    Creatively, he continues to exceed even the loftiest expectations.

    The Charm... is surprisingly great as conciliatory moves go.

    Has too many antiseptic beats and not nearly enough Timbaland. [May 2006, p.109]

    Candyfloss choruses hamper Bubba's shots at a market-friendly take on his introspective style. [May 2006, p.122]

    The album is a flux of emotional and artistic range beginning with the hardcore beginning of Represent to the smooth melodic beats of Ain9;t life grand and the Otherside..Finally the CD ends at Hey! , another hardcore beat with strong southern down home lyrics. Each song brings its own flavor and originality in a very unique way..Not one song is like the other and the more you listen to them you can appreciate the skill and divirsity Bubba has grown to to bring to the table..My only complaint is I wish there were more songs… Expand

    To me, this bar far is Bubba K.'s best! I love the beats, his lyrics are of course the best!!!!!!! He has proven that he has lasting talent,skills and will maintain. He represents some of that 'dirty south' music oh so well. I like how he does not focus on dissin' other musicians (trying to make it). He basically states in his music, "I am Bubba K! This is what I am about" I love that about him. In other words, he is real. Geniuine. And that will keep him around. I love 'The Charm', I hope this "Country Boy" get's his props. He's got my vote and support!!!!!!!… Expand

    Deliverance was a 10, first disc 'what was the title?' was a 6... this one sits dead in the middle. Third is indeed a Charm until Skateboard P drops. Bubba lyrically does no wrong. T.I. is a jester to Bubba's KING. Listen to the pride of LaGrange still spit like he is living at the end of a dirt road, with toothless neighbors. Ms New Booty is the best mindless ode to backsides since 'shake it fast'. If he can keep up this pace for another two records or so I would put him before M-n-M. Just don't 'lose yourself' bubba i know you can do it. Organized Noise sounds as good as ever and nobody (except HOVA on vol. 3) rides a Timbo beat like Bubba K. Word to Ned Beatty, Burt Reynolds and Brad Pitt's future baby-momma's daddy deliverence indeed. Just Blaze, Pha-real, and 9th wonder need to get with this man.… Expand
