For his sophomore LP, Cham bypassed the big league producers and opted for a dime-a-dozen Kane Beatz assortment instead. And you damn right Weezyanna is on this album too. I’m starting to think that all rap albums are required (by the labels) to have at least one Weezy joint these days.
Dissect the full tracklist below:
1. “The Morning News” (produced by Kane Beatz)
2. “Hip Hop Police” featuring Slick Rick (produced by JR Rotem)
3. “Standing Ovation” (produced by Kane Beatz)
4. “Won’t Let You Down” (produced by Kane Beatz)
5. “Industry Groupie” featuring KC (produced by JR Rotem)
6. “Pimp Mode” featuring Bun B (produced by Happy Perez)
7. “Rock Star” featuring Lil Wayne (produced by The Beat Bullies)
8. (Skit)
9. “The Bill Collecta” featuring Krayzie Bone (produced by Play N Skillz)
10. “The Ultimate Vacation” (produced by The Beat Bullies)
11. “Come Back to the Streets” (produced by The Runners)
12. “I Think I Love You” (produced by The Beat Bullies)
13. “The Evening News” (produced by Kane Beatz)
14. “Welcome to the South” featuring Pimp C (produced by Kane Beatz)
15. “You Must Be Crazy” featuring Famous, (produced by Dave M.G.)
16. Stuck in the Ghetto (Skit) featuring Tony Henry
17. “We Breakin Up” (produced by Chops)
18. “Rocky Road” featuring Devin the Dude (produced by Happy Perez)
19. “The Ultimate Victory” (produced by Happy Perez)
Bonus Tracks
1. “Somebody Gonna Get Hurt” (produced by Rick Rock)
2. “Keep it on the Hush” featuring Lloyd (produced by Matty P)
On a related note, Koopa may have found a way to drive consumers to the record store on 9/18. He plans to give away 600 commemorative plaques to fans who cop Ultimate Victory the old-fashioned way and mail in their receipts. 100 fans will receive special plaques when the album drops; 200 people will receive gold plaques (once the album is certified gold); 300 will receive platinum plaques (upon platinum certification). This approach is pure genius, as it motivates people to cop the CD and ties in to the Ultimate Victory theme at the same time. But what happens if things go awry and Ultimate Victory fails to even reach gold status?
Reminds me of Slim Thug’s overly optimistic debut Already Platinum which is still nowhere near the P-word yet.
