Rida's debut album, Mail on Sunday. As soon as I heard this dudes
flow on "Low" I knew that he would probably have a dope cd. Before
his album came out I downloaded a mxitape of his and I enjoyed it,
so it had me really hyped for the album. When second single
"Elevator" leaked I played it non stop. I knew this was going to be
one of the huge singles of 2008 and it was! While this cd may not
display huge lyrical content, its still a great cd to bump and rock
out to. Flo Rida's flow is amazing and keeps you entertained the
entire cd.
1.Superstar (feat. Lil Wayne)
This is a great opening sound. The beat is crazy. One of the most
important things in a good album is to have a great opening song.
Flo Rida definitely delivers on this. Waynes and Flo Rida provide a
perfect chorus. Most of the time Wayne annoys the hell out of me but
he's dope on this song.
"Heavy Metal For Them Boys
Plenty petals for them gals
Got An Appetite For Destruction
You Can Call Me Axel
Ask Me Bout What A N!gga Done Done
Ask Me Bout What A N!gga Do Well
Ask Me Were The Bricks Come From
That's What A Snitch N!gga Do They Tell
I Don't Want Nothing To Do With That Deal
If It's a lick them I'm Bringing Them Shells"
9/10
2.Ack Like You Know
This is a great second song. Flo continues to display his sick
rapping ability. The chorus is very catchy.
"Dog you aint ready for this
Machine thang ready to spit
I ain't just tellin you shit
peep game look at my wrist"
Flo Rida franchise im like the pizza man
all about cheese full of dough
let me grease ya hands"
8/10
3.Elevator (feat. Timbaland)
This song is definitely one of my favorite singles of 2008. When I
heard Flo Rida was going to have a song produced by Timbaland I knew it was gonna be hot. The intro and outro of the song are produced perfectly. Pretty unique song too. How many club songs do you know that are about Elevators?
"She got her nails bid, she got her hair bid
She got a Gucci bag, her brand new outfit
Stuck on my elevator, she on the second floor
Now I want you to break it down, DJ turn it up some more
Hey, dime piece girl; True Religion, Ed Hardy
Little mama twerk that top model body
South Beach piece on the back of that Ducati
I'll bet you that brand new Ferrari"
10/10
4.Roll (feat. Sean Kingston)
When I saw the tracklist for this cd, this was one of the songs I
was looking foward to. Two brand new artists with very unique voices
on a track. What more could you ask for?
"Thousand dollar chips
for ya thousand dollar hips,
got these thousand dollar gifts
need more thousand dollar tips,
ill be your supplier,
spinnit like a dryer,
roll for me baby be my Nascar tire"
8.5/10.
5.Low
This track is of course the first single. You can't go wrong with
T-Pain on the hook. This is one of those songs you get tired of
though. I don't think this song reflects the quality of the cd that
well. Its a good song but there are so many better songs on the
album. This song does get credit for making me interested in Flo
Ridas album though. The way he spit the verse below made me want to hear more from him.
"Thats what I told her,
her legs on my shoulder,
I knew it was over,
that henni and cola got me like a soldier
she ready for rover,
i couldn't control her,
so lucky on me I was like a clover,
shawty was hot like a toaster
sorry but I had to fold her,
like a pornagraphy poster,
she showed her"
7.5/10.
6.Priceless (feat. Birdman)
This is a really really dope track. Flo Rida's flow is a bit
different on this from previous songs. The only thing that keeps
this song from being better is Birdman. His verse is horrible. Flo
Rida is spitting his fast flow all over the track and then Birdman
comes in and starts rapping slow as hell. It Sounds really dumb.
This song has grown on me over time. At first I couldn't stand it
all. Flo Rida's beginning bars are on point.
"Pulled up out the projects
Hustling as the object
you aint talkin cash
then you better switch the topic
bitch n!gga stop it
go ahead and cop it
money in the bag
call it takin out the garbage"
7/10
7.Ms. Hangover
This is a very creative song. I love the idea behind it. Flo Rida
talks about girls hanging him over, and different parts of their
bodies as different alcoholic beverages.
Chorus
"She had Hennessy hips, and Belve' eyes
Grey Goose on her lips, and cognac thighs
I'm hungover (hungover) from Ms. Hangover (Hangover)
She had a bubble like Cris', Patron all night
Had one mo' sip, too drunk to drive
I'm hungover (hungover) from Ms. Hangover (Hangover)"
9/10
8.Still Missin
This is hands down my favorite song on the album. The chourus is one of the most unique choruses I've heard in a while. Only someone like Flo would come out with a song like this. Flo Rida talks about girls and himself as tools in a shed.
