"Webbie is one of the sources for the much talked about hate of the Southern region of Hip Hop. He's Often dismissed as a "bling" rapper making mindless club music with no lyrical ability. Well I wouldn't quite call that dismissed more like ridicule. These statements mostly uttered by those "real hip hop fans" who hear one song and make judgment without ever hearing the album. Well I'm hear to tell you that Webbie is here to stay! His first album SAVAGE LIFE was more of a hood, ghetto album that just happened to catch on with the nation. If you heard that album it was pure unadulterated, high quality southern gangsta music complete with anthems, great beats, and great rapping. That's how we roll down here.



Savage Life 2 however is not like it's predecessor because Webbie has really grown as a rapper and this time out is more balanced and focused. His rhymes are definitely improved and his flow is as liquid as ever. His content has been upped as witnessed on Independent and especially on Just Like Me which is an ode to son where the father (webbie) is teaching his son basic father to son things like wear a rubber, watch ya back, choose ya friends well etc. I was surprised by this song but hey people do grow and change. Don't get it wrong though, Webbie still stays true to hip hop by making songs with great beats and anthems. Songs like 2 Smooth, Thuggin, I Know, Fly As An Eagle, and Six 12's definitely get the job done. BUT it's songs like Miracle, You A Trip, I Miss You ft. LeToya Luckett, and Just Like Me that make this album stand out from the rest.



If you are still new to the southern region, I don't know if webbie is where you should start because he does have a thick accent, with non commercial dirty south beats and content. However, it's definitely worth a try because Savage Life 2 is a good album and it won't disappoint fans of southern music. 4.5 stars.
