Rolling Stones Top 200 Rap Albums of All-Time - 400 DEGREEZ by Juvenile

  

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

Rolling Stone Ranking:  68
