"I like Koopsta Knicca a lot. I have been a big fan, ever since da Devil's Playground dropped-- one of the tightest Three 6 CD's and Koop's first solo project. He had DJ Paul behind him on that one and the production was great. Then he dropped the K Project, which was -really- hard to get into since the production was so horrible. Weak beats. He re-did lyrics from Devil's Playground on K-project with new beats.
THEN he dropped De Inevitable, and I was feelin him again. Good CD. But guess what.. he uses a lot of recycled lyrics again with new beats. I figured ok.. he just didn't like K Project and wanted to use some old lyrics. But on this CD he does it AGAIN... this CD has even MORE borrowed lyrics and songs from his first solo project, K project, etc. just done to new beats. He even goes all the way back to his old Three 6 Mafia days, taking verses he wrote for World Domination and rapping then again to new beats.
Don't get me wrong I am down for Koop and have been trying to support him, but it really seems like he's trying to cash in on the same damn lyrics/raps over and over again with different song titles and new albums. Anyone who has bought all of his CDs (now I have ALL 4 koop solo projects) will realize he is just taking the same material and doing it to new beats on every CD. It's kinda getting old. Get Da Devil's Playground, get De Inevitable, but SKIP this one and Da K Project... unless you want to hear the same stuff over and over.
Oh yeah, I do really like #9 though, "Everlast", where he has a 2Pac sample, the young and the restless theme music for a beat, and he raps about what happened with him in Memphis before and after he left Three 6."
KOOP DID IT AGAIN

"KOOPSTA KNICCA IS A REALLY TALENTED ARTIST TO ME FROM THE TIME HE USED TO BE WITH THE SIX UP UNTIL NOW. I HAVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS CD'S AND THIS ONE IS PRETTY GOOD. ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT HE ALWAYS ENDS UP PUTTING SOME OF HIS OLD SONGS ON HIS NEW CD'S AND THAT CAN GET ANNOYING BECAUSE WHENEVER HE DROPS A NEW CD I WANT ALL NEW SONGS. AND HE USES OLD LYRICS TO NEW BEATS ON LIFE IN BONDAGE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT THIS CD IS DAMN GOOD PRODUCTION WISE AND LRYIC WISE. THERE ARE A FEW HIDDEN TRACKS AND THEY ARE BANGING TOO. THIS HAS BEEN HIS BEST CD SINCE HE LEFT THREE SIX THERE ARE A FEW SKITS WHERE HE ADDRESSES THREE SIX ABOUT NOT MENTIONING HIS NAME IN THE INTERVIEWS AND THAT REALLY SEEMS TO BOTHER HIM CAUSE HE SAY HE DID ALOT TO PUT MEMPHIS ON THE MAP. WHEN HE USED TO RIDE WIT THEM. ANYWAYS THIS CD IS A GREAT CD BUT I KNOW IT WILL NEVER GO BIG THE WAY KOOP WANTS IT TOO. DONT GIVE UP KOOP CAUSE U A TALENTED PERSON AND NOTHING CAN STOP U"
KOOPSTA IS AT IT AGAIN...FORGET TWO SIX MAFIA...~!!!!
