Album Review: Stat Quo- Statlanta

Three debut rap albums have came out so far this year, starting with the rock/pop influenced 'B.o.B Presents: the Adventures of Bobby Ray', which was the best out of the three, the second was Drake's day view, 'Thank Me Later' which was clearly one of the worst albums of all-time, and an insult to Thank Me Later's first single 'Over', and the third one was the long awaited Statlanta album by Stat Quo.

As I mentioned, Statlanta was a long awaited debut album, Stat Quo started recording for the album back in 2003, and the album was promised a 2006 release, but then there was nothing after that, then there was nothing to do except for weighting, it's been four years since Statlanta was promised, so four extra years recording an album means that it has to be good, but unfortionetly, I think that Statlanta was mixed at best.

The album opened with 'Classic Sh_t', a track which featured Eminem, but the song was unfortionetly not up to the level of my expectations, another track featuring Eminem called 'Atlanta on Fire' which was the album's best track, but again, it did not live up to any of their standards, the song was decent at best, another notable track on the album was called 'Cry' it was a more emotional track on the album, but the song unfortionetly lacked the beat.

The album had a few major fails, but not on a very high level, some tracks lacked lyrical meaning, some tracks lacked content, some tracks lacked a rhythm and beat, but the most painful tracks on the album do have one minor positive, for example, there is a track called 'What I Like' which was just four minutes of repetitivity, but what I liked about the song was the beat, another bed song with a few very minor positives is called 'Welcome Back' which had lyrical content, but lacked a rhythm and beat, and the rest of the album was pretty much mediocre.

Statlanta was generally mixed, the good tracks where not good enough to love, and the bad tracks where not bad enough to hate, so with very little positives as well a somewhat average to large amount of negatives in this album, as well as just one major guest appearance on two tracks, but both tracks where not as good as I expected, overall, I'd say that the album was mostly 'meh', I think that it's not as good as B.o.B's album, and allot better than Drake's album.
