  • They Say...

    Having moved major units of the like-minded Pitbull compilation Money Is Still a Major Issue, the TVT label turned to its bread-and-butter act and released U.S.A. Still United, a satisfying but not stunning collection of Ying Yang Twins outtakes, remixes, and collaborations. With mixtape-styled interludes from Mr. Collipark and barely any pauses between the tracks, U.S.A. Still United tries harder to flow like a purposeful compilation than Pitbull's did, but the Twins are coming off a much more ambitious album than the Latin rapper, so it's no big surprise the leftovers from the 23-track USA (United State of Atlanta) are hit or miss. "Wiggle Then Move" is a just fair club cut, "Duts" is an amusing but throwaway skit stretched into a song, but "4 Oz." is a surprisingly successful blend of Three 6 Mafia's gutter thugging and the Twins' slick partying. "The Pink" uses Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme for the base of the most fun track on the compilation, which then uses some decent collaborations and lukewarm remixes to round out the track list. The DVD ups the collections' desirability with over an hour and a half of material, making it necessary for the hardcore and worthy of consideration for fans of their last album.
