With "self-made" brings another Southern rappers, Rocko from Atlanta to swim his Major debut album among the people and trying to the wave of success of the new stars of the South. In recent years, many rappers from these countries have risen to top sellers on the charts. As would be TI, Paul Wall, Slim Thug and Chamillionaire, but Young Jeezy and Rick Ross, whom Rocko's style is very similar. This comparison should make clear what the listener as expected on "self-made" by and large, an album through and through coined. Of the eternal hunt for the money, the so-called. Hustlermentalität and the pursuit of other material goods In the best manner Brock tells his listeners, how much money he is not already erhustlet ,, "and that is why the women literally fly at him. Well, in short, lyrically we find on" Self Made "nothing we do not already had heard at Rocko Rapkollegen. The only bright spot is perhaps lyrical ,, Snakes ", a song that warns trusting the wrong person. But now times Erlich, which followers of southern canola expected when he buys for example a Lil Jon CD already intellectual texts? Of course, here the rather weak geratenen Lyrics are only in second place behind the beats and the sound of the text carried forward and in fact much of the instrumentals, as we would say in English, ,, catchy "become. Producer stars like Drumma Boy, Cool and Dre and The Runners have conjured up a musical based on the album that makes you forget the content and the very catchy melodies go on a once in flesh and blood. The majority of the songs is very round, as way of Beats harmonize well with Rocko's flow. This, incidentally, has parallels with Young Jeezy on. Even Rocko raps slowly and pulling words at the end of a sentence sometimes in the length. Unfortunately succeeds Rocko but not as good as a Young Jeezy or Rick Ross establish a moody atmosphere for Hustlementalität by simple Raptechnik on the right beats. Runs straight through the middle of the plate a longer hangover, which can be overcome only by the pressure of the Skip button. The strongest phase has the album at the very beginning. The first 5 songs of ,, Dis Morning "on the Single ,, Umma Do Me" to the very cool pumping ,, Busy "and ,, Tomorrow" have the most energy and join in, as I said, captivating rhythm right mood. In conclusion, one can say that fans of concern looser rape which look Beats primarily, almost certainly more than one title on ,, Self Made "may be, people with ,, Bling Bling rap" but can not do anything, should of outset better keep her hands off this record. The album is, if you like his style, OK, as far as the artistic future Rocko I am, however, more than skeptical.
