Deliverance
$13.98
This is, without a doubt, the best album of the decade so far. Whether you are a fan of rap music or hip hop or not, "Deliverance" is a landmark album that's as urgent, insightful and experimental as the genre will allow within its small confines. From the country strains of standout cuts like "Coming Round", "Jimmy Mathis" and the title cut, Sparxxx's rural Georgia upbringing is utilized to its fullest, sending a message as powerful as we have heard from rap since its early days, when the music actually conveyed some important social issues other than gangbanging, pop hooks and endless posturing. The perfect hybrid of various musical styles encompassing everything from crunk to bluegrass, "Deliverance" is a considerable artistic achievement that will likely remain on most critics' "Best Albums" lists long after bigger sellers like Eminem and 50 Cent are has-been pop history footnotes. Give Timbaland and Bubba high marks for making an album more personal and introspective than one would expect from a sophomore CD to a popular selling debut. They both must have known this would be a hard sell to contemporary pop radio programmers (since they insist on hit singles that can be easily categorized) yet still avoid the temptation to release a cookie-cutter "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" follow-up like most breakout artists today almost always do. Everyone involved with this project should be proud of what they accomplished. "Deliverance" is not only adventurous and groundbreaking, it is also nothing short of brilliant.

The Charm
$18.98
When Bright Days, Dark Nights came out I didnt give him a second listen. The album was weak and he came off as another gimmick. Deliverance was a great album that proved me wrong and showed that Bubba Sparxxx was capable of giving his best backed up by Timbaland and Organized Noize production. This album here stinks. It has its moments with tight tracks like Represent, The Otherside feat Petey Pablo and Sleepy Brown(which sounds like a leftover from Deliverance) and Hey(A Little Gratitude). But these songs are offset by hot garbage tracks like Ms New Booty feat Ying Yang Twins(who thought that this collabo was a good idea?), As The Rims Spin, That Man feat Duddy Ken and Sleepy Brown, Claremount Lounge feat Killer Mike and Cool Breeze(AWFUL) and Wonderful. Bubba's intentions were good when he made Aint Life Grand feat Scar and Run Away feat Frankie J but his suprisingly weak bars kill the potential those tracks had. Heat It Up is better than Ms New Booty but its still forgettable. After hearing this album, Bubba Sparxxx career might be on thin ice. You dont follow up a brilliant album with a stinker unless you are intentionally trying to kill the momentum you gained by doing so. Deliverance was a clever and thoughtful album, The Charm is a contrived attempt at commercialism that falls flat on its face. Hopefully Bubba will break camp from Purple Ribbon because the direction they are taking him in will only lead to his downfall. Standouts: REPRESENT, THE OTHERSIDE AND HEY(A LITTLE GRATITUDE).
