Overall Best CD of the Year...So far!!!

OK...Let me first start by sayin been and was disappointed w/ his his latest and earlier cds...but this one blows them away! he came shootin hot w/ some bad azz beats and lyrics. Some of this shiot is straight fire and his he makes his lyrics w/ a sense of humor which adds to these songs. REALITY CHECK is on FIRRREE! HA, ONE!

JUST WHAT HIP-HOP NEEDED. 4.5 STARS.

Along with a few other albums such as "My Ghetto Report Card", and "King" to name a few, this album has been eating up the Pop charts and R&B-Hip-Hop charts for a while. Whether it's on 106 and Park, or TRL, Juve just isn't going downslowly on this one. If I do say so myself, Hip-Hop/Rap is in it's darkest hour, with a torch lit by "Snap Music", and "Durrty South". This is exactly the kind of boost we needed to show that Rap is not dead, but just getting warmed up.

Juvi Needs His OWN Reality Check After Putting This Out!

Juvenile has been at the bottom and the top in his career. He marinated on the underground until Cash Money exploded into the rap arena as well as mainstream radio in the mid-to-late 90s. But then people got tired of hearing the same ole product that the label had to offer. Even labelmates were getting sick of each other and the politics that was going down, leaving some to either depart or find other ways of getting their name out there. B.G. went the independent route, holding on to a small fraction of the fans he had when he was a Hot Boy. Turk followed suit, but soon found himself behind bars instead of spitting bars. Juvenile found himself going the solo route, although he did briefly return in 2003 for Juve The Great. Now with Atlantic, Juvi has some catching up to do with his newest release Reality Check.
