Sadly, Webbie’s misogynistic ways are the central element of the savage life. The highlight of this album is the single “Give Me That,” which sports one of the hottest dance beats since Lil Jon’s “Yeah!” I won’t front, the beats melodic “oh – oh – Oooooh” is straight fire and Bun-B is tight over the beat, but otherwise Webbie’s misogynistic dribble is neither new nor creative. The first major release finds a young and ignorant Webbie celebrating the “Savage Life.” This release is as generic as the grill Webbie sports on the cover, with the difference being that his fronts are gold while his CD will never be. But the reality of today’s rap game delegates Trill Entertainment to the latest of a string of southern labels to get courted by the majors, and in the process has made it nothing more than a cookie cutter label.
As Pimp C’s label, at least on paper, Trill Entertainment would have represented the next generation of U.G.K.’s raw underground sound.
In years past, Trill Entertainment’s first major label release would have caused much more excitement for this reviewer.
