Seen this from a mile away.
The Ying Yang Twins have really been a plague on hip-hop; they opened the doors for the D4L's, Dem Franchize Boyz, and Jibbs' of the world. Sure, there were wack emcees long before the Ying Yang Twins ever came onto the scene, but the entire 'snap' genre basically derived from the Ying Yang Twins; D4L and DFB can argue all they want, but neither created this sub-genre of hip-hop. The Ying Yang Twins did, and that reason alone is enough to condemn them to bargain bin sales. <

>Now, granted, I'm not part of their targeted audience; I'm a head who's grown up with the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan, Big L, Mic Geronimo, and Jeru the Damaja. However, at the same time, I'm not a certified hater of most mainstream hip-hop; there's a couple dozen commercial acts I can appreciate. Unfortunatey for Kaine, D-Roc, and most of all, myself when listening to this album, the Ying Yang Twins aren't part of that group. But, even the biggerst of Twin haters has to admit this music was made for the clubs, and no where but the clubs; and it was directed strictly at the women who love to shake their *sses. Granted, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that this album is a glorified doorstop outside of clubs. <

>At times, the Ying Yang Twins do show - believe it or not - growth. Live Again and Long Time(both back to back tracks) show they have their hearts in the right place; they just can't get the rest of their mind, body, nor soul there. Those tracks are two shining moments on the album, if only for the guest appearances from Adam Levine(who sounds at home yet again on a hip-hop release, oddly enough) and the soulful crooner, Anthony Hamilton. They also show that, at the very least, they can think of innovative ways to say the same damn thing, as on "Wait(The Whisper Song)" - the approach they took can be respected, but the lyrics are borderline retarded, even for YYT standards; come on, "beat the ***** up" being whispered nonsensically ten to twelve times in a row? This takes misogony to another level. <

>"Badd" manages to succeed on Ying Yang standards thanks to a guest appearance from Mike Jones(who nearly sounds average when paired with the Ying Yang Twins; quite a step-up!), and "Shake" is also your typical YYT song, with a guest appearance from Pitbull. To be perfectly honest, this is about your typical Ying Yang Twins album; which isn't a good thing. It's probably the best of their five released albums, but as the rating would imply, that's not neccessarily a good bunch. The few moments of sincerity, and original ideas save this from one star territory, but I still wouldn't recommend this to anyone other than a female wanting to shake what her mama gave her.

Do my ears deceive me?
Standout tracks: LIVE AGAIN, GHETTO CLASSICS, 23HR LOCKDOWN, WAIT(creative for a ying yang song), THE WALK, BADD, PUT THAT THANG DOWN, SHAKE, MY BROTHER'S KEEPER etc. Filler: Long time(too churchy), F**k the ying yang twins(worst anti-hater record ever made),Pull my hair(GROSS plus thats not even a beat!), Bedroom Boom(softest f**k song ever made), Hoes and U.S.A. Bottom line: I cant lie to you I was never a fan of the ying yang twins. I always equated them to be hip hop's Beavis and Butthead but D-roc and Kaine stop being Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber for a brief moment and put together an okay effort. Songs like Live Again, Ghetto Classics and 23hr Lockdown have little gems in them which is kind of surprise because they have been playing the role of Pinky and the Brain since they first came in the game. Congratulations Ying Yang you've finally made a decent album. Dont f**k it up!

HAHA! A modern minstrel show indeed...
Wow so in history class they told me because of its racist themes and such that minstrel shows are long gone but they obviously haven't heard THIS trash. <

>Sheesh, where do I even begin? You thought Fiddy was bad? How about Chingy? Lil Jon? Nope, they're not nearly as bad as these wastes of flesh. These guys are a disgrace to the black race, Aaron McGruder is totally right (creator of the Boondocks) if Martin Luther King Jr. did somehow get resurrected he would definitely scoff at the state of Black America, perhaps it was a tad exaggerated but it still made an excellent point. Afterall it was Chris rock that said, "There are black people and there's n***ers!" Then everyone in the audience laughed their *sses off because it's true. Unfortunately these guys fall in the latter group. <

>Don't give me that rubbish on how it's just the music, no way folks, this goes far beyond the music itself. This is a reflection of the sad state our society is in. Ok people you want to talk about the actual MUSIC? We shall then, but these cliched annoying 'beats' lack so much substance that I'm just wasting text space talking about the 'music'. The lyrics? They bring new meaning to the word STUPID. <
> <
>So there you have it, this logic pretty much applies to all their cds and anyone else like them (the aforementioned rap degenerates) they really take the cake for Retards of the Decade when we talk about "I Love the '00s" in 10 years. By the way check out the Boondocks, it's a great comic-turned-cartoon, it's very fresh and unique.
