When it comes to artists with a story to tell, French Montana has to be near the head of the pack. From being born in Morocco, to the streets of the Bronx, selling street DVDs, his friendship with the now incarcerated Max B, his new affiliations with Bad Boy and Maybach Music Group, French Montana has a compelling back story. French has either worked with your favorite artists or their boss, so one could assume French would have a lot to say on his official debut, Excuse My French. Assuming such would be setting yourself up for a major disappointment. If affiliations and features could make an album, Excuse My French would be near classic. However, the results of the excessive collaborations, along with French’s limited subject matter, and lack of lyrical ability or overall direction make for a very bad introduction.
Of the 19 tracks on Excuse My French, French goes solo on six, making the album feel like more of a compilation than a solo project. And on those six tracks, French fails to stand out. “Once In A While,” which lists Max B as a feature, although he only speaks via a taped phone call, features French rapping, “Getting shot up, then he got up / Came back, then he lit the spot up / Homie hit the chart up / Morrocan boy, you sloppy boy / Three chains on, I be rocky boy / Packs out the lobby boy…” The drums, and Kanye West sample (“This what ya’ll all been waiting for, ain’t it?”) give the song an epic vibe, like it’s the beginning of something great. For what it’s worth, the track is probably the second highest point of the album. Genrally, French falls victim to repetition both through the course of the album and on individual songs. It’s generally accepted that judged solely on the merits of bar-for-bar rhyme schemes, similes and metaphors, French would rate out as a terrible rapper. But this hasn’t prevented French or peers such as Waka Flocka Flame from attaining a certain amount of commercial success and respect from peers that can actually, you know, rap. So by what basis should listeners judge French, when most of his verses play out like extended choruses? Perhaps that’s a rhetorical question for each individual listener.
On “Gifted” French spits, “I be gifted when I’m faded, faded all the time / I thought they’d love me when I made it, niggas hated all the time / It’s a dirty game, try to find a bitch, maybe get married / It’s like pissin’ in the freezer, tryna make canaries…” Such lazy rhymes unfortunately aren’t limited to French, as “Trap House” finds Rick Ross serving up the following:
“I’m a boss motherfucka / Pull up to the club, just to floss motherfucker / On a soft motherfucka / Rich motherfucka / All the whips foreign, take ya bitch motherfucka / Suck a dick motherfucka / I’m the shit motherfucka…”
Nicki Minaj ventures into similar territory on “Freaks” offering the uninspired #hashtag rhyme, “Big fat pussy…Mufasa.” In and of themselves, none of these errors are cardinal sins. In fact, the artists in question have comitted them on several occasions. And the gold-selling “Pop That” proves there is an audience for French Montana and his many collaborators. Records like “Freaks” and “F*** What Happens Tonight” have a much more Caribbean feel (due to the Chaka Demus and the Pliers sample and Mavado hook respectively). While, “Bust it Open” and “Pop That,” have a much more Southern feel. The reach to other markets seems to work on “Pop That,” but it doesn’t work as well on the other records, whether it be the cringe-inducing Mavado hook on “F*** What Happens Tonight,” which nearly ruins great verses from Scarface and Ace Hood. Ironically, the highest point of the album is “We Go Wherever We Want,” if for nothing other than the chemistry of a “C.R.E.A.M.” sample (courtesy of producers Vinylz and Allen Ritter) combined with a Raekwon feature.
Excuse My French comes off as extremely formulaic. The use of recognizable samples, the go-to features of the day (Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, two Lil Wayne features, three Rick Ross features), the attempts to cover all markets and demographics, give the album a forced feel. While some of the records either have, or will make their run in the clubs—strip clubs specifically—listening to Excuse My French in its entirety is an extremely strenuous task at best. While excessive tales of flossing, the streets, and misogyny are nothing new to Hip Hop, the complete lack of creativity those subjects are executed with on this project, whether it be lyrically or instrumentally, make it a hard listen.
This has to be the worst review of the year!! This is the album of the summer!! This shit bangs like dime prostitute!!
This has to be the worst review of the year!! This is the album of the summer!! This shit bangs like a dime prostitute!!
This has to be the worst review of the year!! This is the album of the summer!! This shit bangs like a dime prostitute!!!
No, this shit is horrible, and it bangs like your mom who is a 1 cent prostitute
This has to be the worst review of the year!! This is the album of the summer!!! This shit bangs like a dime prostitute!!
DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU POST THIS….THE ALBUM STILL SUCKS MONKEY NUTS
After how shit it is, you STILL GIVE IT A 2.5/5? Thats generous
Bruce Smith, the writer of this review may have given it 2 and a half stars but the feel is of a 1 star review if not lower.
Haaaaaaaan!
GARBAGE.. wackest rapper in the game candidate
I’m just kidding with you all. This really is the album of the decade like Montana said with the collaborators adding fuel to the greatness of this album. Remember, Dr Dre had plenty of collaborators for his 2 albums (they are wack by the way). Plus French Montana has plenty of depth and emotion. He has terrific club bangers like Pop That but also shows his emotional side with his Max B collaborations (Max B had nothing to do with the murders FYI.) This is truly an amazing album that beats out Game, Kendrick Lamar, and Nas (all who released whack albums.) This deserves the first ever infinity rating. Something far higher than 5/5 rating.
Obviously, Vinny in disguise.
That’s not Vinny. In fact, the Bruce Smith that posted this review was actually from someone from the aftermath plant camp from Dr Dre and Kendrick Lamar. What I said in the comment was my true opinion.
Kendricks album is 10x this album
but they are different so you can’t really compare them
Another great example of a wack rapper who relies on cosigns features and production. His supported by some big names who are constantly promoting him. Take all that away and what do you have ???????????????
IDK DX YA REVIEW IS ALL WRONG!!! IM NOT A HUGE FRENCH FAN, BUT HE DELIVERED A VERY GOOD ALBUM. HE’S NOT A LYRICIST BY ANY MEANS SO WHY WOULD U EXPECT THAT FROM HIM. THIS ALBUM HAS STRONG MOMENTS.
Muthafuck this review. I give this a 4.5/5!!!! Coke Boy Baby!!!! MMG!!!! Bad Boy!!!!
stop smoking crack,nigga
This review is awful. This is truly the album of the decade.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Any. Stop teasing Vinny. He’s gone through criticism. He should be given the courageous award for stating his opinion and enduring criticism.
Prob won’t even listen to this for free
I had listened to it on youtube….complete waste of time
I tried to have an open mind when listening to this album but it just plain sucked!
