multi-platinum selling recording artist Birdman is primed to rule with "Pricele$$". Three singles from the album are burning up the radio airwaves as anticipation for the album escalates. Birdman's current single, "Money T... more »o Blow," featuring the vocals of reigning Cash Money superstar Lil Wayne and Young Money's newest red-hot addition Drake, was the No. 1 most added song at Urban Radio. Produced by the talented Drumma Boy (Rick Ross, T.I., Fabolous, Plies, Young Jeezy), "Money To Blow" reached over 1 million listeners in its first week of release. On a similar trajectory, the banger "Always Strapped," produced by Mr. Beatz (Rick Ross, T-Pain & Lil Wayne) reached No. 5 on Urban Radio charts and has a combined radio audience of 433 million in Top 40, Crossover, and Urban. "Always Strapped" is a Top 10 Ringtone for the Universal Motown Record Group, with 350,000 downloads sold to date. The buzz for Priceless continues to rise with new Cash Money signee Jay Sean bringing his British sensibility to Birdman's "Written on Her," which was the No. 1 most added track on Crossover Radio as of August 25th, attracting an audience of 8.5 million. "Written on Her," is No. 22 on the Crossover Charts, is gaining momentum with a 40% increase in sales over three weeks. With the release of "Pricele$$", Birdman, a man of considerable talents, answers his first calling -- making hit records -- which he has done time and again, selling 7 million mobile products and with the platinum "Pop Bottles" ringtone. "It's not about showing who has the most swagger," Birdman says. "That all comes with the package. I'm just being me. But the focus is always great music. I want to stretch myself. The overall theme I'm trying to get across with this album is life is priceless. You have to enjoy it. You have to live like it's your last day. Live how you feel."« less

"I brought this CD guessing it would be a banger but disappointed as usual. The only reason his CD sold was because of the guest appearance. Because if Baby was on this CD by himself this sh!% would be garbage. It's like come on guy we know what the hell you own how much money you make but do you have to say it in every song. It gets real annoying after awhile. He might as well stick to producing and leave the rapping to Lil Wayne. The bad part about it I'm from La and he's garbage straight up."
You just got the lyrics to every song on this CD !!! There's several really good tracks with great 5-star beats, and luckily I'm more of a "melody" listener than a "lyrics" type, but come on dude... Birdman says money every other word on the whole album. No joke! Stop talking about the stuff you have. Nobody cares. Obviously Birdman has some issues he's compensating for, or he's just the most materialistic rapper alive (which says a lot cuz).
A rich man doesn't have to tell you he's rich..."
Good soundin cd by a sub-par rapper

"The cd sounds good, quite a few songs have really food beats. I've never been one to listen to rap for the actual words. I have a lot of Jeezy purely because a lot of his songs have good beats. I think Rick Ross has consistently put out the best albums in the last 5 years or so. Birdman isn't a great rapper but there are other guys on the album that save it. If you like good sounding songs and don't pay much attention to the words, then pick this up, you'll probably like it."
