The beat that got CM major props alongside ‘HA’.
Back That Azz Up w/Mannie Fresh & Lil’ Wayne (4.25) A classic track that could of had great potential as a single and ideal for the gangsta rap listener of today, Cash Money fan or not.ġ3. The raps are all on point by all rappers and the production delivers a deep Cash Money beat funky and gangsta rolled into one hot 5 minutes of flamming heat by part of the Hot Boys. This track has to be in the top 3 of the album’s best let alone Juve’s profile of tracks as the beat is slamming high on fire. Rich Niggaz w/Turk, Lil’ Wayne & Paparue (5.03) The second edition to the infamous ‘HA’ track is perfectly remixed with a Mannie beat which is definately FRESH! The Hot Boys callaborate with their much older and experienced partner Juve as they follow in his footsteps in this remix that clearly out shines the original lyrically though the beat in the original cant be beaten as Jay-Z later showcases.ġ2. The production though in this track has to get the credit though Juve does holla the ‘Run For It’ anthem in a few songs on the album. The song is another highlight as Lil’ Wayne & Juve rip the mic up together with perfection. All members do a perfect job on this song and it has to be a highlight for the album as they all represent their sets on the N.O streets.Ĭash Money beat mixed with the tweaks and clangs of Westcoast/Bay Area sounds you expect to hear in a E-40 track.
The song contains a sample of trumpets which blow out the track sounding similar to the movie ‘Rocky’ main anthem song.Ī classic track for the Cash Money group as the whole label connects to bring a gangsta beat to the album with the funky flow of Hot Boy members Lil’ Wayne, Young Turk & B.G. Turk does an excellent job on rapping and comes close to out doing Juvenile in the song, although Juve has a special style that only he can deliver. The high paced South Style beats that CM was responsible for is a perfect example in this track. The rapping is quite good but the beat fails to gain any major attention at all making this track nothing really special and quite poor.Ī typical Cash Money track which kept the label on top especially when it came to club bangers.
With a Latino heat added to the beat mixed with Cash Money clicks this track is a unique beat brought to the listener from the production team of Williams & Fresh. Juvenile’s flow on this track is on target and the rapping is on point as he also once again hits the hooks. Juve does a nice job on this track and keeps the beat buzzing.Īs the album continues the beats stay really smooth such as this beat which has the slight touch of a Westcoast spice added to it. The track is bangin literally with the Big Tymers & B.G spittin their game about Flossin and showing that shit off. Flossin Season w/Big Tymers & B.G (4.33)Īnother tight track laced with a funky touch that Fresh can only do. This track was most recognized for the gangsta style content Juve spits about riding with his gun till death as it is the only thing that will be by his side until he dies as he swiftly laces the hook: “My nine is gonna die with me, do a homicide with me, pick up the supply with me, be up in the ride with me…who me?”.Ġ4. Juve does a great job at keepin the track smooth and running on track. Juve fails to bring the beat alive with a lack of flow on majority of the beat making the original the weakest of the three versions apart from the tight hook and production.Ī great production from Mannie Fresh as he brings the listener a nice smooth Cash Money beat. Unfortunately this version of this track is very poor compared to the Remix versions with Jay-Z & Hot Boys, lyrically. The track that put Cash Money and Juve on the map. The album starts off with the famous Big Tymers Introduction which became a common thing on most Cash Money Albums in the future to come.