W

C
K
A
S
FUCK !!
this guy cannot rhyme and cannot put together an album
If “New York Minute” had been on the album, I’d’ve given it a 2. As it is, it’s a 1.
FRENCH IS A DISGRACE TO NEW YORK CITY…IF YOU’RE FROM THE CITY AND DO HIP-HOP REPRESENTING IT, YOU SHOULD BE LYRICAL.
not surprised at all
cookie cutter rap…
“steal your chick” line…. check
rapping about foreign cars…. check
100 features a 6 solo tracks…. check
corny rapper. the reviewer compared him to someone who is very similar… waka flocka flame…corny rappers
even waka go hard tho this guy is just straight downsyndrome rap
No talent-ass clown. At least DX stood up and said something about it.
I read somewhere recently that Funk Flex gave French Montana the “NY Crown”. WTF?? I’ve never heard something so ridiculous in my life, especially with niggas like Nas still relevant and dropping Grammy-nominated albums. Flex is an O.G. in this hip-hop shit and supposed to be one of the gatekeepers. I guess the desire to stay current with the kids was too much for Flex to ignore, smh.
Flex is a hoe.
trust me when i say..flex dont speak for ny
Flex will push anyone if they pay him enough. Best believe diddy got flex in his pockets
Y’all Already know that….All the tracks really sound like ass….Y’all Already know that….All the tracks really sound like ass….OOOOOOHHHHH…..All the tracks really sound like ass….OOOOOOHHHHH….lol.
Damn this was a disaster. His mixtape were better and thats not saying much. Oh well,Got me another weed plate.
That song go hard tho. Who ever did the hook she went off! I know it was off of a game to
That song was on his mixtape MAC AND CHEESE 3 but was sampled from Kingdom Hearts. That song was tight.Its kinda a disappointment that his album sucks tho.
Fucking dreadful. Only songs worth a damn are “Fuck What Happens Tonight” and “Gifted”, but it falls off greatly after that. Other than those two, everything else is certified trash.
Wont even download this dirt for free send this fuck-boy to live with khaled he done shit on NY rap
What do you have to do to get less than 2 stars?
Glad this got so much hate. French is terrible
Hottest Album this MOnth!
die…
Darius Rucker goes harder than this.
Hahaha 2stars for french Montana. I think the world could not understand your ” french” Montana hahaha
Diddy will be dropping him soon enough when his first week sales come out looking like kreayshawn numbers.
1 star you get from me dude!
This album sucks
LYRICALLY THIS ALBUM AINT ABOUT NUN, BUT IT’S SOME GOOD MUSIC ON HERE. NIGGAZ GOTTA FACE IT, THIS THE RATCHET ERA OF HIP HOP…ALOT OF DUMB SHIT IS ACCEPTED, I GIVE IT A 3/5 EVERY BEAT IS FIRE, GOOD FEATURES BUT LYRICALLY FRENCH WASN’T ON NUN….GOOD ALBUM FOR THE SUMMER THO
So you sayin this a album of nice beats ruined by a wack rapper? If the rapper whose name is on the album is the same nigga who ruined the beats then that make the album trash.
They went too hard on him. This album aint supposed to go up against Nas or Biggie. That’s where a unitary scale and adjusting reviews clash. You just cant compare this to a lyrical album. This almost cant be called HipHop – no offense – but real raw club music. For the club, strictly to party and go hard. And for that purpose, its freakin good.
The only thing raw about this album is the price.
stupid review i like the album fuck yall haters
this is why “hip-hop is dead”.
giving a rating of 2 stars for a decent album
but lupe and kid cudi make some whack ass shit and they get 5 stars.
French is nice…if you 15 years old.
the album is OK, i would give it 3 or 3.5, i expected worse
nice beat selection, features brought good verses, lyrically we could skip a few tracks but on a few songs he was OK, average rapper so an average score
LOL at that cover art reminding me of 50 cent being left in the desert by keef lmaoo
on that note- if thats the best lyrics they can sample ..i wont even listen 2 it
Keef played himself that day. Now he stuck wit Gucci Mane.
remember when French cancelled his album listening party at the interscope offices after 50 Cent showed up looking for him?
if there was anychance i would fuck w french..it ended the day i listened 2 his hook on pusha ts mixtape WOWWWWWWWW the ugliest hook i ever heard in my lifespan and generations before..ever
Worst review and what a shitty website you guys got going on here. Seriously when was the last time you updated this uninspiring javascript you have running here?
This site gave Chief Keefs illiterate ass 3 stars but Frenchie gets 2.5.
These idiots apparently never listened to French Montana’s mixtapes, they act like this dude just showed up one day or something. He’s been on the scene feeding the streets fire for 5+ years now. Why the fuck does he have to write some garbo tracks detailing his ethnicity and his hard times growing up in the projects like every other idiot rapper does. Frenchie fans know his history already, and those that don’t are not checking for that.
Every track on this niggas album is a bangning, head bumper while you push your whip to and from club/work.
Meanwhile even though I like Styles P that garbo album Float got 3.5 stars? lol, have you listened to Styles wordplay recently? Hes fell off drastically within the last 4 years. He rhymes the same 14 words over and over again, no originality.
With French he has a UNIQUE sound. Jesus this reviewer is a hypocrite and a moron.
P.S. Computer Science graduate who has a higher I.Q. than this arts major reviewer which is funny because he thinks putting down this album is in some way reflective of his mental fortitude. LMAO, not even close!
take french montana’s dick out of your mouth before you suffocate..
Amen!!! I agree with everything u said!!! This is the summer album of the year!! Every track is banging like a crip!!!
Stop it. French Montana is trash and that’s why 70% of his album has features. If he was nice, he would have used his debut album to feature himself.
damn homie how butthurt are you? you dont gotta agree with every album review, thats why they let the readers vote too. and take a look at the average review, 2.17 out of 24 reviews so far, so i would say the reviewer was pretty spot on.
lol get 50s dick out your mouth. dr. dre is known for being featured the fuck up.
no ones talking about 50
album is better than i expected, i give 4 stars
I fuck with excuse my french fuck the haters
this album is ass and i agree with this review pretty much 100%. i cant believe him and diddy were trying to say this would be the best album out of new york in 10 years.
p.s. this guy filmed DJ Khaleds mom for 50 Cent and now they cool?
yeah thats how much of a snake this retard looking nigga is
i don’t understand why y’all can’t like shit like this and underground shit. your allowed to you know… my ipods got everything from French Montana, Gucci & Chief Keef to Doom, Roc Marciano, Gangrene.. just listen to shit for what it is stop tryna compare everything shit
look man, i like underground rap and i love that gangsta ass trap shit too but french is just terrible at rapping and a complete clown.
