CD Review: Styles P - Time Is Money

Sunday December 17, 2006
Tis' the season for Holiday Styles. (A friend told me to say that.) Seriously, Styles P's Time Is Money drops just in time for last minute holiday shopping, but is it worth the fifty years we waited for Curtis Jackson Interscope to finally lift the embargo on this? See our Time Is Money review for the verdict.

The album was a verrry similar parallel to X’s Full Circle….anyone else agree?

(3) Ivan Rott says:

Similar deep, dark blue cover with semi-gothic font. Relatively short album with plenty of guest spots and a couple prominent “preachy” tracks (Testify/Black Brown; Leave a Message/Thank You). The former pair close out the album, respectively.
Then again, there are plenty of differences, but overall, these two MC’s produced an album with similar, intentions, if you will.
…not to mention I’ve been waiting for both of these albums for exactly 2 years! ;-D

PDOGG,
There WAS no Nero in Greek mythology. Nero was an actual Roman emperor, not a mythological one. The mythical figure you’re probably thinking of is Oedipus, from whom the term “Oedipus compelex” is derived.

I want to comment on the artist known as g. From nothin’ to lose.. I’m not sure, if he is with nothin’ to lose anymore, but he is one of the realest artist out there in the detroit scene right now. G. A.k.a. G. G.u.t.t.a. (pronounced g dot gutta) dropped a compliation album with nothin’ ii lose featuring a song with him and bobby brown called ghetto life. G. G.u.t.t.a. Also dropped a song called don’t make me that hit 25 on the billboard charts… It’s funny because, i was downtown at hockeytown that night the fight went down with styles p, and it was g.g.u.t.t.a. From nothin’ to lose who beat the sh*t out of styles p and a couple of his bodyguards that night… Trick trick mentioned it a couple of times and gave g. His props for holding him and the good squad that night… Trick trick mentioned it in the mass appeal article and in the illest magazine article… Since that night of the beat down, like a real n*gga should do… I’ve noticed that g. G.u.t.t.a. Has not mentioned too much about that night and let trick trick take all of the shine for the beat down… Where the realness in that trick trick? anyway, i came across a website: .n2lmusic, where you can see more on the artist known as g. A.k.a g.g.u.t.t.a. I also see that g. Performed with trick trick and the goon squad at the mt. Clemens concert with obie trice and paradime.. From what i hear, g. Blazed the stage… Giving props to g. G.u.t.t.a.,,, keep dropping them blazin lyrics… You are definitely one of the realest artist in detroit

This is to reply to the comment made by dahardlife.. Thanks for the information on G. from Nothin II lose a.k.a. G. G.U.T.T.A… I actually have some of his music from the Nothin II lose Everything II Gain CD. And, I must say that G. is the truth.. If you have any more information on his music, let me know… One.

Yeah, I’ve heard G.’s music too. He’s hot (burnin’ and on fire). The brother is good and I don’t like rap but he has definityly changed my mind about hip hop rap music. If you really take a listen to him he is all real. His music is the truth and from the heart. Once this brotha hit the airwaves we definitely support him. Give’em his props people.

(19) Mariah says:

Real is Real and Fake is Fake. Period. I am a fan of real music.Music with a message. I pay attention more so to the lyrics rather than the beat. Thats where the story comes into effect.I love when you can come from the “ghetto” and want something more out of this life and motivate and demonstrate the way it should be done to reach that certain goal. I love G’s music , personally i cant say that i care for him much but he does tell a story when he’s on the mic and i respect that but he needs to work on himself behind the scenes. Become a more patient man and respect the fact that other people have feelings just like his and tend to others and not just focus on himself, thats when he will be truely and sincerely blessed so that the his voice will be internationally heard , not only us here in Detoit and the surrounding areas. G you know what and who it is.
