Fans waiting four years since his last full-length can celebrate: the long lay-off, brushes with the law, and gangsta stardom have done nothing to soften Project Pat's Dirty South attack. CROOK BY DA BOOK: THE FED STORY ignores current electro rap trends by sticking to Hypnotize Minds trademark gritty production, and Project Pat remains one of the few rappers who can still convincingly rap about life in the projects even after boasting of a million-seller. The disc includes the infectious single "Good Googly Moogly," quite possibly the funniest phrase ever used to describe the female posterior. Project Pat's often delayed Crook by da Book: The Fed Story finally arrived at the end of 2006, a year when the man finally joined Three 6 Mafia, the Oscar-winning crew he's always been affiliated with since the beginning, without ever being an official member. Judging from this gutter-fabulous release and the Gangsta Grillz mixtape he unleashed with DJ Drama earlier in the year, he's taking the high-profile promotion in stride and with his feet firmly planted on the streets. Featuring the same sleazy swagger and the same uncompromising allegiance to the ghetto, Crook by da Book is like a properly financed version of his Ghetty Green LP with beefier beats and more polished production. Everything rumbles the trunk due to that fat Hypnotize Minds sound, and hot topics are booties, making paper, and occasionally survival, all delivered simply and sweetened with infectious hooks. Usual suspects Pimp C and Three 6 Mafia feel right at home on their highlight tracks, and the interesting choices of Beanie Sigel and crooner Lyfe Jennings work just as well and serve to broaden the album a bit. Just a bit really, since Pat remains Pat, and while he's lost none of his touch, he hasn't grown much, either, and the album lives or dies by the listener's tolerance for his tried-and-true, down-and-dirty formula. The single-minded Crook by da Book might not woo many newcomers toward his hard-thugging corner of the hip-hop world, but Hypnotize Minds fans worried a Oscar would make this family go soft can now exhale. ~ David Jeffries Musical Guests Beanie Sigel Mr. Bigg Young Jeezy Lyfe Jennings Three 6 Mafia   Compilation Appearances Enquiring Minds (Explicit Version) Crazyndalazdayz (Explicit Version) Three 6 Mafia Presents Hypnoti (Explicit Version) When The Smoke Clears (Explicit Version) The End (Explicit Version) Vol. 4-60 Minutes Of Funk (Explicit Version) Both Worlds *69 (Explicit Version) Purple World (Explicit Version) Down South Vol.3 (Explicit Version) Da Unbreakables (Explicit Version) Da Unbreakables: screwed & Chopped (Explicit Version) Grind Mode Most Known Unknown(Bonus Tracks)(Explicit Version) Most Known Unknown(Bonus Tracks) Ridin' High(Explicit Version) Ridin High Phoenix Place Your Bets(Explicit Version) Prophet's Greatest Hits(Explicit Version) One & Only(Explicit Version) Last 2 Walk(Explicit Version) One Only Gangsta Grillz The Album(Explicit Version) Gangsta Grillz The Album M-Town 2 H Town Last 2 Walk It's All In Da Game(Explicit Version) Second Season(Explicit Version) Total Club Hits 2 Throweder Than Throwed 2009(Explicit Version) Hustle Till I Die(Explicit Version)   Associated Artists and Works Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 12/05/2006 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 90910 Label : Columbia (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00827969091029   Professional Reviews Vibe (p.117) - "CROOK is tough-minded and punishing -- just what you'd expect from one of the South's finest vulgarians."
