The title references mind-altering drugs. “I get high,” a soul sample says. Smokin Rollin is about puffing weed on a tour bus. “I smoke more than a hippie,” Juicy J boasts. If these lyrics are any indication, when the Memphis thug isn’t obsessing over money, he’s immersed in a world of drugs, primarily marijuana and alcohol.
That’s what you’ll need to fully appreciate this set, which works as urban strip club music and not much else. The beats bang in the literal if not aesthetic sense, but, at least when it comes to those of us whose brains aren’t warped by kush and Drank, Juicy J’s syncopated vocals and “ignant” lyrics leave much to be desired.
