"You might remember Juvenile for giving you great albums like Soulja Rags, 400 Degreez and Tha G Code. Juvenile has been down a slippery slope of wackness since Project English. Even though this album is not as bad as the previous two that came before it, its still a forgettable release. The album starts off good with Get Ya Hustle On where Juvi attempts to make a song of substance. Around The Way and Sets Go Up(feat Whacko)are pretty good too. Even though the hook is goofy as hell, I like Keep Talkin(feat Red Eyezz and Skip). I know You Know(feat Trey Songz) is a decent cut for the ladies that should have been the first single instead of Rodeo. Pop U features Ludacris and Fat Joe who along with Juvenile give a good performance. Holla Back might be effective in the club scene. The album has many songs that are weak though. Rodeo was a bad choice for a first single(that video is a cheap rendition of the movie Player's Club) and it was boring! Its not the only dull song on here though. Animal and Say It To Me Now(feat Kango)are bland tracks that will knock you out like shots of Hennessey. Addicted(featuring a hilariously bad performance by Brian Mcknight) is not even a song. Its just Juvenile talking; no not taking; WHINING about some girl stalking him. Even though Skip's verse was comical, Loose Booty(also featuring 8-Ball) is straight garbage. Who's Ya Daddy is plain stupid and so is What's Happening(D-list Sir Mix-a-lot rhymes over a A-list beat:Priceless). Bun B has a dope verse on Rock Like That but the track is still filler and Why Not feat Skip is Ha part 2. More Disposables: Way I Be Leanin(feat Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Skip and Whacko) and Break A Brick Down. Bottom Line: Juvenile's Reality Check is not his worst album(Hello, Project English anybody?)but its still a forgettable release that might not be reached for years to come like his first three albums on Cash Money. Standout Tracks: GET YOUR HUSTLE ON, AROUND THE WAY, SET'S GO UP, KEEP TALKIN, HOLLA BACK and POP U."

Good album from Juve!
