Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel includes: Project Pat, La Chat, Three 6 Mafia, Crunchy Black, Juicy "J", Lord Infamous, DJ Paul, Hypnotize Posse Camp, Namond Lumpkin, Edgar Fletcher. | | Recorded at Hypnotize Minds Studio, Memphis, Tennessee. | | Personnel: Project Pat (vocals); Crunchy Black, DJ Paul , La' Chat, Juicy J, Lord Infamous, Three 6 Mafia (vocals). | | Recording information: Hypnotize Minds Studio, Memphis, TN. | | Photographer: Steve Roberts. | | A charter member of Memphis' Hypnotize Camp Posse (along with Gangsta Boo and Three 6 Mafia), Project Pat is a skilled demonstrator of mid-South baller hip-hop. The Hypnotize Camp tends to market its releases in the manner of Master P's No Limit label and the Cash Money Millionaires but with much less gloss. With menacing beats (courtesy of DJ Paul and Juicy J) consisting of heavy, repetitive drum kicks and sinister high-hat snares, Pat takes drug-hustling rap into the same deranged dimension as his Memphis cohorts, Three 6 Mafia. Southern pimp slang from rap's underbelly mixed with eerie low-end synth grooves is the way of the walk here on Mista Don't Play: Everythangs Workin. Strictly gangsta, Pat's unique flow combines a rapid Midwest cadence with a sing-song Southern format. With its sprawling number of tracks, it's best to hone in on a few of the standouts: "Life We Live," "If You Ain't From My Hood," "Break Da Law 2001," and "So High." ~ M.F.

This third release (second on a major label) is solid in places, but for anyone other than hardcore fans of the Memphis scene, Mista Don't Play: Everythangs Workin only stretches so far musically and lyrically. The often inaccessible vibe is probably how Pat and his North Memphis boys want it, for to truly understand the music would be to understand the complicated, seamy drug underworld that produces it. Southern pimp slang from rap's underbelly mixed with eerie low-end synth grooves is the way of the walk here. Strictly gangsta, Pat's unique flow combines a rapid Midwest cadence with a singsong Southern format.

DiBella | | As a member of the infamous Three 6 Mafia clique, Project Pat is bound to tear up the club with anything he releases. His third solo album, MISTA DON'T PLAY, is no different. While his previous solo joints received regional praise, the success that the Three 6 Mafia has recently experienced with the hit single "Sippin' on Syrup" is bound to grant him much larger exposure. | | The lead-off single "Chicken Heads" is Project Pat's new claim to fame. Pat is at his best revelling in the song's pimped out story. Not that the thug anthems "Break the Law" and "We Can Get Gangsta" are missing anything, because they offer the same crunk feel as most Three 6 records. With MISTA DON'T PLAY, Project Pat delivers yet another Southern classic. |

| | Artist Overview | | As an affiliate of Memphis gangsta group Three 6 Mafia, rapper Project Pat has been a soldier in the Dirty South underground since the mid 1990s. Pat's frequent guest appearances on Three 6 Mafia tracks and underground mixtapes helped bolster his solo career, and paved the way for the success of his Dirty South classic, "Chickenhead." Despite an aggressive gangsta style that seemingly guaranteed he would remain an underground figure, Pat is a consistent presence on the Billboard pop charts, and his album MISTA DON'T PLAY even went double platinum and peaked at number 4 on the pop Top 200. |

- 3 discs out of 5 - "...Pat hypnotizes with clean, staccato cymbals and thumping 808 bass over horror-movie pianos, strings and choirs..." NME (Magazine)
(4/7/01, p.42)
- 7 out of 10 - "...Employs spindly digital beats and bouce-funk grooves on which to relate in local vernacular his amusing tales of weed-based high-jinx, guns, women and crime....Pat is on the brink of global stardom..." |
