Hit: 5 Stars
This was just a simple 'I have to have it A.S.A.P.!'. This was bought for a friend's Daughter...And she's been playing it to death! Not my cup of tea (I lean more towards 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's & 2000 Deep Soul, Soul, Blues, Jazz & Gospel Music). Expect several more Top Selling Albums/Singles from this artist....See how easy that was! Free Music Review: Between two extremes.

I was once someone who despised Yung Joc. As I listened to a large range of far more intelligent hip-hop, Joc seemed rather laughable in comparison; and to be completely honest, Joc is still a rather laughable character. However, I think a lot of hip-hop heads are taking that as far too much a negative. Like Young Jeezy and Mike Jones before him, Joc is a borderline horrible emcee, with enough charisma to cross-over to a commercial market. Joc is by no means a great rapper; he's struggling for average. However, he is quirky enough, and unintentionally humerous to appeal to hip-hop heads willing to listen to the music for fun.
Joc dropping knowledge would be blasphemous to his record label(the man IS signed to Bad Boy, after all; a label that specializes in commercial friendly hip-hop, with the only notable exceptions being B.I.G., Shyne, and G. Dep), but what he does, he does well enough to warrant him a spot in hip-hop's current market. More skilled than the likes of the Ying Yang Twins and Dem Franchize Boyz, but not nearly as talented as T.I. or Chamillionaire, Yung Joc falls into the same category as Young Dro and Young Jeezy(many 'young' emcees[no pun intended] here, eh?) as mediocre emcees who still have the ability to, at the very least, release catchy pop-oriented rap that isn't completely fodder.
Joc's the next in a long-line of coke-dealing emcees, although he's certainly no Pusha-T or Raekwon; instead, his tales of peddling are brief, and mostly focus on whatever 'glamorous' side there is to it. Beyond that, he's got cars and broads; he doesn't go any deeper than that for the most part, however, in all of this lyrical mediocrity, there are genuine flashes of potential, that show Joc may very well only be hindered by a gimmick Diddy saddled him with.
The production is, for the most part, decent. Most of it is very minimalistic, but the simplicity isn't neccessarily a bad thing. Most of the beats are catchy enough not to offend, and Joc sounds at home over them. Contrary to popular belief, most of these tracks do NOT fall under the snap category; neither snap nor crunk, they possess the same 'trap' backgrounds best examplified by T.I.'s breakthrough hit in 2003, Rubberband Man, which has since become the staple for trap-rap production.
I know a lot of people hate Joc, and even have good reasons for it; however, you can do worse(must I remind you that Bow Wow, Jibbs, and Webbie all still have careers?), and Joc still has genuine potential hidden underneath the corniness. This album isn't for the headphones, but it serves its purpose well enough.

Yung Jocstrap is probably the worst "rapper" out of the south(for now)right now. Its Goin Down is the lamest club record since.....Ray J's Wait A Minute! The elementary lyrics plus the nonbeat provided Nitti(whose so-called beats all sound the same)or S****i(you be the judge)makes you scratch your head like how can people buy into this s***? I Know You See It suffers from the same flaws as Its Goin Down: Kiddie Lyrics and an Ice cream truck sounding beat plus Miss B Havin should have thrown in the towel since Bottle Action. Now for all you of saying I shouldnt judge this album based on those two songs fine. I'll judge based on these. Filler: Hear me comin, Do Ya bad(boring beat and bland lyrics about his pseudo bravado), Knock it out(juvenile sex record. The worst since Cam'ron's Suck it or not), Picture Perfect(Dumb Joc trying to teach you something? Who does he think he is kidding?), Flip Flops, Dope Boy Majic(Dope Boy Garbage), Dont Play With It(dull song with a hook that sounds exactly like David Banner's Play). Bottom Line: Definetly one on the worst albums of 2006. Childish lyrics, awkward sounding beats pretty much sum up this album. Dont waste precious time on this jocless joc. You and I know this album is dookiechute so flip this teenage mutant ninja turtle looking motherf****r the bird and keep it moving!Free Music Review: Trash
Hit: 1 Stars
This album is almost as bad as D4L's album Down 4 Life and is worse than Dem Franchize Boyz On Top of Our Game. Yes you heard me correctly, it is even worse then On Top of our Game which is almost a miraculous feat. In other words, don't buy this trash. The odd chance you do like it I also suggest Kevin Federline's new album Playing With Fire.
