See...after hearing albums like this one, I regret not following my dream of becoming a record producer...the industry really needs some help because if this is the future of music, I will go hide in a cave. Now...so I don't make any contradictions, I need to state something right off the bat. "We Are Young Money" receives an "average" rating because of the production value and some of the artists who perform. Keep in mind that YOUNG MONEY itself is made up of several people who are part of the label with the same name... "Young Money Entertainment". Those performers range widely from "losers" to "wonders" and they include Lil' Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Jae Millz, Mack Maine, Tyga, Gudda Gudda, Lil' Chuckee, Lil' Twist, Shanell, Short Dawg, and T-Streets. If it wasn't for some of these artists, I would've been quick to dismiss this CD. So don't get it twisted when I describe how ridiculous and comical "We Are Young Money" really is.
People who said years ago that rappers weren't educated based their opinions on the idiocies that came out of said rappers' mouths. I have to be bold and agree...now, not every rapper out there is ignorant...that is true. But really...do I need to hear lyrics like "...she jump up on that dick and get her trampoline on" ("Wife Beater"), "flow tighter than a dick in the butt", and "Is that why you gettin' more head than shampoos?" ("Roger That")? Come on now...you just sound beyond stupid. Rappers have lost their way with words and are now doing nothing but abusing the English language...it truly is "laugh-out-loud" material as nothing I hear on this album can be taken seriously.
Lil' Wayne needs to re-invent himself. He is altogether a confusing person to understand when he raps because he doesn't form words properly...everything that comes out of his mouth is nothing but slurred nonsense...not to mention that Autotune is his best friend, making it harder to decipher anything that comes out of his damn mouth. (Maybe that's why his album keeps getting pushed back? Or maybe it's that if his album "Rebirth" ends up sounding like the unfathomably absurd Rock track on THIS album called "Play In My Band", the label knows ain't nobody gonna buy his shit!) Drake and Jae Millz are the only ones I truly appreciate on this album...and Nicki Minaj, sweetheart...the days of Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, Trina, and Remy Ma are done with. What makes you think you're gonna trump the likes of them? Everybody else...I'm sorry, who are you and why are you on this album?
The titles of the songs themselves don't even spark curiosity in me... "New Shit", "Fuck the Bullshit", "Pass the Dutch" ...again, really? None of this is original. I'm sorry...I'll pass up the offer to listen to any of this if it gets presented to me again. DRAKE...he's the only who is really talented out of the whole group...and maybe Lil' Wayne if he could get me to stop calling him a "drunken project roach that won't die no matter how many times you try to kill it..."
Oh yeah, Lloyd, Birdman, Gucci Mane, and Pleasure P all make guest appearances on the album...and just like I forgot to mention them until now in this review...I completely miss the fact that they are featured on "We Are Young Money".
