“Bo’Fum” – Review Of Bubba Sparxxx & Greg Street Present The New South
ALBUM REVIEWS By Landon A. on June 4, 2009 at 4:17 pm
With the help of his Uncle Timbo and the good folks at Organized Noize, Bubba Sparxxx rose to prominence as a flagship artist of the post Dungeon Family south. Both Dark Days and Bright Nights and Deliverance presented a new brand of southern artist amidst the snappin’ and trappin’ that was spreading from Athens, Georgia to ATL. Now, nearly 3 years after his last run at the crown, Bubba K and DJ Greg Street team up to present some brand new material and a cupboard full of new southern artists.
If you’re under the assumption that this mixalbum is going to be a blend of the southern states greatest lyricists and beatmakers, well you’ve thought wrong. With the exception of one or two tracks that show serious thought, The New South is a mixtape full of swagger braggers, Auto-Tuners and Lil’ Wayne d!ck riders (See Fred P’s “Buzy Countin’”). The finsher “Reach Tha Skyy” by KD shows traces of witty lyricism a decent beat and a catchy R&B hook, while tracks like the tired “Look At My Charm” and “Bo’Fum” by Hustle Boy featuring Jim Jones are epically executed examples of Hip-Hop ignorance.
But, the real cream of the dust crop is the 5 new Bubba singles sandwiched between the monotony. It seems as if he’s left all trace of lyricism and wit in the mud pits and climbed out a studio polished robot. “Thinkin’ ‘Bout You” is obviously another attempt at “Ms. New Booty” recognition while “Must Don’t Know Me” is equally as corny. And “She Got Me Like” which features Ray J is yet another hole in Bubba K’s sinking ship.
If this exhausting compilation is all the “new” south has to offer than we’re not looking toward a very promising future. All that’s left are dead fields of clunky club singles and half assed rappers being aimlessly watered down by a once respected southern rapper and a formerly well-known southern mixtape DJ.

Sad really. This dude “had” talent at one point in his career.
didnt this guy get caught up trying to buy some pills of an undercover that dont even really get you high or some shit?
deliverance is a highly listenable album
His back catalogue is pure illiad, some slammin jammin’s, plus he taught me the meaning of Betty.
Deliverance is a class album and a class movie too, John Boorman at his finest.
Whooty:

^^^ notice the pimples on the ass…classy.
yeah he got caught buying weed (or something) @ Hooters.
He’s tried the right way & the easy way to succeed: neither way fully worked for him. So I really can’t blame him for whatever does. If people are willing to put his shit out… go for it Bubba K.
I thought he would have been set for life, with his hit records and wot not.
However, I guess it wasn’t enough.
I rate him as an artist though, quite creative, Timbaland, had a hand in his success of course, and I thought they made a pretty decent team.
i mean, my sources tell me this this was the product of rushing and non-communication of all parties involved. guess it came out in the how it sounds.
yall gonna talk about Lil Wayne’s Kobe song?
