Real Recognize Real - Project Pat

"Real Recognize Real" is the seventh album by Project pat, the Memphis-raised rapper who is brother to Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J. On this, just as with many earlier albums, the 2009 record finds him on more beats from the Juice Man and DJ Paul as Three 6 Mafia to drive him as he comes with more underground club tunes for the streets.

"Real Recognize Real" is the seventh album by Project pat, the Memphis-raised rapper who is brother to Three 6 Mafia's Juicy J.

1. "Intro"

2. "Keep It Hood"

To get things going you have the rapper getting right into the street material as he perform in a collaboration with one of the bigger underground Atlanta rapper, OJ Da Juiceman, who brings his signature adlibs to the thing as they take it right to the underground and go hard with their approach to speaking about what their life is like, and how even out of this setting, they won't change a bit.

3. "Slick Hater"

Although I couldn't tell you exactly what was meant by this, I assume that they mean that they are being hated by people who don't appreciate their swagger, and such. Three 6 do some heavy beats to accompany him and make him feel as though he has their backing, and from this great results come of it with some Buck backing and Pat performing to his best ability.

4. "Catch A Hot One"

For this one you have him explaining to people who wish they were hood exactly why they should keep out of this game, as he knows that you can only handle it if you really grew up in this environment. From here he uses the fact that gunfire is commonplace to act as a deterrent to these people and warn them off the darker side of this underworld. The production fits the setting, and from it he shows why he is suited to it.

5. "Bang Smack"

This one is clearly very differ to a lot of the other tracks on the album, and this is plain to anybody as you here some experimental things coming into effect as the hook to it completely switches the mood up and makes you take a step back and really thing what is going on. It's a weird feeling as they do something which many may not like, but I think it makes the track stand out a lot more.

6. "I Be Fresh"

Here at this middling stage on the album has you take an early breather as you hear the production change in favour of some funky backing as he flows, and it gives him a chance to do something a little more laid-back, and this seems to be reflected in the way he chooses to you lots of half-rhyme, rather than the more rigid whole ones.

**Four Stars**

7. "Dead In The Streets"

After listing the few commandments which he claims to defy, this one find him performing a track which seems to deal with similar issues to "Catch A Hot One" as before because this one sees him rap about how people who grew up in similar circumstances to his are essentially destined to die by this lifestyle, the time spent in prison has enlightened him, and made him re-think his plans on how to live it.

8. "Ain't Scared Of Ya"

Initially I wasn't really into this one, but I felt that as it went on it seemed to get better as you here him go back to the older days of his music, the times which you would associate more with the Triple 6 Mafia days as he goes more some lighter Horrocore work which seems to bring in enough of the modern times to be felt by a general Rap listener.

9. "Gold Teeth"

In this one you find them in a comparison to other southern cities where jewellery in your teeth is popular, but hear its always been about the gold (and the platinum phase was ignored by them) from this you have him go for a dark Gangsta Rap track which has him focus the rhymes around being a boss, as Rick Ross.

**Four Stars**

10. "Pogo Stick"

This is a big one on the album, and it really stands out as something different on it, in comparison to the rest as you find that he is doing a club one, but with completely different intensions for it as he speaks on how his girl is said to be on a "Pogo Stick" with him in the bedroom. It is an original one, and it utilises words from a Three 6 Mafia track from 2008 to compare what his preferences are to theirs.

**Four Stars**

11. "Talk That Gangsta"

Here you have him do a very simplistic track, and it could be said that this one is simply a filler on the thing as this is really a throwaway recording on the album, and one which you could have easily predicted to have found on it. Although it is this way, I found that the way Three 6 Mafia choose not to drop the standard of the best means that you are still impressed as they do more hook-heavy Memphis rap.

**Four Stars**

12. "Dats The Way You Do It"

I would say that this one appears to make some slight changes to what else is found on the album as it seems to have a much lighter sound to it in comparison to a lot of the rest. Of course he is sure to bring in all the things which define his character, but he tries something very different and makes sure that you are eased into this slight adaption.

**Four Stars**

13. "Choppa To Ya Dome"

On this one you have him going for some straight-forward Gangsta Rap where he just doesn't play around, he just gets right into it and rages against all opposition which he faces. Towards the end he goes a little off-topic as he sends some words out to the girls, but on the whole he keeps it hood as before and makes it work well. You get exactly what is expected of him, and he makes sure that you are impressed with the stuff which he comes out with.

**Four Stars**

14. "My Money"

If any track was to be released as a single, this would be the top candidate for it as you find them in a collaboration with Three 6 Mafia, and straight killing it as they all spit the full truth on how you can have fun and games in your life, but money should be associated with this at all, especially when his is involved with it. It really sticks out on the album, and improves with time as you here how the trio work so well together.

15. "Horny"

As we get towards the end of the thing you have him letting loose and just allowing himself to do a lot more which sees him open up to things which he wouldn't have wanted to open up with earlier on in the album. Here you find him doing one which has him do lost of little comparisons to unexpected things in order to create a seductive atmosphere, and it keeps it in the same sort of feel that you heard throughout the album (so it doesn't sound at all unlike him).

**Four Stars**

16. "Staying High"

At first I didn't think much to this one as it sounded generally weaker than the rest if you don't really take anything in, however I felt that you have to listen right into the lyrics to pull out the quality and originality of the rapper as you have him compare how he stays high to the consistent high cost of petrol. This topical reference brings in the listeners, and makes you take notice.

**Four Stars**

17. "Outro"

I would have to call this one a very consistent album from Project Pat, and it is certainly an improvement on the album before it as you find that he has chosen to stay with the hard Gangsta Rap and the club tune to show that he is right in with the Memphis sound, and in-tune with the streets. If you are into your Three 6 Mafia, then you are bound to enjoy thi as Pat goes hard and really shows how strong he is at this kind of Southern Rap.
