Note to the Young Gunz: before you declare yourselves the future of the Roc you might want to release a debut album that actually supports such a wildly boastful claim. Tough Luv is not that album. Sure, Tough Luv offers up adequate hip-hop. Songs like the R&B-inflected "Grown Man" and "$$$ Girlz," with its retro-'80s, Hall & Oates sample and start-and-stop tempo changes, will easily satisfy young rap fans and the legions of Roc-A-Fella devotees. And there is, of course, a nice little Jay-Z cameo on "Never Take Me Alive." (Despite the next wave's best intentions, the Roc will never be the same without Jigga.) The Gunz may have a decent delivery, but the beats and lyrics leave something to be desired. We already know what the past looks like. If you truly are the future you've got to give us something new. --Rebecca Levine

3 out of 5 stars Disappointment.......2005-06-12

I was disappointed with the young duo from Roc-A-Fella. These guys (especially Young Chris) have impressed my lyrically on almost everything else I've heard them on. Not only was this album not impressive, it was almost, dare I say, bad. I hate to say it cause I love these cats, but this is not a good album. Hopefully they redeem themselves on the next one.

5 out of 5 stars 4.5 star debut near classic album.......2005-04-09

Young Chris & Neef the late teens from State Property deliver a very solid 17 song debut album. Guests are on about half the songs and each artist has a solo (Young Chirs - my favorite of the 2 has a stronger solo and a few more verses on the album). It has 1 classic, 4 near classics, 4 ok songs, 1 I skip and the rest are good. Production is very god and mostly handled by Chad Hamilton (9 songs), Just Blaze did 2 songs, and Bink One, Scott Storch, Ruggedness, Boola, EZ elpee, and Darrel Branch all did 1 song. A must have rap album for all and for State Prop or Roc fans especially.

#1 - 9.5 (good beat)
#2 - 8.5 (f/ beanie sigel)
#3 - 9 (f/ Rell -- more relxing song for the ladies -- good beat though)
#4 - 7 (old school beat)
#5 - 8 (f/ Juelz Santana -- samples Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl")
#6 - 9.5 (f/ Jay-Z -- good beat)
#7 - 10 (CLASSIC!! --- great song that is very deep about the troubles the 2 went through together -- f/ denim --great beat as well)
#8 - 8.5
#9 - 9 (Chris solo)
#10 - 9.5 (a good song that actually features Cam'ron -- good beat)
#11 - 9.5 (f/ Sparks -- good beat)
#12 - 7.5 (Neef solo)
#13 - 7.5 (f/ Freeway)
#14 - 8 (deeper song)
#15 - 8 (f/ denim)
#16 - 7.5
#17 - 4.5 (horrible song -- f/ chingy -- I hated the original version so I have no clue why they remixed it and got sorry @S$ Chingy to do a verse????)

4.5 Stars

This debut album was impressive, I've always been a fan of the ROC and this album pretty much somes up what kind of new young talent they got signed. Young Chris is a great and Neef isn't on his level but he's good. Pick this album up and you'll see why their the "youngest in charge."

4 out of 5 stars good thing.......2004-05-25

A great first album for the two young rappers Chris and lil' Neefy produced by the rocafella records. w/ great feat. like juelz santana and chingy. the only thing wrong with it is that there ain't the track "can't stop won't stop" the original version...
