Flo Rida - R.O.O.T.S.

For those have bee following my blog from the beginning you will know that Flo Rida was my first album review. So someplace in my heart I have a soft spot for him. Flo Rida has been one of the most experimental mainstream Hip-Hop artists. He shamelessly samples tons of classics and does it to a lot of downloads on iTunes.

Flo Rida is not known from his rapping as much as his catchy chorus'. This album is full of them. Some great examples are "Right Round", "Touch Me", "Sugar", "Gotta Get It (Dancer)" and "Jump". They all have some amazing chorus' which is really the genius of Flo Rida. The collaborator's on the album are Akon, Nelly Furtado, Ne-Yo, Ke$ha and Wyclef Jean.

For people who are looking for a Rap album your not going to get it here. Even when he rap's it's far from good. The best tracks on the album are all the tracks with guests. Flo Rida is not a rapper as he is a master collaborator. Sort of like Timbaland but he doesn't produce.

The album is all but salvaged by the collaborators. If not for them this would be a trashy album. But the amount of singles on the album are hard to ignore. I would say their are atleast 5 good singles. It's pretty amazing how this album comes out as a good addition to any iPod and any stereo system.

Overall: 73/100 (Best Tracks: Right Round, Sugar, Touch Me and Be On You)

I Can't Believe It!

Did you know that Flo Rida was #1 in 3 countries. He's back already. I mean the song is okay but people actually pay 99 cents for that track? I'm not trying to be mean but the track isn't that strong. I'm always confused on how the mass thinks. But I have to give him credit, he must be a hard worker. The guy is releasing 2 albums in one year.

EXCLUSIVE Flo Rida - Mail On Sunday (Review)

By now we've all heard the song on the radio, the song with the repetitive "Low,low,low...". Once people found out who was the creator of this record most (who were amazingly not annoyed by it) were on the prowl for the album. The only problem was the album was not out yet! So, this is the answer to all your distress. Flo Rida's new album 'Mail On Sunday'. If you enjoyed the track 'Low' then yes, this album is for you. The album is full with beats that you will hear in clubs and catch your mom shaking her rump-shaker to in the privacy of her own home. In my opinion this album is above your average Hip-Hop/Rap album for the main reason that the production from Timbaland, J.R. Rotem, T-Pain and Will.I.Am just to name a few, make the album make up for some of it's flaws. Flo Rida said he wanted to make an album that you would hear at a club and you can listen to in your car. He has achieved this. Although the album can get a little generic and typical of the hip-hop genre it definitely has some gems like 'Roll', 'Elevator' and 'Priceless'. I do not think I would ever said this about a hip-hop album but, I wish the album had more collaborations. The reason is I believe Flo Rida is pushed more when he is with other artists rather then solo on his tracks. Sample the songs mentioned before (Roll,Elevator and Priceless) and if you enjoy the 3 of them. I would buy the album.

Rating: 3.25 / 5
