Lil Scrappy - Addicted to Money
Artist: Lil Scrappy
Featuring: Ludacris
Producer: J.U.S.T.I.C.E League
Album: The Grustle
Label: G's Up/The Grustle Gang
When thinking of an addict, one generally imagines someone unable to stop drinking, taking drugs, or gambling. Lil’ Scrappy, however, is at the mercy of a very different vice: to put it simply, he’s Addicted to Money. On the first buzz single off his latest album, Scrappy takes the first step towards treating his disease: admitting he has a problem. Over a densely layered, synth-heavy beat from the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, the Atlanta emcee gives a detailed rundown of the luxurious lifestyle his compulsive grind has earned him. Label boss Ludacris guests on the track, sharing his own experiences with cash addiction. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether or not Scrappy will ultimately be able to kick the habit; at the end of the day, we can only hope that The Grustle wins a solid release date from Def Jam/DTP before the rapper goes into withdrawal.

I expected a song like this from Srappy, thats why hes one of those "forgettable rappers". The beat was ight expected more form J.U.S.T.I.C.E League since Maybach music and M.M. 2. Luda came hard like he always does but i'm so tired of these "money theme" songs. when will the madness end!

Other than the insanely cliche topic, this song wasn't that bad. The beat was nice and both artists flow on it nicely. It could get a couple spins from me in the near future. I really hope that Scrappy doesn't disappoint on his next album.

Everyone is addicted to money, so this song is both topically-relatable and a no-brainer to leak as a buzz record. The production sounds a bit recycled, but songs with Ludacris guest features usually win.
Looking forward to hearing what direction Scrap decides to take in this next chapter of his career. Welcome to the Booth, "HoamBoy." Nice to hear some insightful comments from a new member. |

Yea second that Welcome 2 da booth Hoamboy. I am wit him to the T on this track. Typical Money song, its just a tired topic in my opinion. We all want cash, give me all the money I can handle, but in the mean time, luda did give life to this track.

This must be like the first song with LUDA! on guest feature that I couldn't even listen to all the way through...
And he's signed to DTP ?! Ludacris and T-Pain seriously needs to think about their roster ... |

Not feeling the deep voice "I'mmadicted to money" Sounds wack, cheesy, it messed up the song for me. Scrappy's verse is good. Ludacris was the climax as usual.

The producers aren't the same but I'm surprised as this song is so similar to Dolla's Make A Toast...if u listen well the beat and the flow of the song are the same as Dolla's success! I kinda like this song but I'm tired, as yall wrote, to hear songs about money. Money is important, but it isn't everything and everyone of us knows it (I hope). Besides that I'd put this in rotation

Lil Crappy obviously hasn't improved his rap game from the last album (Which flopped) so I have no reason to listen. I'll give this a 2 just for Luda.

Rappers like Lil Scrappy make it hard for people to respect the South...even with Luda on the track and the J.U.S.T.I.C.E league on the beat, not impressed.
2 stars for Luda only and an extra .5 for the beat but rounding down cuz of Lil Scrappy. |

Im not getting the hate for this track, I thought the production was good (as usual from the JUSTICE League), Scrappy delivers some decent rhymes & his label boss rips his verse.
3.5 @Mr. Top Hat - What does T-Pain have to do with DTP? T-Pains label is Nappy Boy (who for some reason signed DTP reject Chingy recently). |