The issue is people like Gucci, Keef and French have absolutely no skill, put in no effort, and have no creativity. The sound isn’t the issue, the issue is they suck.
3, real talk. cause they’re haters. Its like being a freak fan. if you really don’t like an artist you would just ignore them. not these fans. because they’re freaks. they love to hate them.
No the issue is these “artist” have made radio unlistenable and are ruining the genre.
I hate Frenchie, but this review is a little harsh. Muthafucka put out a better than expected album. Some of them joints are pretty solid. 3.5/5 would’ve been a more fair rating.
better than expected for french montana you say? yep 2 stars seems about right.
Nigga please!!
“yep 2 stars seems about right.”
“seems”
aka
you judged on the cover and a couple singles.
Nope, 3.5 is still way way too harsh. Infinity over 5 sounds more appropriate.
HOW MANY OF YOU WILL BE PLAYING OR EVEN REMEMBER THIS ALBUM 2 MAYBE 4 YEARS FROM NOW?
album is wack
I agree. The Heist is wack.
Nobody’s talking about The Heist, which is a good album. We’re talking about this piece of shit called Excuse My French.
Had bigger hopes for this album but just complete booty. Bad Boy and MMG should be ashamed of themself
This album is wack as fuck, expected better from french this WILL DO chief keef numbers
i bet you didn’t even listen to it.
Lame 1/5 bad boy falling off
i told many before it drops you waiting for nothing special here nothing we never seen before another bay aka birdman swag but no lyrics no content just the same ole same ole bs.
35k first week.
You’re describing J Cole’s numbers for Born Sinner here.
Nah that’ll do 150ish
i say 75k
nothing on the album sounds new york!!!!1
the people saying this is the best album from new york dont be on new york streets to capture that real new york sound!1
French Montana is the number 1 rapper on the NY streets.
we’ll see when the sales numbers come in next week
chances are he doing tyler the creator numbers
I sure hope was phucking kidding when he said Frenchie was KING of N.Y.
This guy is a JOKE!!!! Way too many features!!
I hope he stops making music after his shit floppssss
wack !
I sure hope Flex was phucking kidding when he said Frenchie was KING of N.Y.
This guy is a JOKE!!!! Way too many features!!
I hope he stops making music after his shit floppssss
Flex crowning French King of NY just shows how desperate NY is to get back to the top. They are willing to cosign anyone at the point how is getting any shine.
Flex is a clown. His opinion is not a legit one! He dick rides the next act!
all i see is hate dis nigga is da hottest in NY plus he goes hard french has never said his lyrical his music is for hustlers and street niigas if u dnt like dis then u a skinny ass wearing phone #FREEMAXB album is 5/5 french keep doin ur thang cokeboys
^^ a “realhiphophead” would never say that or co-sign this bull shit.. best believe you aint no hustler or street nicca either
40k first week maximum
Its no.1 on itunes charts of rap and looks like it could sell a million.
loool vinny shut up you dickrider
get frenchies dick out your mouth b
You both are probably just spies from Jay Z’s plant or Dr Dre’s plant sent to diss people who like French Montana. The truth is that he’s better than both of them. And leave YMCMB fans alone, you both still on wayne and birdman kissing each other. They are not gay since they are father and son. Besides, wayne needed practice in kissing girls.
That would be unfortunate for Mr. Coke Boy.
I am a coke boy myself. He is the best rapper alive. BTW, Wayne, my other favorite artist, only kisses Birdman to practice kissing women.
Mike Studd (Who?) was #1 on ITunes Rap Chart. He sold 4200.
This nigga has and always will be a mixtape artist
Really who gave this a 5? Im giving it a 1 to counterbalance…. id say 2.5
only song I like is “I told’em”
5 STARZ…JUST FOR DISSIN CURTIS JACKSON A FEW MONTHS BACK.
THEN HE GOT SCARED AND NOW HE STAYING QUIET AS A MOUSE BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE GOT IT WORSE THAN GUNPLAy
1 STAR FOR TAPING DJ KHALEDS MOMMA FOR 50 CENT DURING THE ROSS BEEF AND NOW BEING BUTT BUDDYS WITH ROSS AND KHALED. FUCKING SNAKE SHIT
i guessed this would get between 2.5-3.
how predictable.
funny how you rushed to give this a predicatble 2.5 and paps still w/o a review.
This was a good review.
this fool went industry he aint the same without MAX B max b made him who he is now max is the real and whole kokewave
How he even gets 2 1/2 stars when The Fake Rick Ross ghostwrote 1/3 of this album is shocking.
This album is trash!
wow, when DX gives ur shit a 2.5 u know it’s terrible
You’re right, they usually DickRide these fools
no they usually give everything a 3
this was so predictable. i knew, regardless of what was on the album, HHDX would give it a 2.5 or 3.
I’m just kidding with you all. This really is the album of the decade like Montana said with the collaborators adding fuel to the greatness of this album. Remember, Dr Dre had plenty of collaborators for his 2 albums (they are wack by the way). Plus French Montana has plenty of depth and emotion. He has terrific club bangers like Pop That but also shows his emotional side with his Max B collaborations (Max B had nothing to do with the murders FYI.) This is truly an amazing album that beats out Game, Kendrick Lamar, and Nas (all who released whack albums.) This deserves the first ever infinity rating. Something far higher than 5/5 rating!!!
Bruce Smith-No this album does not beat kendrick lamar. Not even the slightest bit. I’m definitely sure that French Montana himself and his other collaborators are aware of that as well.
And kendrick never thought of being superior to nas and dr dre. Why, because they were all wack as fuck. Montana may not realize this but he’s the best rapper of all time.
Your joking right Dr. Dre’s albums are classics, Nas is a legend and Game may not be as a big as a success as he was at the beginning of his career, but he and the others KILL this flaky fuck. And don’t even compare the garbage to Kendrick.
You are a fucking dumb idiot for liking all of those “classic albums.” Not only were they wack but their artists have all fallen off since then. Montana is the best rapper of the decade. Kendrick is just the definition of pop music. BTW, Wayne only kisses Birdman because they are father and son and Wayne wants to practice kissing women. You are all just plants of Aftermath and Roc Nation.
Dre’s albums r wack? is that why the whole universe is waiting for Detox for over 10 years now?
hahahaha bro ur calling montana the best rapper of all time?
