Juicy J and Project Pat, Convicted Felons
» Getting drug-drenched horrorcore right.
Juicy J and Project Pat along with guests like Gucci Mane, Slim Thug and OJ Da Juiceman, do a whole lot of getting it right.
You start to get fed up with the Triple 6 sometimes what with the incessant lineup changes (read: kicking friends out the band), popularity of stupid fucking ironic shirts, their inexplicable Oscar win and let’s not forget the MTV reality/docudrama Adventures in Hollyhood (OK, that one gets a pass). But man when they get it right, they just get it right.
On Convicted Felons, brothers Juicy J and Project Pat, along with guests like Gucci Mane, Slim Thug and OJ Da Juiceman, do a whole lot of getting it right. The tape grabs you by both nostrils with "I Fuck Wit (Cocaine Snorters)" and doesn't let go until it’s good and ready to. Stylistically it's definitely an updated return to horrorcore raps and murderous beats that started on last year’s Cut Throat tape. And even though the cover art on this one doesn’t go quite as hard as that one, the music stands up pound for pound.
Songs like “Smith and Wesson,” “Imma Try To Rob You” and “Old Triple Six” bang as hard as anything off of Mystic Styles while other songs update the Three Six formula for today's listeners. Other standouts include the souled out beat and Slim Thug verse on “Ike Turner Pimpin” and pretty much every Project Pat verse. There’s even a nod to the Black Boy White Boy/Futuristic Swag movement of yestersummer on “Pesos”. So what are you waiting for? Go get that… here.
