Mixerr Album Reviews #1,475

This is Michael Mixerr. I will review Buttabean - The Album.

The Album was released on CD and as a digital download in 2007 from Wreckin The Mic Recordz outta Waco, Texas. This album has a more mellow, chill, laid back vibe to it than an aggressive country rap sound he normally utilizes as on his other albums. He showcases his sexual side with use of sex rap in songs such as Shake It Girl, Dirty Slut, Talk To Me, Move Ur Body, I Ain’t A Ho, It Feels So Good, and STD. He gets into an intellectual mood with songs Sticks & Stones, STD, and Talk To Me.

Buttabean is Texas rap, white boy rap, and country rap at its finest. Buttabean is the Bubba Sparxxx of Waco rap. The sound will rock your speakers. Buttabean’s music has the lyrical genius of Eminem, with the melodic tone of Z-Ro, and prowess of Paul Wall. This album is Eminem and Paul Wall mixed together with some more gangsta type of flow, which is what’s used on this 2007 album. There’s something for everyone on this album of his. This album is and remains one of Buttabean’s most forgotten overlooked albums of all. It’s well worth to listen to.

Buttabean’s The Album is an older album of his which didn’t sell as well as Psycho Therapy, Underground Champ, Role Model, or Texas Slang did. Which is why Buttabean believes this is his best album of 2007 and it meant a great deal to him to have recorded The Album.


Remember Them Days reminds me of Gonna Be Alright by San Antonio rap group P.K.O. That’s what the ballad sounds like in that song except this version is an acoustic cover of The Floaters - Float On which is what Remember Them Days samples. Buttabean delves into the past from childhood on this song of his. Remember Them Days was written in 2006.

STD is a cautionary tale of why to avoid getting an STD. Buttabean uses his own experience of how he got an STD on the song STD. Having unprotected sex is what gave Buttabean an STD. Now for those who did not know or are currently aware of, an STD is a sexually transmitted disease. People get STD’s from having unprotected sex. STDs can cause death.

Sticks And Stones is an educational rap song about how sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you. “Sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you.” is the message Buttabean is trying to convey. Sticks And Stones has an intellectual mood. The song Sticks And Stones had the melodic tone of Z-Ro.

I'd Rather Feel Pain is about learning harder lessons in life. His music is an expression of lessons in life. I'd Rather Feel Pain is a sad dark song that teaches us a lesson in life. Sometimes you’d rather feel pain than guilt.

Dirty Slut can be noted for its usage of heavy bass and solo violin ensemble. It’s both the usage of heavy bass and solo violin ensemble that stand out the most. Shake It is a great song to dance to. It is perfect.

I rate this album, The Album, 5/5*****!!