Hey, don’t make fun of him. He simply stating the truth.
lol …smh… people still getting trolled in 2013
Bruce Smith is obviously Vinny in disguise.
Bruce Smith – shut the fuck up and go back to working at Wal-Mart.
….Damn I don’t know why but I was expecting a lot. He even said it was going to be a classic and it was very far from one.
every nicca says they album gonna be a classic
Pretty much lol
He’s got some really ugly jewelry.
If you’re judging it on some grand scale then yeah, it’ll suck ass. If you take it for what it is and just roll down the windows, it’s no better or worse than anything else out there now.
trash!
Dumpster juice…
XXL Magaine seems to think that he delivered terrific lyrics and devoted an article to the top 25 montana lyrics.
making a list of the 25 best french montana lyrics is like trying to make a list of your 25 least stinkiest shits
ITS STILL SHIT
LMAO it took 2 years to make this.
Hahaha I love how they destroy an album that is advertised in honestly every single place to be advertised on the site’s front page.
Suck my gooch, Montana
HipHopDX ya’ll actually thought this kat was gonna do some ol Get Rich type shit huh…he is garbage to the fullest…6 solo songs says it all…
Albums decent dont know why theres so much hate 6.5/10 imo. The lack of harry fraud/soulful production is wack. French has always been a soulful rapper first and trap rapper second if u go back and look at his mac and cheese and coke boys tapes.
None the less the soulful tracks on this album are solid he should have stuck with that type of sound. Paranoid and Trap House are decent trap songs but the rest are wack.
I agree…. he needs a couple sanctuary type tracks
i agree ^^
You’re joking, right? French Montana is not a soulful artist.
To the Anon that said he isnt a soulful artist you trippin homie go look at his mac and cheese and coke boys mixtapes. Even Mac and Cheese 3 had more soulful production then trap. French obv got shitty lyrics but hes got a ear for production.
Dude, you’re a fucking idiot. French is NOT a soulful artist at all. His shit has no soul, just mainstream bullshit.
It’s ok nothin special
you aint shit without me hhhaaaaeeennnn. You better start worrying about something when you see your 1st week sales.
excuse his stench
Every time I come back to check these comments the rating seems to get lower and lower! LMAO, the people have spoken!!!!!!!!
only 42 people even care
best believe by the end of the week there will be 200 more bad reviews
French is the future, the album is straight fire! Listen to it yourself, you’ll love it.
I bet 90% of the people hating have not even listened to his album. Again no constructive criticism just hate for the sake of hate.
naw nigga we heard the album and it sucks. i know its hard to believe but you got terrible taste in music and most of the people on this site think this is garbage and that this arab should be deported
LOL GAVE THIS A LISTEN AND TRUST ME. FUCKING TERRIBLE!!!
LOLOLOL SOUNDS LIKE HE RECORDED IT IN HIS BASEMENT .
THIS NIGGA GOT 25 plus FEATURES!!! LOLOLOLOll NEXTTTT
you dumbass hoodrats need to stop being obsessed with the word hate. you dont even know what it fuckin means. nobody is jealous of french that isnt on drugs
This man sucks…No hope for him or his album.
This album is trash…French was always trash…why he lasted this long ill never know
haaaaaaaaaaaaaan
anyone think there’s a heaven for a g?
hustler for death no heaven for a gangsta
this sounds like a bag of dicks being smashed into a glass wall
Pretty decent review…
thank god most people arnt surprised by this review. French Montana NEVER had talent, and anybody who was in high anticipation for this album is a genuine idiot. its people like French Montana who are ruining hip hop. He claimed this album who bring the Bronx back to hip hop. If this class act clown is whos putting New York back in hip hop, i have nothing but fear for the genre. Its Joey Bada$$ who is a true NY artist. This stupid ass clown Montana is a gimmick, and a shitty one at that. I didnt even buy the album, my ten dollars is spent better elsewhere.
Sadly Joey Badass will never have the career that French has. Joey will always be a slept on underground mixtape artist. He does not even have a record deal.
XXL freshman class anyone????
Mostly because Joey doesn’t really want a record deal yet. Otherwise I have to agree, he is the prototype of an underground mixtape artists. He’ll spend a few years trying to gain some attention from the mainstream, then end up being signed to a bigger indie label, doing around like ten thousand sales per album. I wish him the opposite cause the dude got skills, but I doubt that he’ll ever be in the same position like (for example) Kendrick nowadays.
Considering that Joey makes 90’s throwback music, I dont see him ever becoming a popular mainstream rapper with a large presence in hip hop. His whole 90’s gimmick is preventing his career from taking off because lets face it nobody listens to boom-bap rap anymore especially the younger generation. Joey will only appeal to old hip hop heads hungering for nostalgia. I would put Bronsin in the same boat as Joey.
and by the way, can anybody here who actually does support Montana and like the album, explain to me where the lyrical content is?
Nobody listens to French Montana for wordplay and lyrical rhymes. People listen to him for his bangers. And he makes some pretty good ones (Ocho Cinco, paranoid, marble floors, etc.)
Wrong.
French Montana should retire. It’s all about Riff Raff
The fact that French Montana is popular and that Raekwon would do a feature with him are baffling. Production is not bad although Frenchy attempts to ruin every song.
Solid release. French’s flow and production can a bit repetitive though. OCHO CINCO!
I was traded over to coke boys to account for one day and I can happily say its on track to sell a million.
Good joke. You mean 50k.
No, I mean a million. BTW, Wayne only kisses Birdman because they are father and son and he wants to practice kissing women. That’s not being gay.
Nope. You mean 50k. It won’t even go gold.
Mediocrity realized.. the album lacks an artist. The catch the moment feel is in full effect and its no wonder why he kept pushing it back because he failed to release when he buzz was the hottest. Instead he got into drama with 50 , got aired out by his baby momma and totally bombed on his response about his kid being in the hospital. Oh and did I mention he lacked songs?
album was a huge disappointment. Opening track was the best and the rest of the album was either repetitive or generic. Was hoping for the best and in the end got mediocrity
co-sign
FIRE i love it
f#ck what happen tonight !!!
that sh*t is firrreeeeee!!!
free Max B !!!
