Summary: Take cover
Comment: I'll admit that I have never been a big fan of Baby Bash, especially after hearing his last album, Super Saucy. Still, I decided to listen to his latest album, Cyclone.
It appears that Bash is trying to become the next LL Cool J with this release, as this is his first official album not to feature an EXPLICIT CONTENT label (although there IS profanity on the album but it's just edited out; I never understood the point of that). If people don't understand my LL comparison, it's because Bash spends most of the time rapping to the ladies. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but the problem also lies in the WAY he raps. Now, I'm used to him rapping in a low voice, but there's a difference between sounding mellow and, well, just sounding dull.
I never was very impressed with the T-Pain-assisted title track, but the reality is that that's actually one of the better songs. Other songs about ladies fail, like "Mamacita", "What Is It" and the corny "Supa Chic". The latter features Paula DeAnda, and although she still has a lovely voice, her chorus can't even save the song, nor can her hook on "As Days Go By" (but she IS going a little off-key at the end of the song). Troubled relationship songs don't work either, as evidenced by "Thrill Is Gone" (with Ryan Tedder).
I have no idea what Keith Sweat is doing on this album, but he gives an uninspired chorus on an already lackluster "Don't Stop" (which will make you do the opposite). Things aren't much better when Bash changes the subject either, as evidenced by "Mean Mug"; and the obligatory song about cars, "Spreewells Spinnin'", features Chingo Bling being wack as usual. And that brings me to another point: there are way too many guest stars on here: Bash is only alone on three of the fourteen tracks -- but when he IS alone, the results aren't any better ("Just Like That", anyone?). And the end of the album features an "interview" with him that neither helps nor hurts the album.
In the end, Cyclone isn't worth picking up because it really IS a natural disaster.

Comment: If you like Cyclone then you will LOVE.. Smoke Sessions by Devin the Dude. This is one of the best of 2008 which also features.

Summary: The party jam of the century
Comment: I probably throw some of the greatest parties that the city of Gretna has ever seen. There is usually a theme like a pajama party, cops and robbers or characters from Keebler commercials over the years, but it is always off the hook. One of the keys to my parties, which are attended by people from Iowa, Kansas and Missouri as well, is a great music mix. Some of the top jams I've been throwing on mixes this year are Let's go by Trick Daddy, Speedin by Rick Ross and I feel like a woman by Shania Twain featuring T-Pain. Those are great tracks, but then came cyclone. It is the perfect jam for my events. The laydays are all up on me and the crew when that track comes on. I threw a Monopoly themed jam last weekend that drew over 2,000 people. The beverages were flowing, everyone was paying with monopoly cash and you got $200 whenever you passed go. I never told anyone where go is, so they got angry. They got over it because I threw on some Baby Bash. I was pulling off dance moves that the solid gold dancers only dreamed about. I crowned myself king of the party, picked my queen and we retired to the chambers before the vikings attacked.
Once upon a time there was a prince named average, he got run over by a dumptruck. I drove that dumptruck.

Summary: Is there an UN-edited version?
Comment: This is a great CD, but all the swear words are missing. It's really irritating, especially on a rap album, as it screws up the flow. Is an unedited version available? If so, get that one.

Summary: Great CD
Comment: This is a CD that I can say that I really enjoyed. There is a little of everything for everybody. Baby Bash's last CD's I listened too, but not as much as I have listened to this. Don't be afraid to purchase it! I think you will enjoy it too.

2007 album from the Vallejo rapper, his first album for Arista Records. Cyclone kicks off with his most accessible jam to date, the undeniable title track featuring guest T-Pain and Lil Jon (who also produced the cut). Features guest appearances from Jean, Miguel, Paula Deanda, Andre from Danity Kane and more. 11 tracks. Arista.
