Mick Boogie is that dude if you in the hip hop world didn't know. I have been a fan of his mix tapes since back when he put out Ice Cream (yeah check that out if you haven't heard it better find it.) So his mixes and blends have been a fan favorite in the Cleveland area and now all over the world. So when I heard he was doing a mix tape with Big Boi and Ricky Ross I was kind of intrigued. Then there came Mick Boogie Presents Big Boi and Rick Ross: SouthernPlayalisticMaybachMusic. Now for those who are not too familiar that is a play on OutKast's cd, SouthernPlayalisticCadillacMuzik. This mix of songs of both artists and the mixes are pretty smooth. I found myself singing along with some of the Outkast sampled songs completing verses. Soon as I am ready for 3000 (Andre 3000) to come on i hear a "Boss," line then some crack rap. I am okay with some crack line metaphors, but what I was not used to was the over abundance of these lines. To me there wasn't a complete mix of the songs. I would have liked to see some exclusive content or a mix of a track with some new Ross and Big Boi verses. As much as I hoped that it would be a good mix I was a little disappointed with what was presented.
The thing wasn't that it was a bad mix with Mick Boogie at the helm I personally believe that the concept was good, just the choice of artists was the reason that the cd didn't quite meld well together. Maybe if we swap out Rick Ross for the likes of a J. Cole, or a J Electronica, maybe even for a twist of sorts throw in a Joell (Ortiz) or Beanie Sigel. Just the use of an artist that is versatile would make this effort better. Overall I would say this is a cd with high potential but it just falls flat quickly.
