Blender

The lack of pretense on his second album makes him an approachable Everypimp, and he gets nothing but love from [his] guests. [Dec 2004, p.138]

Los Angeles Times

More consistent and satisfying than its predecessor. [14 Nov 2004]

Entertainment Weekly

The kind of slick, articulate boogie rap that may get Nelly to wondering if the Lou is big enough for the both of them. [19 Nov 2004, p.82]

E! Online

His rhymes don't say much new, and the repetitive bounce of Powerballin' rattles your head after a while.

It's not that the album isn't good, it's that it pails in comparison to "Jackpot."

Vibe

More solid than spectacular. [Jan 2005, p.83]

Rolling Stone

Chingy is charming in presence and in singsong flow, but not particularly engaging. [25 Nov 2004, p.91]

Billboard

The constant talk of expensive cars, gyrating women and endless parties quickly becomes redundant--and boring.

I simply CAN NOT believe the lyrical content that people put up with days. Rap used to be about one-up-manship through the skills of storytelling. But today, its about one-up-manship through aestetic means, such as who has the best car or the best "ho" or who has the brightest chain, and no one exemplifies this characteristic more than chingy. Crap, this is crap. I can only pray that hip-hop will soon be taken back by the underground, or at least rappers that rap about things that matter. I dont care about his freakin "26 rims". Why would i want to hear a rapper brag about things that I cant afford, and that nobody in the streets can afford. Please, rappers, stay true to the streets.

This is a good album, nice pop mc rhymes, and great choruses from chingy here. An enjoyable album no doubt. the highlight being 'I really dont care'. This coming from a hardcore rap fan of canibus, mos def, del, nas etc... you hip hop heads need to open your ears and minds and listen to more trust me. just 'cos it blings and is commercial doesn't mean it lacks content. Peace.
