Review: 4 out of 5
Best Song: Rocky Road
Kanye and 50 Cent are not the only ones dropping albums this month. Releasing his third album as well, Chamillionaire returns with “Ultimate Victory”. After his hit single “Ridin'” took off, Chammilionaire’s whole style has been repackaged as a cross between 50 Cent’s bravado and catchy hooks and Public Enemy’s lyrical consciousness. The majority of East Coast heads think Cham is just another Southern rapper in the same vein as a “Lil’ Flip”. However, behind the catchy hooks, well timed rhyme patterns and distinctive Texas twang, Chamillionaire goes where not many rappers have ventured. He’s socially conscious of the black struggle as well as his own trials throughout his music without sounding like a dork. Not to mention his swag is on heavy here, all backed by his best production to date produces an above average album. His ex-partner in rhyme, Paul Wall, musically stands still while Cham continues to elevate his craft. Check out the track by track breakdown foos!
