My Review Of Mac Money - Tales of a G
Mac Money's debut album has heat all the way through. I suggest you pick yourself up a copy, it's more of a hip-hop type of album, but it still has some rap style to it. I liked it a lot and can't wait to hear more from Mac Money. A must swoop!

1) "Intro" ft. Yukmouth

Just some talking by Yukmouth. He talks about Mac Money and then the next track comes in.

2) "Keepin it Real"

A coo beat produced by Big Squeeze. Mac Money puts it down on this track. He flows about all the other MCs who talk about what they don't do. He just says that he's keeping it real and that's how he does it. A tight ass track to start this album off with.

3) "Blocc Monstaz" ft. MC

Another nicely produced track by Big Squeeze. Mac Money starts it off with a clean verse. More flows about keeping it real and just being who you are. I'm feeling the flows on this track and the production fits in perfectly. A clean hip-hop track that keeps it real. I'm feeling it.

4) "Pimpin" (skit)

Just dippin is playing in the background on this track. It's like the Budweiser commercials, except they say pimpin instead of whassup. Funny little skit.

5) "Just Dippin"

This is the single from the album. The beat by Big Squeeze is clean and the beats get your head moving. Mac Money just rips up the mic on this track. I don't really like the background vocals on the hook, but that can be overlooked because this is a clean track. I'm feelig it.

6) "What's Yo Realy?"

A slower paced track. The beat by Big Squeeze is good and I like the instruments in the background. Mac Money flows about different eras of time and how they compare to nowadays. A good little idea for a track that works well. A good track overall.

7) "Havin Thangz" ft. Mr. D.O.G.

Mr. D.O.G. is on this track with his unique style of flow. FunkDaddy did the production for this track. It has a slower pace to it, but it works. Mac Money flows about only having enough time to have things. I like Mac Money more, but both work well on this track.

8) "Hill St. Blues"

Dubb Flexx produced this track. A little different style here, but it fits Mac Money's style well enough. He flows about where he's from and what it's all about. A tight ass track overall, I'm feeling it.

9) "Way Other" ft. Shaolin

Back to another Big Squeeze produced track. A good beat fits both Mac Money and Shaolin. A couple of hip-hop up and comers puttin it down on this track. The beat gets your head moving and Mac and Shaolin rip up the mic. One of my favorite tracks on the album, I'm feelig it.

10) "Tales of a G"

The title track has a tight beat to it. Big Squeeze again lays down another knoccer. Mac Money has some hard styled flows on this track. His flows on this track are perfect. Another one of my favorite tracks, can't really say enough about it, just bump it!

11) "I Puts it Down"

Another track produced by FunkDaddy. Mac Money does put it down on this track. The beat gets your head going and Mac Money just rips up the mic. Some hard styled flows on this track. A sweet mix of hip-hop and rap, I'm feeling it.

12) "The Meeting" ft. Mr. D.O.G.

A hard beat by Big Squeeze on this track. Mr. D.O.G. starts it off with a coo verse. His voice is a little hard to get used to though, but his lyrics are clean. Mac Money has more hard styled lyrics on this track. Mac Money just flows on this track. Tight shit right here.

13) "We run the Streets" ft. Mac & AK

Mac Pacino produced this track. A clean beat and production. Everything fits together perfectly on this track. Everyone has a good verse and the hook is clean. I didn't like this track the first time I heard, but the more I listen to it the more I'm feeling it. A tight track overall.

14) "United We Stand"

A political point to this track. He flows about a lot of world news in his flow. The beat isn't all that great to me, but I like his lyrics a lot. A good mix of political points and street raps. Beat could have been better, but it can be overlooked.

15) "Slow Down"

His voice sounds weird on this track. It almost sounds like an old track that was put on the album. The beat is decent, but nothing special. Mac Money has some good lyrics all the way through. Not a great track, but it's a good one to give a quick bump.

16) "Air & Opportunity (remix)" ft. Mr. D.O.G.

Mr. D.O.G. starts this track off with a clean verse. The beat is hard and I'm feeling the production by Big Squeeze. I never heard the original track, but this one is clean. Mac Money has more of the good lyrics that has made this album a good lyrical album. A good track to finish off this clean album.


Overall this album is a very impressive debut from Mac Money. The tracks just keep on growing on me as I listen to it more and more. He is definately Bow Wow Rec. best artist. The production is clean and there are a couple tracks that knocc hard. Mac Money shows he is good lyricist and has a good style to flow with. The best album released by Bow Wow so far. Pick this up all you hip-hop/rap fans, you won't be dissapointed.

Overall rating= 5/5
