"Don't be mad cause the kids like me"
This album and the controversy surrounding it is around its mega hit "Crank That", this is basically the first viral hit ever as it blew a rapper to stardom and getting a major label deal just off of fans sharing it online and bringing it into real life.
It shocked people so much because at the time, it was somewhat against the values of hip hop, simplified, repetitive party music. Even mainstream rappers at the time had to have subject matter and rapping ability to gain a fanbase and even get themselves a debut album. Sure there were some bad albums but they weren't a huge success like this.
It's also important to point out the hate surrounding it might've had to do with ppl hating on snap/crunk music in general.
So is the album good? Is it a misunderstood classic? Not really. Except for the hits, the album is basically "Crank That" stretched to album length. With multiple songs even sampling or reusing lines from "Crank That" as hooks. "Crank That" was made on Garage Band so the other beats have to be (and half of them are ass).
There is no deeper meaning or theme to the lyrics whatsoever, it's just "I'm cool, I have style, deal with it". I think in today's standards for hip hop the lyrics sound better but the beats sound worse. I would describe the music as stupid. But it's fun. I think it's a fun guilty pleasure but not something I could consider good music. I don't think it would make people that mad today but it deserves respect for "ruining hip hop" just for being different.
Best: Crank That, Yahhh!, Report Card, Don't Get Mad.
Worst: Snap and Roll, Donk, Soulja Girl.

Hope everyone's having a nice holiday. Getting into the Christmas spirit right now listening to Team 10's "Litmas"!

JAKE PAUL & TEAM 10 - LITMAS
I wasn't sure if I should do this mixtape bc Jake Paul is not a rapper, just a douchebag YouTuber. But since he had an audience of fans listening to this and has Rae Sremmurd on one song I figured it's fair game to include this.
So, it's pretty terrible. It's all basically a joke, like parodying Christmas songs and rapping about being a successful YouTuber, having rich parents and begging the listener to "buy merch". It also has a Chrismas theme remix to "It's Everyday Bro" called "It's Christmas Day Bro" which is enough for you to guess the vibe.
So yeah, pretty awful and obnoxious. Would laugh maybe if I liked Jake Paul but since it's humor based around his persona it just made me groan a little. Merry Christmas.
Best: N/A
Worst: 12 Days of Christmas, Jingle Pauls.
