleaner to listen to coming on a CD. Hook is still the same--"where is da budddd...where is da bud...where is da bud". Man, I miss how Lord Infamous used to rap. This is how I wish he would rap on Three 6 Mafia's albums now.
9. Beat Down Intro-- skit
10. Beatin These Hoes Down-- this is another Lord Infamous underground track. Maybe they're getting us ready for Lord Infamous's solo. Again, a nice underground track to have on CD.
11. Twist it, Hit It, Lite It-- Lord Infamous & Crunchy Blac each drop a verse with DJ Paul doing the hook "grab me a Swisher so I can fill it up with weed". DJ Paul should have added a verse on this song.
12. DJ Paul-- this is an underground with no rappin in it. Just a bunch of mixes of beats with "DJ Paul" repeated over and over.
13. King Of Kings-- this is an HCP track featuring Lord Infamous, LaChat, Juicy J, Frayser Boy, Crunchy Blac, & DJ Paul. DJ Paul lets loose on all the haters and again proclaims himself "king of kings" and Lord Infamous "the lord of lord". This is one of the better HCP tracks that I've heard over the years. LaChat sounds like she swallowed a frog when she recorded this track though. Everyone else drops really tight verses including Crunchy Blac who lets loose on those who said he can't rap.
14. Outro
This album is really short--less than an hour long. When I bought this, I had a feeling that there were going to be more newer songs than underground songs just because the commercial for the album played clips that sounded pretty new. Plus I could tell that the first single was a new track. But the lack of underground tracks makes me wonder why DJ Paul bothered to name this album "Underground 16: For Da Summa". This album very easily could have been the new HCP album. So buyer beware--if you are looking for old underground tracks like Triple 6 Mafia 1 & 2, don't buy this album. If you prefer to listen to Hypnotize Minds more recent material with tight production, you'll like this album (even though it's short).
