Since your time is probably more valuable than mine is, I’ll start by letting you know that as soon as you pop this round shit cake into your CD player that you’ll be asking yourself; is it over yet. Over the past year I’ve heard some chatter about this character OJ Da Juiceman but I never really felt the need to check into. After you finisg reading this review you’ll understand exactly why you’ve probably never heard of him. 

Producer Zaytoven chunks off a respectable horn heavy sound bed for OJ to spit senseless bars about his illustrious spending habits on the opening “I Be Trappin.” On “Hell Of A Life” OJ comes with more limited subject matter, all of which revolves around new cars, rims, the trap, and repetitive use of the word “aye.” By the time you reach the album’s sixth song you’ll most likely have already grown tired of all the “trap” and “gettin money” references but OJ makes sure he makes himself very clear on the likes of “I’m Getting Money” and “Washing Powder.”

Surprisingly the country’s two dumbest rappers combine for a halfway listenable track on the Zaytoven helmed “Make The Trap Say Aye.” Side note; how the fuck do you make a trap say “aye”? Maybe I’m a little too analytical but when a rapper spits bars like, “the ice around my neck came from Juice sellin dope / and the ice around my pinkie came from Juice whippin coke / and I still fuck wit Pepsi but Juice into Coke”, it makes me feel very comfortable in the fact that I didn’t spend a cent on this shit.

Call me ignorant if you want, but I thought that the whole trap craze was basically done. Besides the two rappers who made the term famous, i.e. TI and Young Jeezy, I don’t think that any one else should be permitted to say that shit on record anymore. Furthermore, please don’t think that you are cut out to be a rapper just because you might have grown up around some drug dealers. Basically OJ Da Juiceman’s debut album, The Other Side Of The Trap, is a prime example of everything that is wrong with rap today!
