Continuing his drug-themed series of albums, Screwed Up Click member Z-Ro presents his latest LP, Meth. As if Crack, Cocaine, and Heroin weren’t enough, Meth is a fourteen-track offering of laid-back Southern raps and thugged out crooning, with the trademark Houston sound that only a few sips of purple-hued Sprite and Southern hospitality can create.
Important to note is that Meth is equal parts rapping and singing, and Z-Ro does both pretty impressively. From time to time when his flow tries to get too speedy, some awkwardness arises, and he’s not exactly John Legend with the vocals, but it’s his Texan panache that gives Z-Ro’s style an edge. Not everyone can sing about having sex with a woman one last time before she marries another man alongside rapper Willie D who drops bars such as “your groom ain’t freaky like me down there, I’m well rounded with the lick game, dude’s is square, by this time tomorrow you’ll be walking the aisle, but I’ma be the reason you smile” as heard on “One Mo Time.”
In fact, the songs focusing on the opposite sex in general hold the most entertainment value on Meth. The first few seconds of “Pig Feet” 
will have heads nodding with its smoothed out instrumental, and by the time the hook is over, laughter will ensue. The title makes sense thanks to the hook, as he sings, “girl I can see the pig feet hanging out your pants, I’m only gon’ give you one more chance to give that thing to me.” As he threatens to “break [her] kidneys,” Z-Ro asks his woman of choice “so what you drinkin’, what you smoking’ shorty? Loosen up and prepare yourself for this poking, shorty.”
Other standouts include “No Reason,” a more club-appropriate, aggressive track, featuring Z-Ro not giving a fuck as he claims, “fuck the world for no reason, bitch, nothing righteous bout none of y’all niggas, none of y’all niggas don’t know Jesus, bitch.” “Never Had Love” is a proclamation of money’s superiority over love in Ro’s life, and he even borrows the melody from the chorus on “Mo Money Mo Problems” as he claims “Y’all already know what they want from me, simply to see me B-R-O-K-E and D-E-A-D.” Slower points include “Southern Girl,” featuring Yo Gotti, with average flows and a subject matter touched upon countless times in the past.
Especially with features from people like Bun B (“Ro and Bun” ) and Slim Thug, Meth is another album that will contribute to the legacy of that quintessentially Houston-area sound. Its off-kilter “love” songs will prove to be perfect crusing music for non-monogamous men, and within its fourteen tracks are quite a few bars worth quoting.
Wack review. This album bumps!! 4 stars at least…
Shame too.
Probably the weakest Zro album but still better then 90% of the other albums out. Sound like scraps put together by Rapalot but still I say 3.5. Get Crack or Let The truth Be Told if u new to Ro
that Cocaine double disk was fire too. way better than this.
this is better than crack i think. the second half of crack was mostly fire but it began very weak and isn’t as consistent as this.
if crack got 4 this should get at least that. whenever i go to jam cole world this album always ends up coming on instead.
Better Than A 3
a 3…
the subject matter has been done before, but i really like this record. Z-Ro knows how to make good flowing albums and this is another one of those.
good music finally
The hardest album out right now
the whole album is dope as fuck
3 stars ? wtf 4.5 stars More like it
way better than tha carter 4 for sure .

BEST OUT OF THE DRUG ALBUMS HE STARTED 4/5 SORRY TO SAY I DID NOT LIKE PIGS FEET SONG BUT WHEN WE RIDE WAS FIRE

We Ride is the best song album Z-Ro is heavily underrated
whole album is straight fire. dx are clowns they fuck up everything so i wouldnt pay much mind to their review.
z ro for life peeps… one deep til i die!!
Overall solid album, Z-ro came out hard with a new style. He’s sung before, but he goes almost all out on this one. Songs are pretty smooth for the most part. Not classic like his old releases, but it’s definitely good.

where can i download this z-ro-meth cd
Classic Z-ro
This album is very nice specially with the new sound he gave it. Beans & Cornbread really giving him a great sound. Zro is always zro I love is lyrics and he puts the soul back in the hip hop. Cant wait til he drops his r&b album. The only thing I dont like that he names his albums after drugs. I mean one or two albums ok but thata should be enough. It time to put himself in the titles insted of names from differwent drugs. Z-ro 4 life/ regards from Gothenburg ,Sweden
real shit
