 |  | Juelz Santana - From Me to U |  |
Juelz Santana is the future of the Diplomats and he shows that he has a bright future ahead of him with his debut solo. Juelz touches on a variety of topics and styles in this record and he does it well. His different style and catchy phrases and sounds all work well together. This may be the best debut hip-hop album in the past few years.

April 21, 2006I just got the album for christmas because i have began to like Juelz ever since i heard him on the Diplomatic Immunity 2 LP and now hes one of my favourite artists.This is a very solid debut LP from a artist who is the future of Hip-Hop.While it isn't as good as What the Game's Been Missing it has its highs with very little lows.Santana's Down is a CLASSIC and is the stand out cut on the album but there are some other great songs on this album.There are an average amount of guests on this album but u get enough of Juelz to get a feel of what hes all about and that he is a great lyricist although his flow could use some work.Go get this album if u like the Diplomats or Juelz or even if u just like good rap.
December 28, 2005I'm a fan of real rap, and underground especially, so this isn't the kind of album I usually fu*k with, but I thought say a little something. Just like his bit*h, I mean, his boss, Juelz is an east-coast Mike Jones. Repetitive lyrics just make you tired, and the fact that most of the lyrics at the end of each hit on the beat don't rhyme just make you hate this garbage more. This is like a 50 Cent album, it's just something to break killz up on. The gangstas in the Southside of D.C. don't wear pink. The thugs here in VA don't sport pink when sh*t gets gritty, so why would you claim that you're a soldier when you look like my sister? You're a corporate, formula gangsta. Just being a nigga from the hood with the ability to rap doesn't automatically make you gangsta. Just cause you managed to not get murked doesn't prove how hard you are, so I don't wanna hear it Juelz. This album is just MTV junk so keep it out of your deck.

For starters I hate the Diplomats so it kinds of hurts me to say this is a good album. Most of the DipSet is no talent bums (other then Jim Jones & Juelz is ok). There are a few songs on here that should never have seen the light of day, but out of the 16 on here, 2 are almost classic material, 3 I skip, 4 are ok, and the rest are good. Guests are on a few songs, almost all of the ones after track #10 and none before that. Prodcution is good & bad (as expected since Heatmakerz did most of the album and I can't stand more then 4 or 5 of there beats and samples that they overuse on one album). They do 11 of the 16, Charlemagne does 2 and Chad Hamilton, Self, & Jazze Pha each do 1. A good album to have for DipSet fans.

This a example that lyrics don't sell, you take a image and a pretty boy with back up popularity artist (Cam'ron) and you got a weak album. Juelz Santana drops a decent verse once in a blue moon. Juelz delivery is by far the worst in history his flow is broken and he pauses between every bar for about 3 seconds. Boring imaged gangsta rap for school girls to buy and masterbait to his pictures cuz what's on his disc isn't worth a listen music.
