Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel includes: DJ Paul, Juicy J, Ludacris, Project Pat, La' Chat, Lord Infamous, Crunchy Black, T-Rock, N.L., Gansta Boo, Hypnotize Camp Posse, Tear Da Club Up Thugs. | | Recorded at Hypnotize Minds Studios, Memphis Tennessee. | | This offering from the premier Memphis hip-hop crew can be seen as something of a concept album. As the title indicates, it deals with the choices one makes in life, specifically those choices made by the young urbanites that are the group's main audience. "Baby Mama," which was previously heard on the soundtrack to the John Singleton film BABY BOY, is a perfect example, an unwed-parents scenario that delves into juvenile court, child support, sugar daddies, and parental irresponsibility. "Gangsta Niggaz" represents another lifestyle choice that's all to prevalent in ghetto life, as the Mafia examines the contradictions inherent in the violent, often short life of a street criminal. The forceful rapping style and hard-hitting beats that run throughout CHOICES help the group's messages reach their targets quite effectively. |
