Cash Money's premier album (4.5/5).......2007-04-23

By the time B.G. released his sixth solo album, 1999's "Chopper City in the Ghetto," he was an 18-year-old veteran of the rap game. This is in my opinion, the finest album of his career, and along with fellow hot boy Juvenile's classic 400 Degreez, is Cash Money Records' finest album. These two albums are the ones that put Cash Money into the mainstream, and made their flossy extravagance famous. And while their later releases would become redundant and overblown, it's easy to see why these late-90s discs made them household names. They're really so appealing. Listeners looking for sheer lyricism obviously wouldn't look here. Like the other Cash Money Millionaires, B.G. raps about cars, cash, clothes, and women, which at this point might not have been quite as typical as it sounds because of the way it was presented. The diamond crusted lettering on the covers are quite indicative of just how extravagant it is. But also like his labelmates, B.G. is interesting because he has a great, unique flow and delivers some clever lines. But the true joy in "Chopper City in the Ghetto" comes in the production. Mannie Fresh is really a genius behind the boards, and his consistency as a producer for such an overworked musician is incredible. During this era of Cash Money releases, he created a lovable sound of New Orleans bounce music that would be often imitated but never duplicated. His dense, upbeat rhythms covered in rolling bass and clever instrumentals are simply catchy. These are the kind of beats that will remain with you in your head for a while; Mannie Fresh was the true star of the Cash Money Millionaires. "Chopper City in the Ghetto" is devoid of the filler that would later come to characterize some Cash Money albums, and at 16 tracks it's one of New Orleans' most satisfying hip hop albums to date.

Following a typically enticing intro by the Big Tymers, the album kicks off with "Trigga Play," a great start. Over a standard bouncy Mannie Fresh beat, B.G. uses a low monotone flow for some hard lyrics. On the label's anthem "Cash Money Is an Army," he represents his clique over some more nice production. The Hot Boys all come together for "Play'n It Raw," which uses a variation of the excellent beat from Juvenile's "400 Degreez" chorus. "With the B.G." features Big Tymers, and B.G. entertains. "Made Man" has a very unique beat to it, upbeat and funky, with B.G.'s typical bragadagio. The most notable song is obviously the anthemic "Bling Bling," featuring Big Tymers and Hot Boys. This song is the one that coined the term in the title, and the flossiness and ridiculous extravagance of the Cash Money Millionaires is perhaps never displayed better than in this song, which has a great beat and hook. The bass-heavy "Knock Out" with Turk and Juve is a highlight, with some nice horn instrumentation. "Real N...." and "Dog A.." are probably the two weaker tracks on the album, but even they're okay. My two favorites follow. "Cash Money Roll" has an awesome, soulful beat, with a great feel to it. The thumping "N.... in Trouble" is also ingeniously produced. "Thug'n" is B.G. business as usual, and "Hard Times" might be a lyrical highlight. The bouncy "Uptown My Home" is very nice, and "'Bout My Paper" will have a familiar feel to Cash Money fans.

Although this was one of Cash Money's most successful albums from their commercial heyday, things went sour between B.G. and Cash Money, and as a final disrespect, this album went out of print. While it's still available, I highly recommend a purchase, because this is probably the finest single album from the storied label. Whenever the weather gets nice, I constantly find myself going back to albums like this. You could hate all you want, but there's no fronting on these beats if you ask me. Highly recommended.

Uptown New Orleans.......2006-12-14

During the release of Chopper City In The Ghetto, B.G. was only eighteen years old with a six year career and his fifth solo album under his belt. "Trigga Play" leads the album off with the mellow style of gangster lyrics to be expected from B.G. Highlighted by the production of Mannie Fresh, "Cash Money Is An Army" must have been tailored specifically for him as he found each melody to accent his voice. Bringing his group, Hot Boys on "Play'n It Raw" without any hook or chorus, the four emcees / rappers flowed back to back as a link in a chain. "With Tha B.G." featuring Big Tymers is a more mainstream groove, but he kept it street and found his nitche to compliment the instrumental. Over a Spanish, exotic track the subject of "Made Man" featuring Big Tymers went well with their history to present day which would be "Bling Bling" featuring Big Tymers & Hot Boys. B.G. teamed up with Turk as they shared a verse and a half on "Knock Out" as Juvenile sang the hook. Taking it back to the essence of the streets, "Real N*gg*z" and "Thug'n" are on point with the LP's direction. "Dog *ss" featuring Juvenile is a memorable track as they speak about their sexual encounters with no remorse or shame. "...I ain't even gotta tell you..." said B.G. on "Cash Money Roll" as he spits about the signature ballin' of the entire label. The intro to "N*gg*z In Trouble" featuring Lil' Wayne & Juvenile began slow as the highlight is found with the three verses. He gives a little of himself and his obstacles on "Hard Times" that makes him the way he is. Representing different hoods of his hometown New Orleans on "Uptown My Home" takes the listener right on the block to see the graphic lyrics come to life in front of your eyes. Concluding the album with "'Bout My Paper" is the perfect closing for any Cash Money release. The production was completely held down by Mannie Fresh and there was no lack luster production on this project. Maybe a song or two from being a classic, but well worth the investment of a non'commercial release. Don't get it confused, the album cover is B. Gizzle not Master P.

dont hate.......2006-07-11

look i like everything from classic wu tang to kool keith but you gotta look at the music as just being fun. this is not a masterpiece lyrically by any means (though bg throws a few nast hooks) but the beats are slamming and bg is the man

Bout the feddi.......2006-01-11

This is THE most complete album by cash money. None of the stupid skits used by Lil Wayne. and Much better lyrics than that 37 year old Juvenile. To me, this cd is much better than 400 degreez. The beats are just much muhc better too.
I missed the whole Bling era craze. I just copped this cd 3 years ago.
B.G. is the voice of the south.

If Ya Gutta than cop it this 4 G's only........2005-06-01

Cash Money's best artist ever brings straight heat. What do u expect its B.G. If ya into gutta music i reccomend it. If ya not cop 50's new album and go to the CANDY SHOP or somethin. Ya feel me. Its Beezly folk!

I like some rap but this C.D. is the bomb!.......1999-11-10

I dont care too much for a lot of rap. But if you don't have this C.D. I recommend that you get it. Cash Money Records has put a "hurtin" on the No Limit Family.

It's cool.......1999-10-15

Bling Bling is so damn tight!! Buy I tell ya, B.G. can't rap as good as the other Hot Boys. Mannie Fresh has better beats than him. 'Bout my Paper and Cash Money is an Army is cool, but all his other singles are crap. Tha best one is Bling Bling. You should get it. It's worth it

it's veeeeery goood.......1999-10-14
