Instead, Ferrari Boyz is, thankfully, exactly the kind of album one would expect the Bricksquad to produce. However, in the face of the adversity and a shoddy promotion campaign, Ferrari Boyz- dare I say it- outperforms Watch the Throne with better execution and not trying to masquerade as an album with more substance than 1017 could dream of producing. Watch the Throne had a troubled backstory and two of the most popular MC’s in the game plus a host of guest spots sure to please mainstream crowds and hip-hop literati alike. This Ferrari Boyz may as well have been dead to anyone other than the most die-hard fans. These stars, Jay-Z and Kanye West, also happen to be media darlings (although in the case of West, maligned as well) and released their long-awaited album, Watch the Throne to coincide with the Bricksquad’s triumphant return. On the same Tuesday that the Bricksquad officially became reunited, two other rap superstars had to upstage them and spoil the party. The answer is simply that Ferrari Boyz couldn’t have been released at a worse time. Why didn’t it receive the attention that it should’ve? Fans of Southern rap should’ve been thrilled that this album was happening, yet there was next to no pre-release hype for these rap titans even despite Ferrari Boyz poised to be one of the biggest hip-hop releases of the year. This album is an assembling of some of the best talent in the Atlanta area, and they should be regarded as such. After all, it’s the first one where all of the members of Bricksquad Monopoly (and 1017) are on display it’s the first release from Gucci Mane since he left prison, and it marks the end of a feud between the two major members- Gucci and Waka Flocka Flame- that began after Gucci fired Waka’s manager. Review Summary: Gucci and Flocka make the album that you expected them to makeįerrari Boyz should have been considered a special album and had the hype train that would usually accompany such a release.