Shit is fukin crack fuk all ya haters hann
yes. it is crack. all the crackheads agree
this is music for 14 year old white kids
french montana is a plague. his music is terrible, and he jocks styles. #BoycottFrench
id give less than one star if i could
TRUE STORY
I do not endorse this album.
if you expected this to be good you already lost
i must say though…he sounded good on some of those old harry fraud tracks
ALL U GUYS ARE HATERS.ALBUM IS HARD.EVERY TRACK , IS A BANGER. WHAT DO U EXPECT EVERY ALBUM NOW A DAYS MORE COMMERICIAL
YES WE ARE ALL HATERS. YOU AND THE 12 PEOPLE WHO VOTED IT 5 STARS ARE THE ONLY ONES WITH TASTE IN MUSIC AND THE OTHER 60 PEOPLE ARE JUST HATIN LOL FUCK OUTTA HERE
This shit for dumb ass white kids that think the hood life is cool. His album is garbage! Downloaded it, listened and then erased that shit! SMFH! If you need that many features and got to sound like your from the south on almost every track but you’re from New York… Quit rapping! SMFH!
May have a few fans but I am not one of them – this style of so-called ‘music’ is not anything that appeals to me, and I hate that he tarnishes other good rappers as a featured artist. Learn how to hit a note, and try about 10 more years of writing practice before trying to call yourself a rapper – regardless of whether some weak-minded execs signed you.
thats an icecream sample off of only built for cuban linx niggas not c.r.e.a.m
LOL shows you how dumb these writers are.
i could see how one might get the two songs mixed up though
i have to check in to say, this is about as ignorant as u get… i tried to give it 0 stars but this site wont let me!!!
another fail for hip-hop smh
awful, awful, awful. absolute disgrace to hip hop. Please get this clown as far away from a microphone as possible
overly hyped. He got good features (4/19 were solo tracks) and of course beats from all the hottest producers.
Funkmaster Flex claiming a Moroccan dude king of NYC? Someone paid for that statement quite handsomely.
I just wonder what mom will say to little joey and miranda when they get back from the after school program with a coke boys shirt.
its DA TRAP for a reason
he ain’t French and he sure ain’t no Montana
Horrible, as expected.
French worked hard and really needs your hard earned money. He has 3 year old boy to feed and a baby mama to take care of. Also he is bringing back that real gritty NY rap that has been gone for so long. French is a man with a vision and he needs your help to make his vision a reality. Frenchs new album will forever change hip hop, it will have rappers look at themselves and realize that things get deeper than this rap shit (to use the words of the great Rick Ross). French Montana is going to save hip hop, he is that great light at the end of a dark dark tunnel.
What a plonker
I can fuck with this. Yes its not the best album by far but its got a few bangers. French must just stick to features though because he cant hold his own on a track at all
Music for BLACK zombies …
Is this what kanye was talking about ..The record label bosses who signed French Montana (his not french) should hang their fucking heads in shame ..Bullshit,gimmicky artists like him Ross,Waka,Trinidad, are fucking killing hip hop …
This is the worst album in hiphop history. Thanks Diddy for this crap!
I just want to say when will these rappers and record companys realize they giving away all there hottest shit on mixtapes and there official releases just are horrible time and time again example 50, meek, ross, lil wayne, French Montana all released pretty good songs on a thousand mixtapes before dropping an Lp. Shit before the carter 3 lil wayne dropped over 100 songs that where way better then that shit stop the madness yall fucking killing hiphop
this is the worst album ever in hip hop history
TRASH!!!
STOP HATING BITCHEEESSSS!!!!!
ever thought maybe we’re not hating and the album is actually not that good
shit look at the ratings dog only 12 out of 71 give it a 5
its called opinions. if you cant handle them then stfu
That piece of shit said it was the best album in 10 years… IT’S FUCKING WHACK!!!
i feel the same way bout this cd….. the beats go in but dude aint talkin bout nothing… its lik he rappin hella gibberish… dj khalad part 2…. i was lookin forward to buying the album too.. now im lik im good. dude got hella mixtapes dats killin this cd by a heartbeat…
Mannnn, everyone hatin but i bet half you fakers will go out and buy the album.. At least I have the balls to come out and admit it.. for a nigga to be rappin wit raekwon, ross, drake, snoop, scarface, and so on, he has to have at least some talent. And i think it’s a good albums for his first, he has some work to do with his flow and rhymes, but hell, most popular rappers today have simple-ass lyrics, look at 2chainz and lil wayne.. most of their lyrics are stupid and simple, but fans eat it up, just like they’ll eat up this album.. watch it top the charts for weeks on end, just like based on a t.r.u. story did.
” for a nigga to be rappin wit raekwon, ross, drake, snoop, scarface, and so on, he has to have at least some talent. ”
You know thats not true. The rap industry is one big circle jerk niccas will get on songs with whoever is hot at the moment it doesn’t mean they have talent or are respected by the desperate people who would hop on a track with bieber if it made them relevant (Raekwon)
^ Exactly hip hop is business so funny that so many of you don’t understand simple marketing techniques ..That’s why a lot of you dudes will always be consumers and not producers and I do not mean PRODUCERS in the musical sense for you slow minded Black Zombies
I said he had SOME talent.. i was saying he’s the next nas… man, you people take something and blow it completely out of proportion! All I was saying is this albums will indeed be successful, just as successful as 2 chainz’s weak ass album. Callin me a Black Zombie and shit.. suck a dick dude.
He will in no way be as successful as 2 Chainz album, which is Gold and sold over 600K.
@ uneedhaters, Stop being so over emotional brother with that eat a dick internet thug bullshit

This way we can take an hour, see what all the fuss is about and give an honest review or opinion.
AND IT FUCKING SUCKED

this album will be completely forgotten about by august
*july
DEPORT HIM BACK TO MOROCCO WE DONT WANT HIM
shit is wack as fuck
bad lyrics but good performance haaaann!
i was looking forward to this album i agree with the review mac n cheese 3 was dope i was expecting more harry fraud colabs the beats almost all sound alike that trap music shit i listened to it one day and im over it thats why i mess with mixtapes they are way better
On any website, on any album review, the comment section is usually filled with people who agree with the person reviewing/writing the article. It never fails.
naw dog i see a lot of people who dont agree with the reviews on this website for a bunch of albums it all depends on the reviewer
really, different subgenres and tastes cater to what they expect. hhdx will rate in the same predictable way sohh would. its basicallly just telling people what they want to hear. some shit is undeniable, but most of it is just taste
what irks me is if the reviewer is informed. you can’t tell me that someone who’s heard the whole discography of an artist doesn’t have a better perspective on their shit than someone who hasn’t. not sayin i’ve heard everything, but it means a lot on how its heard.
his prior discography and history is irrelevant to the review of this album
nigga said he will sell 200 thousand records first week: And he said he will make a quick few houndred million dollars in the game.
