View More By Plies Our ReviewFor someone who is constantly derided for his less-than-profound rhyme skills, Plies makes several bold choices that separate Da REAList from its competition. Among the usual host of street tales, Plies offers a thug’s perspective on two hot-button political issues. “2nd Chance” addresses harsh prison sentences for first offenders, while “Pants Hang Low” attacks Florida’s ban on sagging pants. Even sonically, the album takes risks. Just witness the slower-than-molasses “Me & My Goons,” or the skeletal throb of “All Black.” While Plies is famous for his loyalty to the street lifestyle, some of the best songs here reveal his devotion to family. On “Family Straight” he describes the difficulty his relatives have in rising above the hardship that surrounds them: “Why my family luck so bad? I sit and wonder / We ain't close like we should and it's taken us under / The only time we come together is to have a funeral / Sit around and talk about each other and spread rumors.” Plies will always put his loyalty to the streets first, but songs like this show there is more on his mind than guns and money.. Customer ReviewsDa REAList album out!!! (5 stars)Plies does it once again. He has 3 successful album in less than 16 months and on his way to gold with Da REAList. He makes real songs whether it is about life, sex, money which may not sound rite but he is telling you real stories and i respect that. There is no other person in the music buisness that works harder than Plies. He is already done with his fourth album also which should be called "REALer Than Usual". 1. Me & My Not the Realist (1 star) This is the worst album ever, i mean his first album was really good, his second album was ok, but i mean this is just BAD! And plus he thinks hes cool with thoose grillz and looking at the mirror. + He talks about things that dont make sense. For exaple pants hang low?!? Like ummm.... ok yea they do so? and by the way your not the REAList. Make an album called the FAKEST, that might not be a word but your not a rapper!! Plies did alright (3 stars) this album is alright. its not the best but its still good to listen to. my favs our put it on ya, street lights, and spend the night.
