| | Album Notes and Credits |
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. | | Released in conjunction with the straight-to-video film of the same name, Choices isn't a soundtrack but rather another in a long line of spun-off Three 6 Mafia albums. Like most post-'90s releases by the group, Choices features remarkable production from beginning to end by Juicy J and DJ Paul, and it also features a couple of standout tracks, in this case the opening few: "2-Way Freak," "Mafia," and "Baby Mama." From there the songwriting unwinds a bit as the tracks remain well produced but function more as features for the many guests (most of the Hypnotize Camp Posse, especially La' Chat, who is heavily featured) than they do as well-written tracks in league with the aforementioned standouts. Even so, Choices is one of the better Three 6 Mafia releases of the early 2000s -- certainly on a par with the preceding When the Smoke Clears, if not a notch above that album -- so fans should take note even if the album is a bit uneven and has very little at all to do with the film beyond a few skits and the title. ~ Jason Birchmeier | | 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. |