Nigga please
what do u expect from french he said it himself he aint trying to be lyrical he makes club and radio music
he also said this would be the best album out of NY in a decade like Jay-Z didnt drop the Black Album or Cam didnt release Purple Haze etc. etc….
newsflash: every rapper thinks that.
no? its not every day you hear a rapper saying their album will top a lot of great classic albums that have come out recently. if you build hype, you better deliver in my opinion
too much cocaine and other drugs for this dumbfuck to put out a great album
This album could have been dope if French Montana wasn’t on it. I don’t want to hear anyone call this album a classic. That trash won’t even make it to my iPod playlist.
If you’ve heard 1 French songs you’ve heard them all. This was completely unnecessary. Wonder how many copies Diddy and Ross will be buying.
French himself admitted that he would be having Bad Boy buy 1000 copies LOL
These modern rappers have forgotten the art of storytelling. That’s what’s made Pac, Big, Jay, Nas, Em, etc., great because they can do the club and radio shit but interweaving their lives in it.
Go on Jay-Z Life & Times channel on Youtube. French got a crazy backstory. Father abandoned the family and went back to Morocco. Dude was shot in the head. The dude that set him up was the same one that brought him to the hospital.
Also, I don’t get why niggas don’t just make an album with 12 *solid* tracks (8 solo, 4 features) instead of around 20 with a bunch of features. No one’s buying albums anyway. You can’t tour with all those features 5 years from now. At least you can do 12 tracks that when you hear that shit you want more.
Yeah I was seriously wondering how this guy does shoes when all his songs have 2-4 features on them and you know Nicki, Drake and Wayne ain’t going on tour with this clown
Funny how he video taped DJ Khaled’s mom and now they friends.
You could argue that’s why he’s going on tour as a supporting act for Wayne…
when you listen to French, you already know what you are getting. He’s a guilty pleasure to a hip hop purist
no hes a cancerous ear tumor to a hip-hop purist
agreed with the comment before me. as a true lover of all forms of hip hop from many different genres, there’s nothing to love on this album but a beat…and i know many artists with great beats and lyrical content to match them
MONTANA! niggas checking out my CD @ Best Buy, they ain’t even want it/
Got so many haters on my dick, it could fill a condom/
haaaan, I got alot of bangers on this album/

I think any nigga talkin down on tha album is a fuckin loser…French actually done stayed real and been doin tha same type music all day. Yall actin like yall aint neva heard any of tha “Coke Boys” or”Mac n Cheese” tapes..jus listen to someone else if you not vibin instead of hatin on here or anywhere.
How does French’s dick taste?
Im tellin my mom you guys dont like the same rapper as me
You dont get props for “stayin real and doin tha same type music all day” when the music you been putting out is WACK AS FUCK
So why yall listen to it? Why yall on tha specific page of HIPHOPDX thats talkin bout French ifyall dnt like his shit..that’s tha real dick riders if you ask me..yall.skin jus burnin cause this nigga French doin it, n he doin it wit music yall dnt like..HATIN ASS NIGGAS, CNT AVOID EM NOWHERE.. ima go jam.this bitch AGAIN….haaaaaaan
everyone is entitled to their own opinion but look at the ratings fool. after 84 votes this shit is still at a 2.29
ahahHAHA You HAVE TO LIKE THIS ALBUM or YOU’RE A HATER THATS JEALOUS!!!!
FUCK OUTTA HERE WIT THAT SHIT
i fuckin hate this shit man and im on this page cause i give every artist a chance and listen to the album and then review it as neccessary simply because i love the art of hip hop. but damn so many better artists out there.
lol
hot
He is not NA but his joint is aight
Dis nicca admitted he gonna buy 1000 copies of his own album
He better buy more because nobody is buying that bullshit!
Y’all know this niccas name is Karim Kharbouch right?
That shit ain’t wavy!!!!!!!!
I thought it was a solid 4/5 . People got different taste in music so they hate but the album got a handful of summer bangers. Fuck lyrical french said.. My gun automatic, my car automatic. that shit is hot fuck u
LOL @ that shit being hot
Lol @ having summer anthems.
LOL @ being a solid 4/5
YES AGREE MYSELF RATHER DISAPOINTED WITH THIS ALBUM . 3 /4 DECENT TRACKS BUT HSI MIXTAPE STUFF WAS HOTTER . SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER !!
Why so much hate. French ain’t a lyricist hes got dope production and good hooks. I give it a 3.2/5 the lack of harry fraud and soulful production on this album was disappointing. Needed more Sanctuary, Hip-Hop, No Sunshine type tracks.
Mac & Cheese 3 was dope as fuck had loads of harry fraud beats more of those then his trap/club shit. He should of stuck with that sound.
Y’all Already know that….All the tracks really sound like ass….Y’all Already know that….All the tracks really sound like ass….OOOOOOHHHHH…..All the tracks really sound like ass….OOOOOOHHHHH….lol.
Damn this was a disaster. His mixtape were better and thats not saying much. Oh well,Got me another weed plate
He should have signed with Brick Squad too cuz this nigga sucks just like Gucci,Waka,and Queef Cheef
Gucci Mane does not fuck with French Montana no more and even called him and Nicki out a few months back for not keeping it real

Haaa. real review straight up
#trashrap
Hahahahaha #trashtrap, shame for the white people the way he acts.
daaaamn trash
i rather listen to charlie rock
is he the one who made shot caller a decent song?
very uninspired. best songs were the radio songs. alot of different types of club music on this album. it actually put me to sleep.
How can you call it album of the decade when your’e the worst part of the album… I give it a 2/5 with production and features carrying it with an occasional banger but this will be forgotten easily in the future. Nothing worthy of the praise he gave it. not complete garbage but definitely not enough to warrant what he thought it would be.
Album is predicted to sell between 45-50k!! That is a mega flop for being signed to Diddy and Ross with 57 features LMAO
Nicca is almost guaranteed to sell less than Tyler the Creator and he admitted to having Bad Boy buy at least 1000 copies
Bad Boy drops nothing but Bricks ask Machine Gun Kelly
EXCUSE MY FRENCH IS THE BEST ALBUM IN 2013. People be hating, I aint worried about Nothin!
It’s obvious your dumb ass didn’t pass the 5th grade if you think this is the best album! You’re a lame for co-signing some wack shit! You dick riders kill me! LoL
please ignore this ignorant review. im guessing your the kinda person who would co-sign anything you hear twice on your radio?
