J-Kwon Hood Hop Release Date: 2004 04 06 Label: Arista Rating:

An adequate-at-best MC and a backing track tricked out with bold thievery from a handful of established producers. Somehow this added up to "Tipsy," one of the most rousing club-oriented rap singles of early 2004. Clipse's "Grindin'" is the major point of reference; producers TrackBoyz use a rough approximation of that Neptunes beat -- bleacher stomps meet slamming trunks -- and fill it out with elements from a handful of other outside sources, including well-placed electro synth zaps. Energetic, addictive, and free of redeeming social value, it's a party track in the best sense. The remainder of J-Kwon's SoSo Def debut isn't nearly as consequential. The TrackBoyz (Nelly, YoungBloodZ) show some promise as a young production team, but the MC they're supporting is nothing to get worked up about. When he grows tired of hearing his normal voice, he switches over to a slightly strained variation, as if he's trying to make it crack. That's all he has going for now, but "Tipsy" definitely allowed him to leave his mark. Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
