Juvenile – 400 Degreez is the album that catapulted Cash Money Records into mainstream success and stardom. The loudness of New Orleans bounce is what helped this album become a success. Juvenile never fails to disappoint audiences with his raps.

The song Back That Azz Up is what made Cash Money take over the years of 1998 through 2001. The loudness of New Orleans bounce sound in this song and its versatile sexually provocative lyrics are what made the song an international success.

Ha is the other song which made Juvenile a mainstream success due to his unique style of rapping where he ends every line with “ha”. The song also has that New Orleans bounce sound. Juvenile comes with that Dirty South rap sound. You can never go wrong when you have Mannie Fresh producing a song for you. His beats are pure fire!

Mannie Fresh put down the hardest beats on the title track. There is no denying that. Cash Money was slaying all that came against them. Juvenile was no exception as he was their most exceptional lyricist.

Juvenile On Fire is a cautionary tale telling us not all women can be trusted. Fellas, some of these chicks out here be sack chasers. Be careful for that especially. Juvenile On Fire is true in that sense. It’s sociology on music here.

Follow Me Now calms down the mood of this album. The song similar to a fiesta and has a Brazilian tropicana vibe. Follow Me Now is one of Juvenile’s underrated songs that have lyrical skill.

I rate this album 5/5*****!!

With the underground success of his debut album The Game Is Cold, he soon recorded a follow-up album called Powder Shop. New Orleans bounce meets gangsta rap. Lil Slim can really take credit for Cash Money’s early sound. The tracks are produced by Manny Fresh. Some of the songs have samples in them. These were the rhymes that the whole city switched up for in their bounce songs. This album is hot from beginning to end and is without a doubt an instant classic! You can’t find good rap like this anymore.

Lil Slim creates his own style of bounce music called Eagle Street Bounce on the track Eagle St. Bounce. The song itself is a classic among Lil Slim fans due to the sound of New Orleans bounce music. Eagle St. Bounce is an original song Lil Slim wrote himself.

Hoes I used to sweat II revisits Hoes I used to sweat from the The Game Is Cold album. Lil Slim mimics and parodies the style DJ Jubilee and his song Stop, Pause. Although it’s a decent song with low production, the song itself gets repetitive with subject material.

Blunt after Blunt is a decent song Mannie Fresh produced himself. Powder Shop is title track that has many drug references galore.

I rate this album 4/5****!!

Lil Slim and B-32 keep it real on the track Cold Game. It’s a cold game out there. It’s a dark gangsta rap track from the Dirty South. It was the hustling that made the big bucks. Lil Slim was a hustler in the streets of NOLA.
