Review: :yellowcard: Flag on the Play. Seems that someone found new beats!!! :cheers:

Could it be that congratulations are in order? I was shocked! Someone finally called a track-MASTER!

Someone must have told Fat Joe that there were multiple beats in the world! Yep, they have!! This LP wasn’t half bad and he even pulled out a few hits, even if they are only for the “hood.” In Loyalty he goes back to his formula of comedy and vulgarity. As usual, if by the end of the CD you don’t know that he’s from the Bronx or represents Terror Squad, then you’re not listening.

Fat Joe, if you are coming out and trying to shine, then do so. Too many rappers guest starring and not enough of you showing talent. I’m all for hookin’ your people up but does he know anyone else to do a collaboration with? Can he truly afford to say that he won’t do an album with someone? If Tony Sunshine is going to be on almost 50% of the CD, maybe he should drop HIS OWN??

Compared to the last one that got reviewed, this wasn’t nauseating. Since Joey Crack ‘the Don’ discovered that other beats do exist, his CD has been more bearable to hear. Now I don’t feel like I’m hearing one song that just happens to be 54 minutes long; longer than your average Reggae Remix!! I didn’t have to fast forward on a continuous basis; only to avoid hearing Tony and Remy all through the entire thing.

I was impressed that you had a dedication to your lady, most artists sing as though they are single, but then again they don’t have to mention your spouse to the fans. Just don’t go out like Genuwine: “I’m not with her” but you both live together with pic’ney dem (child for Non-Caribbean folks)!

Please, don’t lose the number for your track-master. When the next LP comes around it will be a must used item. I’ll be staying on top of my local bootlegger Street Vendor for the next one!

Joey Crack cracks 7 blades for this piece of work.

P.S. What’s up with beep
over 12 times in one song alone. Ran out of words? Dang….

SIDE NOTE: If anyone can find an album where the focus artist was HIMSELF and he doesn’t feel like he forgot his address or who his friends are, please let me know so that he might have a chance at 8.5 blades or higher, even if it does have the same dang beat!
