 CD's A Classic Mar 23, 2007
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise. People weren't prepared for this street gem from the Bad Boy camp and expected something a little more mainstream from the Puffster. Instead Rob and camp hit folks over the head with some real tough music. The 4 1/2 mics in the source got my attention then, and looking back it's deserved. One of the best storytellers ever and most underrated, this CD is a gem from Bacardi Rob and the Bad Boy camp.
 Keep your Life Story to yourself, Robert (2 and 1/2 stars) Oct 18, 2006
I'll put it you like this: Black Rob can flow but the corny production does a disservice to him as an MC. He's better lyricist than G-Dookie and Mark Curry-goat. The first single Whoa was cool and Lookin At Us feat Cee-lo was tight. Life Story feat Cheryl Pepsi Riley, Muscle Game feat Mark Curry, Can I Live feat The Lox, You Dont Know Me and I Dare You are all highlights. Unfortunatley that's all the positives I can think about on this album. Espacio suffers from a corny beat as well as a weak appearance by Lil Kim. Down The Line Joint feat Puffy, Mark Curry, G-Dep and Mase is so wack, I laughed till tears came out my eyes. How do you name such a wack joint after the old Nice & Smooth classic is beyond me. That's not the only song that makes me laugh. PD World Tour is incredibly cheesy and Spanish Fly feat J-Lo is lame its sad. B.R. feat G-Dep is boring and Jasmine feat Carl Thomas is pretty painful to listen to. I Love You Baby had a chance to be dope till Puffy ruins it with a very dull verse. Thug Story mutilates Slick Rick's classic joint Children's Story. No originality there. Zip, zilch, nada. Bottom Line: Black Rob is not a garbage MC but this album is. Plus there is the factor that street dudes and preppy CEO punks dont mix. Black Rob would have had better luck on a label that would have allowed him to be himnself without having to comprimise his character. That is not going to happen when you're on a record label with a preppy CEO punk who loves commercialism. Plus those doodoo beats killed him. I hope for Black Rob's reputation that he leaves Sad Boy records or his crediblity as an MC will be a laughing stock.
Standout Tracks: WHOA, LIFE STORY, LOOKIN AT US, YOU DONT KNOW ME, CAN I LIVE and I DARE YOU.
Black Rob threw Bad Boy on his back like WHOA! Sep 23, 2006
Rob came with that old school vibe on this with remarkable storytelling skills reminiscent of Biggie and Slick Rick. After Mase retired and the Lox bounced to go to the then red hot Ruff Ryders, Puff, BR, and the Hitmen came through with this classic. Standout cuts are Can I Live(with the Lox), WHOA( of course), I love you baby, PD World Tour, Espacio and Jasmine.
