Number 68 popped out of the random number generator, and that is 1998's 400 Degreez by Juvenile. I know this album; I love this album; I have not listend to this album in a long time.
First Track: Intro
Start: Catchy beat, 2:13 long, but still really just an introduction to Juvenile.
Real First Track: Ha!
Real Start: Great song to kick-off this album.
Best Attribute: Fun beats that match Juvenile's lyrical style to a "T".
Worst Attribute: Some of the songs can seem pretty monotonous at times.
Best Song: Flossin' Season - I know you thought I was going to put Back That Azz Up here, but Flossin' Season is great all around; the lyrical flow (more than the lyrics themselves) with great production.
Worst Song: "U.P.T." - It is really hard to ignore the video games (probably from Qbert?) sounds in the background.
Most Interesting Song: Gone Ride With Me - Great use of the piano, of all things!
Most Interesting Quality: Three different versions of Ha! All with different features and styles.
Would I listen again: Definitely! Been too long since the last listen already. Forgot just how good Juvenile is.
Who would I like to Re-Make/Re-Imagine this Album: If I wanted it smoothed out - Nelly; If I wanted it harder - DMX
