Though he shows considerable skill in laying down his rhymes, Trick Daddy makes no bones about his message. Throughout THUG HOLIDAY, he goes out of his way to make sure the depth of his gangsterhood and the extent of his Mack Daddy status are spelled out clearly. Such single-mindedness might conceivably get wearing after a while, but the musical landscape Trick Daddy's raps traverse is colorful enough to keep that from happening. Having a different producer on nearly every track gives THUG HOLIDAY a sound as varied as it is vital, with new sonic accoutrements grabbing your ear on each tune, from the click-and-pop percussion of "In Da Wind" to the visceral synth bass on "All I Need." |

- 3 stars out of 5 - "...HOLIDAY has plenty of predictable smoking, freaking and riding, but it's the album's improbable treats...that elevate the plate."Vibe (10/02, p.178)
- 3 1/2 out of 5 - "...THUG HOLIDAY impresses most when Trick Daddy takes a cue from 'Pac and wears his heart on his sleeve....If you thought Trick Daddy Dollars was just about thuggin', you don't know nann." |
