Call this one concreteplayalisticbrainfoodmusik. A natural-sounding team-up between Kentucky’s proudly self-proclaimed “barnyard’s baddest” crew and the Organized Noize production unit, who are entrusted to handle the entirety of the project, Nappy Dot Org is another fine chapter in the Nappy Roots story that leaves you wishing a little more of the commercial southern shine could be directed the underrated group’s way.
Smartly short at only 11 tracks, the album impresses from the off, with “Legends Live On” coming off like vintage Goodie Mob back in their early earthy era, and “Country Boy Return,” all handclaps and jutting synth stabs, hinting that it could be adopted as a minor anthem for the group. By the time of “Ea$y Money,” with its electro-tendencies and warped bass-line, you suspect that more than a few of the productions were are one-point previously ear-marked for Outkast. Organized Noise have a proven track record of producing quality, but sometimes it takes hearing rappers other than Andre and Big Boi to appreciate the unit’s talent. Crucially, the production they’ve served up here has also given Nappy Roots something of a chance at notching up some renewed club or radio appeal: “Y’All Party” threatens to break into Debbie Deb’s freestyle anthem “When I Hear Music,” while tracks like “Good & Evil” and “Congratulations” 
benefit from being hook-heavy.
“We put the South on another level,” the Nappy Roots boast right at the beginning of the project. They did, with “Awnaw” and their Grammy-nominated tryst with Anthony Hamilton, “Po’ Folks.” But since then, the south has moved on, and mined the trap-rap formula to commercial riches. It’s a template Nappy Roots has always resisted the urge to switch-up and tap into. Hopefully Nappy Dot Org will reward their virtuous stance.
Can’t wait til tomorrow so I can hear it!!! I love Hey Love, Congratulations, and Pete Rose…….
I LOVE YOU NAPPY ROOTS!!! ALBUM OF THE YEAR, COMEBACK OF THE DECADE!!!
I havent got the album yet but i bet its great like the humdinger which was slept on foreal
HHC is in the building
this.

Terribly disappointed in this. It’s no Watermelon…, or even Wooden Leather. I figured with Organized Noize producing it would be a guaranteed 5 star album, but even the production is disappointing.
3 stars (I’m being generous)
they never been the same since profit left
It’s a pretty dope album but not as good as Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz or the HIGHLY SLEPT ON Pursuit of Nappyness. 4 Stars.
A once in a generation album that will leave you completely speechless. NappyDotOrg = Instant Classic
This is some of the BEST work these guys have ever done. You can hear the growth in every verse and in Organized Noize production as well.
A true disappointment to a longtime fan of Organized and Nappy. The single made this an instant purchase, and it just sounded off.
Good and Evil = song of the year
AMAZING
timeless album
NAPPY ROOTS NEVER DISAPPOINTMENT N THEY ALWAYS DROP CLASSIC COUNTRY SHIT
this album is god awful. when the intro kicks in you think it’s going to be a damn classic, but then falls off and keeps falling. the hole thing feels cheap even the artwork and disc which looks amatuer. i got my album today from best buy excited to hear it and this blows. i hate it. the rhymes are terrible. it could use a real mastering job. the beats are ok, but nappy doesn’t take advantage of the melodies. i loved the humdinger. pursuit wasn’t as good. this is a damn nightmare. sloppy roots. sloopy dot org. – dj southside
Loved it, they are damn underrated…shiiiiiiiiiiit
Massive letdown.
nappy roots is either hit or miss . some of these stuff is dope , its cool they do they own thang tho . 3 stars
Great CD. These guys are underrated and spit fire. Everyone needs this CD in their collection. Good and Evil, Easy Money, Give Me a Sign, Ya’ll Party, Pete Rose…just fire
Massive letdown. I was ready to buy this, thank god I didn’t.
still bumpin hard
Great work! Real Hip Hop!!!
great shit…keep it nappy and keep the music coming
pete rose, congratulations, legends live on. that right there is enough for me. that pete rose joint goes 2 hard.
well written
Why did they stop doing those tracks where they spit fast like did on the Watermelon chicken and grits album… that was the only album they did that and it was the best album
FANTASTIC