Chorus
"My lawnmower home,
but my hoe's still missin',
My rake's in the shed,
but my hoe's still missin',
Plow in the world,
but my hoe's still missin', .
I'm 'bout to lose my head
'cause my hoe's still missin,
like it's greener on the other side"
"That hoe cost me my job,
I'm afraid I shoulda learned mo' about the business.
A hoe is good for diggin',
I shoulda know this from the beginnin'"
10/10
9. In the Ayer (feat. Will.I.Am)
This is another great club record. This was his 3rd single and its
got a really catchy hook.
"There I go here I go yeah thats my song
DJ bring it back I'm in my zone
I get paid for them couple bonez
The next wop until the early morn"
8/10.
10.Me & U
Every rap record has got to have it's love song and this is it.
This is one of my least favorite songs but it fits in with the album
pretty good. I gotta admit Flo kills the entire last verse. I
couldn't go without posting all of it.
"I got your name tattooed
You think that's enough for me to go nuts like cashews
Not my soul, like we be callin' black fool
I mean damn who knows, you prolly fucked another dude
I gave you that rose, that ring when I proposed to you
Got rid of my gold teeth, 'cause your mom and them, oops
And shot at them fools who touched your brother, now Boo
And now you gon' tell me we should slow it down, who
Not Flo Rida, I provided Campbells' soup
When sick 'bout to die, I spoon-fed you Theraflu
You gotsa be high, woman, I ain't 'bout to lose
Get out this house, I pay tuition on ya school
I mean to my knowledge, until the end it's Me and You"
8/10.
11.All My Life
Here's another good song. Flo Rida is talking about the bullshit he
had to deal with all his life while making it to the top. Its got a
great chorus as well. Its got a nice 2nd hook at the end that leads
in to him starting every line with "All My Life".
"Sitting here, reminiscing,
of all the nights i had to grind
Taking chances with the system,
I put my whole life on the line
All my life know it ain't been sweet
All my life i been in the streets
All my life up against concrete
All my life mama gave me the speech
All my life somebody died every week
All my life ducking the police
All my life without soda i weeped
All my life no first class seats"
8.5/10.
12.Don't Know How to Act (feat. Young Joc)
When I saw this song on the tracklist I was a bit disapointed. I'm
not a fan at all of Young Joc. He's totally subpar to me. I was
relieved to find out he only did the chours. He actually does a good
job at it as well. Flo Rida changes it up by rapping even faster
than normal. This song has a similar chorus to "Ack Like You Know"
but I've come to enjoy it more than the ladder.
"I'm a doughnut n!gga like glaze
On the couch like this my stage
Cake money dont get a n!gga paid in Dade
They probably see minimum wage
My deal is ace of spades
But I still like grape kool-aid
I aint really got manners
I'm probably just like a rave"
8.5/10.
13. Freaky Deaky (feat. Trey Songz)
I love Trey Songs on features. He's a really great singer. Probably
one of my top 5 rnb singers. I really don't like this song though.
It's a little bit too soft for me. Flo even raps slower on this
song.
"Yeah I know you probably got a man
But yousa hottie long legs like kalamari
look so tasty tasty"
7.5/10
14.Money Right (feat. Rick Ross & Brisco)
Every album also needs a song with a group of rappers throwing out
hot verses back to back. This is one of them. Flo Rida starts the
song out with a dope verse.
"Everythings saved gotta walk in safe
Treadmill rappers still runnin in place
All these meals I can share my plate
Flo Rida full yeah I already ate"
Rick Ross has a hilarious verse in this song. His line at the end of
his rap cracks me up everytime. This has got to be the fastest I've
ever heard him rap. His flow here is exactly like Project Pat's.
"Gotta problem n!gga holla
I'ma holla ima solve it
My revolver blocka blocka
Your impalla bell hopper
Ima shopper nonstoppa
All this shit that ima coppa
Suckin dick you cant stoppa
doin tricks with big poppa"
8.5/10
Final Score:
8.4/10
Alot of people probably don't understand Why I even included this cd
in my top 5. I enjoy all types of music as well as all types of hip
hop. Sure this is your typical poppy club rap but Flo Rida's flow
makes it worth a listen. He keeps you entertained throughout the
whole cd. All the beats go great with his voice. It's definitely
worth checking out. Don't base the cd on the songs "Low" or "In the
Ayer." There are way better songs than those on the cd.
