My honest review of MMG's Self Made. Probably the funniest and direct ones to date!

http://www.thewidowspeakbandit.com/2012/06/honest-album-review-self-made-vol-2.html

Well.....For the seven people that bought Self Made Vol. 1,
you should know how this power team operates. They
have hard hitters (Rick Ross) Temper tantrumers, (Meek
Mill), and fake wise guys (Wale). Thats a great mix. This
new album however adds an interesting element; It has
the pop locking, Chris Bosh cousin Omarion. Does that
mean it's going to be a little popper than the first one?
Lets take a look in my newest review. LEGOOOOOO!!!!
1. Power Circle (3/5)
OOOOOOOO....So you think you can have a
soulful beat, a bunch of talented artists, and
secretly put out a lazy ass song?
If you want interested listeners why would you
start the album with Gunplay?
I mess with Stalleys Verse hard! He's so
gutter! He reminds me of that homeless guy
that dances for a dollar....Probably cause he
looks homeless. They say never judge a book
by it's cover....Well what if the book has no
cover, its been ripped off and has dirt marks
all over it? That's Stalley!
Classic Wale. Only guy that rapped
accordingly to the beat.
Meek Mills verse - Meh!
Kendrick Lamar - I think this clown is
overrated! He's slightly better than Cory
Gunz....ANd I think Cory Gunz sucks. All you
Kendrick Lamar fans, Tell me one thing you've
learned from a verse from him?
2. Black Magic (3.5/5)
Typical Meek Mill and Rick Ross Song. Beat
sounds like something from a horror movie.
Rick Ross on the chorus as usual, and that
same Ace Hood Flow. I like the concept
though.
Why does Rick Ross always think he's
someone? "David Copperfield", "Tupac", "MC
Hammer", "Big Meech"....Even himself on that
song called "this me"! This dude needs
therapy...He needs to find himself.
3. This Thing of Ours (5/5)
I love the BEAT! LOVE IT! The Casio 1985 Toy
Piano sound is classic!!!!
Rick Ross finally raps on this track. It's classic
Rick Ross flow too.
I don't like Omarion's voice for this song.
Needs a little more bass! Cause it sounding a
little like Nicki Minaj Super Bass Bass!
Nas verse is horrendous...Can do without him.
Honestly, Nas has not put up a good verse in
over a decade.
4. All Birds (4/5)
Once again the beat on this track is sick!
Rick Ross raps again, and is thug with it. I
believe his killing!
French Montana on the chorus......JEEZ The
Chorus is SO HARD (No Homo) I mess with
French Montana man (It was kinda hard to tell
when French Montana's verse started, but it's
all good lol)
Birds. These are like the Super Birds brothers.
They talk about birds and drugs like its Their
profession......
5. Actin' Up (2/5)
Never been a fan of the Opera music sound
that some people use on their tracks.
Meek Mill verse = YAWN Wale = YAWN
French Montana = Huh? The hell is this
hakeem Olajouwan ass n---a talking bout?
The Chorus is awful.
The song is extremely "skippable"
6. Fountain Of Youth (3/5)
Real chill song.
Stalley be goin' in. He might be my 2nd
favorite rapper in MMG for real.
Which one is Stalley and which one is Nipsey
Hussle? They sound the exact same.
Fountain of Youth has nothing to do with the
topic...Sorta like Programming has nothing to
do with Math (IT people understand)
7. I Be Puttin on (3/5)
WHOA! R-O-S-C-O-E is on this track?!!!!
YESSSSSS!!! He's the modern day Nate Dogg!
He be killin' verses lately.
Mark my word this song will be a club hit!
Wale killed it, Wiz was neeh (meaning
decent). French Montana actually had the best
verse in my opinion....I doubt ill ever say that
again.
8. The Zenith (3/5)
Omarion makes the song sound a little too
poppish. Ill say it again, I don't like this guys
voice for this album.
Wale: Not Seattle but they tryna steal my
Thunder! (Good One)
Rick Ross killed his verse too. The song is
blah!
9. M.I.A. (4/5)
Ok, Omarion sounds a little better for this
song. Its a lot more smoother.
I like this track! really smooth!
I know what you're thinking the whole time...Is
Wale going to kill it Definitely disappointed,
it was a lazy verse by him in my opinion.
10. Bag Of Money (4/5)
I Like this song! It takes some getting used to
with T-Pain's annoying ass, but once you get
passed it, it's a good song. What was T-Pain
thinking? O woah ew woah? What is this?
Some type of 1960's doo wop? damn Jigga!
Most gangsterous line of all time...."She gon
ride this d--k I had a long day"! I want you to
grab your girl and say that to her.....Negro she
would either like it, or commit a Flagarant foul
2 On your ass!
Rick Ross killed the chorus in my opinion for
real.
11. Let's Talk (2/5)
Biggie called...He said when he sees Omarion
and Rick Ross on the street he's gonna slap
the hell out of them for associating his voice
with this nonsense. What is the point of using
his sample?
This is starting to sound like Omarion presents
Billboards greatest pop albums. Over here
making Word up!/Right on Magazine records!
N---a this is Maybach Music Compilation not
the Billboard top songs of 2012 Album.
12. Black On Black (3/5)
Ironically Gunplay starts the Album off, but
you don't hear from him again until the 12th
song LOL Kinda reminds me of Robert
Horry.....Non existent, but when it comes to
the fourth quarter he shows up, makes a shot,
and becomes non existent again.
Ok....If the song says Gunplay ft. Bun B and
Ace Hood that must mean 17 people got shot
and 15 people got stabbed in route to the
studio.
Am I the only one that thinks Bun B tries to
hard to rhyme words?
13. Fluorescent Ink (4/5)
Good Song. It's a typical Maybach music
sound! Wale on the chorus!
Stalley killed it again.
Nothing really to say....Solid song
14. Bury Me a G
Rick Ross Yellin'! Damn I miss that! lol he
hasn't yelled like this since MC Hammer.
T.I. talking about Guns!!!! WHOA I haven't
heard that since King.
Well this is just a throwback song I guess!
Even the title sounds throwback....Bury me a
G! Who says that anymore?
Overall it's not an album album, so you can't be
disappointed by it's tracks.
It is just the right dose of everyone on it. It's enough Meek
Mill, It's enough Wale, Its just enough Gunplay which is
pretty much no Gunplay. It's a good mix/collaborative
album. If you were grading the album in terms of
listenability it's definitely a decent album. If you're
comparing it to different albums, it doesn't bode too well.
Well I'm kinda comparing albums on my Honest review,
and it's just decent.
5.8/10

OMG! "Bury me A G" is just too much. I pray he has a lot of those songs on "God Forgives, I Don't". The beat is boombastic while Ross and TIP are on point. Damn!

Its been on repeat in my ride.

When Tip and Ross collaborate its usually really tight.