GIVE ME A CHANCE
Youtube is all about finding new artist, & though I been rapping for a while im still consider a new artist. I just want my music heard thats all, im not looking for no record deal, getting famous ‘r anything like that.! so please just spare a few sec. to check me out, & if you like what you heard please SUBSCRIBE so ill know you actually listen & support
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzBh55tD_eg
That will bring his 1st “weak” sales at around 14,000! New York doesn’t want to hear New York rappers sounding like they’re from the south anymore regardless if Hot 97 and Power 105 want to force fead you that bullshit and act like they don’t get payed to play it. The south doesn’t want to hear New York rappers sounding like they’re from the south either! This is a no win situation.
You right bruh. I’m from the south. I dont wanna hear someone for the north sound like Future or Gucci Mane.
no surprise here.. this dude is no artist, just another act that gets shoved down the people’s throats which is why he gets attention. He’s been garbage and generic as fuck. If you think this dude is talented you have no ear for music.. he’s a gimmick who hangs out with other gimmicks

anyone who likes rick ross enough to name themselves after him looses all credentials to judge anyone. really? thats the rapper you pick outa all the dope ones out there? the guy who basicly repeats the same god damn bass lines in all his beats while repeating the same god damn words over and over. BOSS! to think people say hes the current day biggie makes me sick inside. although i agree with the lyrics and content rating.
name ONE song in the last yr that had a huge impact on the radio like Pop That did
#FuckTheHaters!!
PLEASE, STOP WRITING IN MY NAME, YOU A FAKE YEBO. REAL YEBO (ME) ALWAYS TYPE EVERYTHING IN CAPITALS.
AND FRENCH DROPPED A CLASSIC ALBUM, 300K+ IN THE FIRST WEEK, BUY THAT.
THAT SONG BEING HOT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FRENCH THOUGH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE BEAT AND WAYNE AND DRAKE
French didn’t drop a classic, more like a piece of dogshit. It’ll do 45k 1st week. Don’t waste your money buying it.
“name ONE song in the last yr that had a huge impact on the radio like Pop That did”
Mercy.
sadly…Thrift Shop. -_- radio picks shitty bangers man
Thrift Shop isn’t even that bad.
Just another Illuminati puppet, dam reptilians!
i give it one star just for hearing snippets
I thought NY was coming back? LMFAO. This is not a good start LOL
turrible!
Cant wait for the Pop That Remix called FLOP THAT after he does 50k first week
Lol @ FLOP THAT.
not feelin it at all….mac n chesse 3 shuuda bin his album
should been in a bin
Shoulda been in my plate.
wack lol
He straight bit Vinnie Paz’s God of the Serengeti album cover.
he also jacked like 3 of these songs from lesser known artists
no thanks
Garbage
I think ya’ll hating too hard on French, not everyone has to come with complex lyrics, what ever happened to just having fun, simple party hip-hop? Tha Alkaholiks did that shit back in the day and everyone loved them…there’s enough room for rappers like either Kendrick Lamar or French Montana. Not everyone has to change the world, and before anyone starts calling me a kid, I’m 34…been listening to hip-hop since I can remember.
yeah theres room for them. but not in my soundtrack. i respect MCing bar for bar and verse by verse way to much to ever listen to this for long. plus the subject matter just repeats itself. im fine with 2-3 unlyrical fun party songs. but a whole album. skip
lol @whatever happened to good old party hip hop songs, shit’s all over the radio smh… Just like the French he’s gonna give up, #flopcity
What’s wrong is the people making them have no skill and put forth no effort or creativity. Its not like throwing in some internal rhyming and using an actually decent flow is going to make people go “I CAN’T ENJOY THIS AT A PARTY”
I’m not even a fan of French, I just don’t get all the hate, it’s senseless. If you don’t like his shit, don’t support it, that’s it.
It’s because he’s wack. Get that in your brain. And nobody’s supporting his shit either.
He needs max b, he’s wack. #ExcuseMyFlop
hated it. so glad i gave it a good listen before purchasing. too repetative and no good subject matter. if you like club songs then yeah this albums for you but anyone looking for actual rap with good verses and hooks that arent all about the same thing….skip this
Nas said it better “hip hop is dead”
you mean best
He sounds more associated to DJ Khaled and his family than to Rick Ross’s MMG family.
dont forget diddy
Diddy will smash on this fool.
DONT STOP FLOP THAT FLOP THAT
FLOP THAT ALBUM BIIIIITCH
This is not his best, but still he got hot production and hot hooks. Nowdays that is all you need to get it in wit this kind of music. Even though I was expectin a lil more french knowing that this is his first album, he got a couple radio hits that will make him plenty of dough. That is why he aint worry about nothing. Plus he already drop like 10 albums in the street he got some hot shit, hes definetly a hitmaker. A lot of ppl can rhyme and write good lyrics, but no everybody can write ahot hook. If he was so bad in music, then why is he outhere? Is not that easy to be mainstream. This nicca did what a lot of niccas cant do. Get money with music. Stop hating , yall make me laugh so hard! Cuz yall haters are soooo ignorant. But it is ok. That is one of the symptoms.
“he got a couple radio hits that will make him plenty of dough.”
cant be that much after he pays for producers, features, diddy and ross each taking their cut. in the case of freaks he has to give up 50% right off the top for the sample
That’s a joke, right? Everything you say is a goddamn lie.
@reality420 yeah your views and opinions are rather distorted. you’re literally blunted on reality, pal. let me give you something to help you sober up: he only got famous because of his affiliation with max b and his many (and unnecessary) cosigns.
He sould be worried bout floppin
DONT STOP FLOP THAT FLOP THAT,DONT STOP FLOP THAT FLOP THAT
FLOP THAT ALBUM BIIIITTCH
This shit sucks! Get sum skills n act like were you from.. That ain’t new york B!
So what if he prefers another sound over the NY sound? The real issue here shouldn’t be that it doesn’t sound like NY, but that he sucks horribly.
he aint from new york though b hes from morocco
his name is karim Kharbouch thats not wavy at all
wack wacker French Montana
this album isnt good, but ive heard worse. The beats are good. I know its a debut album but he’s got to get his lyrical dexterity up! DROP THAT!
Max B is rolling in his cell
hes actually on the intro…recorded from jail…
Great!
Definitely not what I was expecting… he sounds better when he’s on boom-bap beats oddly enough… I still brought the album.. I like what he’s trying to do.. and considering all the free mixtapes he’s made that are worthy.. i’m not upset… but the Ice Cream remake joint was the best.. he sounds better when he’s just having fun and not thinking too much..HAAAAAH!!!
french montana thinking too much? i dont think thats ever happened hannnnnnnnn
the album was aight.. ive been waiting for this album since 2010.. hes lyrical when he wants to be but this album desperatly needed good lyrics.

