1. “Kings Of Crunk (Intro)” Lil Jon getting things started a tight beat playing in the background……
2. “Throw It Up” has a nice symphonic get up type feel to it. Lil Jon and Pastor get it started with some chanting and some pre crunkness. Lil Jon lays down the hook for this one basically what he know for that get crunk and lets get ready to rumble shit. Pastor Troy lays it down on this track more mellow than he usually is on this track I was expecting him to sound mad and get this track crunk as fuck but he still comes good.
3. “Knockin Heads Off” sort of a mid tempo feel to the beat kind of slow. This track features Jadakiss and Styles P. Jadakiss starts this track out and he rips the shit he sounds good over the beat good shit. Lil Jon does the hook and its some of that crunk shit you already knowing. Makes you want to get crunk and start fighting for the most part. Styles comes in towards the end of this track and he lays down a clean verse for his part overall a pretty tight track right here.
4. “Pimpin Ken Speaks” Pimping Ken calls in and he speaking to Lil Jon about how people trying to hate on him and he just giving a big fuck you.
5. “Bitch” has another get up type beat you should already know. The hook is done by Lil Jon sounds like it samples Pimp C on it. Lil Jon and Eastide Boys come pretty good all throughout on this track basically saying bitch all throughout this one with some raps. Too Shot and Chyna Whyte are featured on this one. Chyan Whyte comes with the heat on this one she spits hard everytiem I hear her cant wait for her solo. Too Short comes aight I think Lil Jon’s beats are a little too crunk for his laid back flow.
6. “I Don’t Give A Fuck” the single right chea and the beat has sort of a lullaby crunk feel good shit for the club. Lil Jon and Eastside Boys get it crunk all throughout this one. Krayzie Bone drops some fast ass flows for his verse, does not even sound too bad being on a Lil Jon beat. Mystikal comes straight on this one and overall a banging track look for the video on this one.
7. “Rep Yo City” has sort of a represent get up feel on the beat. This track was on E-40’s album if you have not heard this song you probably living in the ice age. A tight track if you have not heard it features E-40, Petey Pablo, Bun B & Eightball.
8. “Push That Nigga, Push That Hoe” it samples a popular beat on this one just ant place from what tight beat though. A solo cut right here by Lil Jon & Eastside Boyz and they rip this one for sure. This is that straight get crunk type shit for sure it makes you want to just start throwing them bows, pick up them damn chairs and rush somebody type shit. Some crunk shit right here worth a peep for sure.
9. “Keep Yo Chullin Out The Street” real laid back beat not much to it. This track features Big Gipp and for the most part its just like an interlude he just drops a quick verse and that’s about it.
10. “Diamonds” has a mid tempo style beat has some laid back guitar going to it. This track features MJG and Bun B. Two legends right here laying it down to a good beat and they both lay it down nicely. It sounds like the track has a little slowed down effect to it. This is one of the more mellow tracks on the album and its very much worth a check good shit overall on this one.
11. “Weedman (Skit)” weed skit nothing too great…
12. “The Weedman” real real real laid back shit on this beat some real great smoke shit. This shit would go great for the smoke sessions for sure. Mostly just some laid back singing about that Dro all throughout this one. This track is most definitely worth a peep I can see this song is going to be a hit for all the smokers worldwide.
13. “Nothing On” another real laid back beat right here, its on that R&B type tip. This track features Oobie, Chyna White, and Bo Hagen. Oobie starts the track off with singing she gots that real pretty voice to her she going to be good when she come out on the solo tip. Chyna White comes with some more of ruff rugged flow about getting some for the most part. Oobie does the hook on this one and she is followed by Lil Jon and he comes pretty good gets the track more lively. A pretty good track right here on a slower tip but pretty tight.
14. “Luke Talkin Shit” Uncle Luke up in this bitch
15. “Ooh Na Na Naa Naa” some more of that laid back R&B type shit right here. This track is done by Oobie and Devin. Oobie starts this track out she sings her ass off some very good shit by her the females going to love this shit. Devin comes in to represent for the guys on this track and lays it down nicely always good shit by Devin. Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz end things out on this track he could of honestly been left off this track and it would have been better. This track could be a big hit get some radio play and a video and devin and Oobie will be the next Ja Rule and Ashanti type shit.
16. “Nothins Free” this track has been on every damn album except the first one. They just remix this shit every time with something new. If you have not heard this song and you listen to Lil Jon then something is really wrong. The song is pretty good but I think has out lived its time…..three times in row. If you have not heard it enjoy not a bad track.
17. “Play No Games” has a real nice mid tempo beat some more of that radio R&B twist stuff. This track features Fat Joe, Trick Daddy, and Oobie. Fat Joe starts out the track and he spit’s a good clean verse good shit by him. Trick Daddy follows up and a good verse by him as well. Oobie handles the hook on this one, Lil Jon ends things out on this one not too bad on his part but he does not really need to be on slower tracks like this though its not really his shit.
18. “Pitbulls Cuban Rideout” a real simple beat on this one some symphonic type stuff with a decent baseline. This track features Pitbull and is pretty much like an interlude where he spit’s a verse should have been left off it was pretty much trash.
19. “Get Low” This track has a tight beat going to it some of that mid tempo crunk type shit. Ying Yang Twins is featured on this track and its been a big year for them with all kinds of hits behind their belt. This track is another potential hit for sure they lay it down nicely. Lil Jon comes good on this one as well overall another tight track right here.
20. “T.I.P” TI calls in and just gives a shout out to Lil Jon for the most part
21. “BME Click” mid tempo beat has that sort of semi crunk feel to it. This track is done by the BME All Stars and they all come pretty decent on this track nothing too great on their parts. The track is long as fuck its like 7 minutes long. Its worth a peep it just was not really hitting on much.
Overall the production by Lil Jon was very good for the most part he flipped it with the crunk shit on half the album and on the other half he did some slower tracks. This album could be considered a compilation in a way of sorts because it features someone on nearly every track. If you don’t know by now Lil Jon and Eastside Boyz don’t do much rapping a little here and their. They mostly do some hooks and some chant get buck type shit. The album is full of hits from front to back its got slow cuts and get buck cuts. However Lil Jon decides to take it he has got some guaranteed hits on this one. If your not a fan of Lil Jon then this album is for sure not for you but if you are pick this album up its his best overall work yet.
