Crunchy Black – From Me To You

    Crunchy Black’s new album
    is out, but he ain’t havin’ it. According to various reports, this album was
    released without his permission, comprised of music he made when he was still
    down with Three 6 Mafia. (Sorry…I meant, the Oscar Award
    winning Three 6 Mafia.) Nevertheless, the album is being
    released – much to his dismay.

    With track titles like “Suck on the Straw,” “I Play Bitches,” and “Snitchin’ Azz Bitches,”
    the album certainly does not boast incredible creativity or versatility. Don’t
    expect much in those departments. The various repetitive, recycled hooks over
    high energy beats do nothing for Crunchy‘s appeal as the
    formula merely plays off Three 6‘s success
    but that gets old quick.

    How much effort did Crunchy really put into writing this?

    “Suck on the straw bitch! Suck on the straw! Suck on the straw bitch! Suck
    on the straw!”

    Later, his nursery rhyme style flow takes even more away from the album. When
    he shines with melody-filled verses, it is still somewhat devalued by the
    absurd redundant nature of his lyrics. Crime, bitches, and lavish objects are
    what the album is about and that isn’t all bad if you’re into that because that
    actually goes on for 16 tracks. (In reality, there are only eleven songs and five
    bonus cuts, which are screwed remix tracks.)

    I can’t say there is absolutely nothing good about the album, but it’s hard to
    find the positive aspects of it with so many negatives present. While the
    topics he chooses are cliché, there are some rappers who speak on the same
    topics with skill and sometimes originality. Here, we get little skill and even
    less originality. While Crunchy may be claiming that this was
    released without his approval, he still penned and recorded these verses so he
    can’t truly get away from it. If he is actually against the release, he won’t
    be the only one. If this is his gift to us, I hope he included the receipt.
