A 4th Quarter Comeback?



Jim Jones Hustler’s P.O.M.E.
Jones’ third album in as many years would have you believe he’s holding his weight. While he barely holds his own as an actual rapper, he knows as well as anyone else: his antics are entertaining; we’re all having a good time laughing at him and the joke’s on him. Regardless if you’re a Dipset fan or not Jones’ newfound style is a breath of fresh air. Although, Jones’ ‘Ballin’ ain’t so; the fun only lasts a few songs. A plus is “Pin the Tail”, a track featuring the Dipset. By the end of “Reppin Time”, you’re ready to throw this as far as possible. The album contains a few worthy tracks as it starts out high, “Intro”, but the best was oddly left off the album. The remixes of “Fly High”, “Fly High w/ TI, Diddy, Dro and Baby” and “Fly High w/Don Omar, Daddy Yankee and Tego” are divert your attention away from Jimmy, which is always a good thing. Two glaring absentees, “Black Superman and Credibility” were sorely missed. And in fact the album should have been a duet album with Max B. Jone’s "POME" is a huge improvent over last years "Diary", yet each album contains the exact same material. Sorry Jimmy what you want me to do. Dry those tears, just keep Bawlin.

Fat Joe Me, Myself and I
Joey knows better. I was waiting for this one, as "All or Nothing" showed Joey was on the come-up. Yet this time he thought he was ready for a classic? With 12 tracks and few features (and not from NY), he used the formula that has worked so many others: when you’re ready, do IT yourself. His content is, to the dismay of others, much the same: shooting, trials, guns. Yada, yada, yada. It was a good attempt, Joey, just not a valiant one. Few songs will stick. No club or up-tempo songs? “Make it Rain” w/ Weezy wasn’t much of a real single. The production should have varied, as the Street Runners and Grind Music take over. The opening is decent “Pandemic” and "Damn" bangs. His other song with Weezy “The Profit” and “Hard to Kill” have repeat listen stamped all over. "Me, Myself and I" isn’t bad, it’s just nothing to miss. Joey comes as usual, but just not with the intensity you’d expect he was capable of.
