2006
TRASH BIN |
|
|
1.
Kevin Federline – Playing With Fire: Sorry K Fed… Since
Britney left you, your street pass has been revoked! Who told you can rap?
Who told you to waste Scott Storch & JR Rotem’s production? Why
are you so blatant about your gigolo status? Why did we even listen to this
album? The list of questions speaks in volumes. Hands down the worst album
of 2006. |

2.
Ron Artest – My World: Does every b-baller look at Shaq and
say, “I can rap and play ball too!” Well Shaq does both pretty
good. And when Ron is not suspended, he’s just aight on the court
and when Ron is in the booth, it’s hot trash… Like Jay-Z said,
“Men lie and women lie, but the numbers don’t.” With one
unit sold (According to SoundScan) in the first week; this album was a silent
flop. Not to mention the cliché raps and mediocre production on the
album. YUCK… |

3.
Xzibit – Full Circle: Who told Xzibit to
make another album? After his classic debut, defection from the Alkoholiks
crew and then a brief and less than memorable stint with Dr. Dre- What makes
Xzibit think he can just come back and rap again? He’s been fixing
cars for a while now and he should stick to it! We still shed a tear over
all the top notch Dre beats he wasted over the years… Now it’s
come, “Full Circle.” |

4.
Chingy – Hoodstar: BDS spins out the butt for that single
with Tyrese, but no SoundScan. Chingy suffers from what we call “Mainstream
Meltdown.” Milk a hot single and then rush the album out to get numbers
early. Well, historically this formula never works. And honestly there isn’t
a record on this project that we can remember besides the first single.
What a daam shame. |

5.
Young Dro – Best Thang Smokin’: Went
from obscurity to T.I.’s right hand man in less then a year. Overall
Dro isn’t terrible… Well besides taking fashion tips from a
gay caddy… But his debut was more like a bad clone of a T.I. album
rather than a stand alone debut. Not to say that his catchy “Shoulder
Lean” song wasn’t a smash, but the follow up “Rubberband
Banks” was a bit too rubbery for us to swallow. And since when do
they make Diamonds in Tokyo? |

6.
Ying Yang Twins – Chemically Imbalanced: What year end trash
bin would be complete without the brothers Ying & Yang? |
|
7.
Lady Sovereign – Public Warning: Is this
one of Jay-Z’s misguided cues from his new homie Gwyneth Platrow?
How did this young lady get a deal and major distribution in the states?
She was pegged as a “UK/female version of Eminem” when she first
popped up. We peg her as a terrible rapper. The accent was cute, but the
music was hardly something we could stand for more than 10 mins.

8.
LL Cool J – Todd Smith: Mr. Consistency has lost his way.
Over all not his best effort, but the buzz was killed even more over his
whining about his label status. LL got two budget breaking videos and more
mainstream press then needed for a guy who’s sold millions already
and he still put his label on blast. So maybe it was the music that wasn’t
cutting it on this project L??? Just maybe… Let’s see if 2007
will fair differently for the G.O.A.T... |
|
9.
Bubba Sparxxx – The Charm: Bubba fell off
the wagon with this record- “Ms. New Booty” indeed… This
by far was his worst effort ever. Coming off a critically success sophomore
album to this wasn’t a good look. It seemed like Bubba was after sales/radio
spins on this and it didn’t work to his advantage. |
|
10.
Field Mob – Light Poles & Pine Trees & Shawnna – Block
Music (TIE):
Ludacris has tried for almost four years to get his crew some recognition,
but to no avail… Field Mob’s career took a 180 degree turn when
they signed to DTP and Shawnna (even with a smash record) couldn’t
cut it on the mainstream for a second time. Talented people, but it looks
like projects that Ludacris “co-signs” on lately seem to flop.

Robin Thicke - Ms. Sexy
