Synopsis

Amazon.com
On the skit that opens his third album, Thugs Are Us, Liberty City's thug prince, Trick Daddy, converses with a youngster smoking on the street corner, who seems to have taken his music a little too seriously. "Don't be like me nigga, be yourself," he advises the corrupted minor. Cue "I'm a Thug," where an angelic chorus of streetwalkers sympathizes sweetly as the slurry MC drawls an affirmation of his ghetto identity. The remainder of the album features a predictable but engaging trunk of funk that soundtracks Trick Daddy's cartoonish pimp exploits. It runs from the James Brown-jacking "Take It to the House" to the 1980s New Wave swoosh of "Noodles" and the loved-up gangsta sounds of "N-Word." "Where You From" rotates with a robotic voice and a satisfactory thump, and features an appearance from Daddy's "little goil," Trina. And when she opens her mouth, out spill filthy rhymes galore. She returns on "For All My Ladies," a ghetto version of "Independent Woman" cut to a holler of "Get Money!!" But Trick blows the emancipation proclamation by preceding it with a version of Ice-T's "99 Problems," a list of all the tricky women in his little black book of rhymes. Times may change but Trick Daddy's doesn't. --Chris Campion

The Real Deal on this Album
stankman | KY | 03/29/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a huge trick daddy fan, and his last album Book of Thugs is in my opinion one of the top 10 down south rap albums of all time. This album should be called TRICk DADDY PRESENTS THE SNS EXPRESS. It is just like a compilation, but they use trick daddy's name solely on the cover to get the sales. Songs 4,8,10,11,13-16, and 18 do not even have Trick Daddy on them. That leaves 7 songs with Trick on em, and Americka was already on his last album and he only sings the hook on the pull over remix. So out of those five I would say Cant F Wit the South is good, and Take it to Da House and I am A Thug are great.You get 5 truly trick Daddy songs for your money so you decide. peace mane."
Trick Daddy or Slip N Slide Compilation album

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Thugs are Us only featured Trick Daddy on half of the tracks. That's fine, but why call it a Trick Daddy CD when its really a group effort? Anyways-aside from that the album is just okay. "Im a Thug", "Can't **** with the South", and "Pull Over (remix)" are all hot tracks..but the majority of the CD is just mediocre. Im not a Trick Daddy hater. In fact-I think www.thug.com is a brilliant album. This album just doesnt have the magic of previous Trick Daddy albums. But the album has already gone platinum so I guess im in the minority. Overall-If you like this album-thats cool, just make sure to pick up www.thug.com as well."
BASICALLY A SLIP AND SLIDE COMPILATION

"Trick daddy dollars brings the hotness on this joint. But by the end of the cd you cant help but realize Trick took a back seat to his crew....its all good though cause most of them are dope in their own way.. i was just a little disappointed with the lack of trick daddy vocals.. his last 3 albums have been consistent...the production on this joint is hot.....overall i think its about a 4 1/2....add a little more of the MIA's main man and youd have a five........overall dope...best cut-Im a thug and pull over remix.....cop all of tricks albums..."
