![]() ![]() An energetic artist with little refinement, Plies puts his rough edges to good use on The Real Testament, an exciting, sometimes promising, debut. Production from Midnight Black, Jonathan "JR" Rotem, Drumma Boy, and others satisfies, and just enough guest artists help anchor the album, along with "Runnin' My Momma Crazy," which does the reverent, sentimental, "I'm hard but I love my mother" track very well. Both styles are executed successfully and the album knowingly favors the street tracks where Plies sounds most at home. "Shawty" and "Hypnotized" featuring Akon - paying Plies back for sitting out "Love You" - is the rapper at his most polished while "Kept It Too Real" and "1 Mo Time" is the man at his most dangerous. It might be a funny scene, movie quote, animation, meme or a mashup of multiple sources. ![]() Even if there are redundant tracks and some potential unreached, these are small sacrifices to make when one gets to hear someone combining fresh, talented, cocksure, and driven as well Plies does. You can take any video, trim the best part, combine with other videos, add soundtrack. ![]() Plies was known as a loud mouth plus loose cannon - a jail sentence on gun charges had him replaced by Snoop Dogg for the Akon collabo "I Wanna Love You" - long before most even got to hear him, and his debut is just about everything you want from thug who is as ambitious as he is vicious.
