I wasn’t crazy about the rhymes or content on this one, but the soulfully weary instrumental was dope.įireweed – As I’ve mentioned several times through the years on this blog, marijuana dedication songs were almost a prerequisite for hip-hop albums in the nineties, and Sho keeps my theory alive with this one. Willie D drops in and spits a few bars that come off like he’s trying to gather sympathy from the listener for Sho’s situation. Trouble Man – Apparently, Sho’s drug dealing gig wasn’t going so well, which would explain why he spends the length of this one complaining, I mean, sharing the struggle for a young black man to make ends meet. Sho’s rhymes were mediocre, the hook was ass, but this instrumental is tough. Dre used for “Nuthin’ But A “G” Thang”, but they put a different twist on it, turning it into a dark soulful groove for Sho to share a day in the life of a street hustler (for some reason his line: “Went to my gal’s house, woke her up, I got a meal and the guts” makes me laugh every time I hear it). This was worthy of a partial chuckle, but if you let out a deep belly laugh, you deserve a smack, and your sense of humor should be called in for questioning.Īnother Day On The Cut – Willie and the boys chop up the same Leon Haywood loop that Dr.

Pookie – This short interlude features a verbal exchange between two crack heads (Cliff and Sonny) trying to cop from a drug dealer, ironically, named Pookie. Thankfully, the soothing instrumental makes this worth listening to. Sho sounds like he’s about to fall asleep or he just woke up and listening to his slow muddled flow started to make me drowsy. Then a simple funky guitar chord comes in accompanied by a soft melodic loop, and Sho discusses the hardship of having a dope head as a relative.
Sho and Willie’s message was semi-motivational, but the true star of this one is the soulful southern instrumental.įiend In The Family – This one starts with Willie D remixing the Cheers theme song into a drug dealer’s anthem. Willie D drops in, adding the final verse and sounds a million times better than his host. He also introduces the world to his slow monotone southern drawl. Pray I’ll Be A Failure – Trouble Man begins with a soulful backdrop that lands right where somber and optimistic cross paths, and Sho uses it to call out the haters that he claims are praying for his downfall and vows to become successful despite their opposition (How narcissistic must you be to think that someone would take the time out of their day to literally get on their knees and pray to God that you would fail in life?).

If you have, feel free to hit me in the comments and share your thoughts. This is my first time listening to Trouble Man (well, at least Sho’s version of it…shout out to the late great Marvin Gaye…and T.I.), and I’d be willing to bet you’ve never listened to it before, either. So even if Sho stinks, Willie D (who is also credited with producing the album along with The 2 Horsemen, whoever they are) will make the purchase worthwhile…right? I’m a fan of the Geto Boys and I’ve always been entertained by Willie D’s southern twang, random outbursts and colorful lyricism. The album cover for Trouble Man caught my eye when I read the title “Sho Featuring Willie D” and noticed the pic of Willie D (of The Geto Boys) standing next to Sho. Like the subject of today’s post: the Houston based rapper Sho and his Trouble Man album. Then there are a few that I’ve never heard of the artist before, but their affiliation with an artist that I like, drew me in.
Some of my collection are from artist that I’ve heard of but have never listened to their music and something piqued my interest to cop (the reason usually being it was screaming “get me out of this dollar bin, please!”). Most of them I purchased because I was a fan of the artist, or not necessarily a fan but I liked one or two of their songs and was curious on what the rest of their music sounded like.
Over the years I’ve bought albums for several different reasons.