Dude straight trash,no lyrics just hooks dragged into songs..
We need to take hip hop back to da 90’s and show these fake rappers
What real rapping is about
1st off Who is We?It’s funny how people want lyrics. He says himself he’s not lyrical but you idiots keep saying oh the album needs more lyrics.????????????????????????????????????????????????????When was he ever lyrical to begin with? Like was he supposed to be lyrical over night? Why even waste your time listening to the album, when you guys want lyrics? Who’s the real dummys here? My evauluation is its just some shit to bump. You guys talking like you was expecting classic. The game is flooded rite now. The 90’s is gone. Wake up it’s 2013!!!! There are different lanes in rap. French is in lane. Nas is in his lane. Ross is in his lane. Kendrick is in his lane.I could keep going. Stop acting like you was expecting this album to save hip-hop.
And guess what? This shit is garbage.

My honest opinion. Most of the beats are listenable and entertaining, and in the hands of a better rapper would equate to a very good album.
As it is the best verse is Drake’s guest bit on “Pop That”
what does MC stand for?
For production to be 5/5 it would have to be some Illmatic type shit… If I’m honest I’ve only heard “Pop That”, that’s all I need to know that’s it’s certainly not 5/5.
French worked hard and really needs your hard earned money. He has 3 year old boy to feed and a baby mama to take care of. Also he is bringing back that real gritty NY rap that has been gone for so long. French is a man with a vision and he needs your help to make his vision a reality. Frenchs new album will forever change hip hop, it will have rappers look at themselves and realize that things get deeper than this rap shit (to use the words of the great Rick Ross). French Montana is going to save hip hop, he is that great light at the end of a dark dark tunnel!
CLEARLY….CLEARLY….CLEARLY……YOU “MUST” BE JOKING.
French look like Humpty from Digital Underground…pffff..LOL..with worse music!
French Ducktona is a fucking donkey.

He’s been trash. Indians dont rap.

The Lp is wack as fuck! FM has always been wack.
This guy has so many features, this proves he is nothing as a solo artist.
Wack as…..
Wack.
i thought this shit was hard…i guess im the only one lol
agree
49,775 First week!!!
Couldn’t even do 50K! So thats less than Chief Keef, Slaughterhouse, Tyler the Creator and Tyga to name a few!!!!
Disappointed! I really looked forward to this album release, I bought the delux edition and still had a hard time finding tracks that stood out, and would be a track I would want to play. I really enjoyed his coke boyz mixtape, and wish he would have kept the features for only rappers in his coke boyz click. A lot of the features are terrible and really ruin the record, especially rick ross. Disappointed!
pure garbage..stop..horrible material…torture…
Not feelin it…….at all.
GWNO STRASZNE. SHIT.
You cant be extremely critical of this album. It boasts a handful of pretty decent songs going by what is obtainable on both the radio and on charts. production and hooks are at par with the generic formula that seems to be working these days. it’s definitely great for riding to in the whip. french is known for excessive features so the taps into the fan base of these artistes along with those he’s already garnered from the mixtape series. let’s just watch the sales and then decide if the objectives were met.other than that, its pretty much what is expected from french montana. if you are in dire need of new york sounds and all that complex wordplay…u should know who to listen tocos there are quite a few options out
RICK SLICK : THE NEXT TO BLOW MUSIC ON SOUND CLOUD !!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a bullshit rating. im no hardcore french fan but the album is undeniably hot. either the reviewer is just hatin or he’s straight deaf.
Nah, he was being generous with the rating…Frenchie is a disgrace to MCs and the East Coast. -5 mics…
Album is a recycle bin classic. To the writer, it is a sample from ‘Ice Cream’ not C.R.E.A.M. How are you writing for a hiphop site and get that wrong.
STOP HATING ON MY NIGGA HANNNNNNNNNN
wack af
how did this clown even make it
He didn’t….you don’t have to worry bout nothin’ (Haaaaaa!) He will eventually fade away like cigarette smoke!
Cool
not a bad 3/5
asfxc
Str8 fire my G
You’re the donkey of the year for that…this shit is trash! All these East Coast niggas biting the South then turn around and hate on the South….fuck niggas! Frenchie flopped and Diddy bout to make this nigga get that cheesecake. Better get to riding around with that work, cuz rappin’ ain’t gon work…
That second verse he had on gifted was crazy…for a dude that doesnt pride himself on lyrics that verse was impressive by most standards…
Come on man. Doesn’t pride himself on lyrics? It’s easy to not pride yourself of lyrics when the only reason your signed is cause your boys with some real street dudes. Dude has made a LIFE off of cosigns and ZERO talent.
people need to stop saying hiphop is dead… There is actually more balance in hiphop right now (both on the radio and in the streets) than there has been in a very long time.
Nothing to see here people and this dude try’d and go against 50 what a joke!
I think it’s a dope album
Suckkkkkks
people go to french for features… nuff said hes popular and a hit maker
Negro please, you’re talking crap, this album isn’t worth using as a tea coaster. I can’t understand how you can have an album like this just talking garbage the whole way through not making any sense or saying anything of substance… The beats weren’t even all that
CookieCutter Trap Music
Shit sucks, this ain’t rap music
weak as f*ck>>
i consistently need more syllables out of ol’ boy if he wants me to listen a whole track
coke boy baby
who’s the dunkeyyyyyy now
hannnnnnnnnn hannnnn fucking haters in rap hate so much on everything hiphop fraud fans are full of haters and hypocryts. Montana goes hard and his music is wavy coke boy BABY.
I like French Montana but this album could have been a mixtape
garbage.
50 bodied you, you just laid the chalk down
o
Worst album of 2013
French used to be my nigga but this album was wack for real…. it could of been a dj khalad album… wen he was doin that mac and the cheese and the coke boys, he was goin in…. nigga put out the worst debut album ever… 50 cent jus sittin back chillin watchin all des niggaz flop
AB
WATCH OUT! tight jeans and seatheater in cars can destroy you semen quality

HAAAAANN!!!
Trashhhhhhhhhh nigga is buginnn naaaah..He should be bannned from hip hop bruh
-5 rubbish album

Fucking French retard.
How did this get 2,5 stars??? Even the reviewer said it is complete trash then why give it a rating that an average album should get??? This album is terrible 0,5 stars.
Trash. Dude can’t rap.
