All right, all right, enough already! We know who you are. Still Tippin' is a great rap and is worth the price of the cd, but there isn't much else of any quality to go with it. This could have been released as a single instead.

I purchased this for my teenager who seems to like it. Never listened to it myself.

I used to live in San Antonio, Texas between 2000-2004. Somewhere around that time one of my friends put in some chopped & screwed mixtape by some guy named Mike Jones. I thought it was okay at best, although he did have somewhat of a flow. One thing I seemed to notice in his songs was the repititon of his name "Mike Jones. WHO? Mike Jones. WHO?", as well as repeating the same line 4 times so he can have his verse the full 16 bars. I thought, "Okay...maybe he is trying to do something different. I don't know..." Well then his debut dropped in 2005, and guess what? His flow has not changed one bit. He still shouts out his name throughout his tracks and repeats the same line four times in many of his songs. Now he had brought a new gimmick, saying his phone number in his songs as well (I guess I wasn't the only person who dialed that number). So really his flow really hasn't changed at all since I first heard him, which was somewhere in late 2003 (which is funny because he said at that time "Who Is Mike Jones" comming soon).

I won't lie though. I was hyped up to see Texas artists finally get their albums out (Slim Thug, Pall Wall, Chamillionare, and of course Mike Jones). I bought this the same week it came out for my support, only to be dissapointed. And to the day I'm typing my review, I've only played this a total of three times, and had very much trouble making it to the end of this album. A lot of these songs have absolutely no replay value. "Type Of N**** U Need" and "Cuttin' (remix)" are some of the worst tracks that I've heard from Mike Jones.

There are some tracks that I liked. Ironically the two singles were the best songs on his album. "Still Tippin'" with the help of Slim Thug and Pall Wall was probably the best song on the album. And a close second was "Back Then" which if you haven't already noticed, the chorus is from "Still Tippin". "Five Years From Now" is okay, so I'll call that my honorable mention track.

So "Who Is Mike Jones?" was a horrible CD, although I admit it was catchy (that might explain why it went platnum). I really can't recommend this to anyone, except those of Texas music as well as Chopped & Screwed music (the version I had came with a chopped & screwed CD). Even so, I know for a fact Texas is more capable of this. If you want anything from Texas, give Slim Thug, Chamillionare, Lil Flip, or even UGK a listen. I just cannot recommend this to anyone else. Hopefully while he is recording his next CD, he thought about changing his flow. Word.

Mike Jones isn't anything different. Still Tippin is talking about what every other rapper has already covered. Who cares if your "tippin" on 4 4s? All the other songs are just basic rap songs with no real meaning. Also, how many times does this guy need to say his name or give out his phone number?

The last song, Marmalade, is a beautiful piano instrumental loop you might hear out of an antique music box; nothing like the electro-clash on the rest of the CD. Marmalade quietly screams to be used in a Hollywood movie, & on it's own, makes this CD highly collectible.

This is a great album. I also stumbled upon them, and then feverishly searched for their album. It was a hard find, but I am so glad I bought it; great songs from beginning to end, that I can listen to over and over again. It was a bit pricey, but worth every penny. Everyone that I make listen to this, loves it!

I stumbled upon this band and decided to give them a try and I'm SO GLAD I DID.
I'm not a writer so I will probably not do the album justice but I encourage everyone to listen to them. PURE GENIOUS!! This is the first CD in a long time that I have listened from beginning to end without skipping and loved every minute.

I was a member of his church from the age of 5 until his death. Therefore, I have heard most of these songs LIVE! I am proud to say that his music will live on forever. It is sad that he was not inducted in the Gospel Hall of Fame until 4 years after his passing. Buy it...you'll love it.

Rev. Cleophus Robinson has always been a family favorite in our household. I only wish that my children could have the experience of seeing him in action. He is a true artist and preacher. He style spirit-filled and is sure to rock souls, both young and old. So America did not give him the fame he desired but God has given us a second. Check out his sons Shadrach and Cleophus Jr... the legend lives on.

Wrapped Up, Tied Up, Tangled Up is one of the greatest gospel albums of all times! Each song is soul stirring. This poor boy from Mississippi sings from his spirit and his voice is beautiful. I grew up listening to records (45s and 33s) of his that my mother owns and I feel blessed to have found this CD at Amazon.com

EVEN DOUGH RECONILED BY MANY LOVERS OF GOSPEL MUSIC, REV. ROBINSON STILL DO NOT GET THE CREDIT HE TRULY HAS EARNED AS ONE OF THE MOST EYE OPENING EXCITING GOSPEL SINGERS OF ALL TIMES. I HAVE PROBABLY CLOSE TO OVER 35 OR 4O DIFFERENT RECORDINGS OF THIS GREAT PREACHER AND SINGER AND ON NONE OF THE TRACKS AM I DISAPPOINTED. THE CD 'WRAPPED UP TIED UP AND TANGLE UP' HAS A TRUE FAVOR OF HOW WIDE THE RANGE THIS MAN OF GOD COULD GO IN HIS DELICATION TO THE FIELD OF GOSPEL. I DARE ANY LOVER OF GOSPEL OR THE CASUAL LISTENER TO PLAY ANY OF THIS PREACHER'S CD'S OR TAPES AND YOU TO WILL COME TO REALIZED THERE ARE PRETENDERS AND THERE ARE TRUE GOD GIVEN TALENT AND ABILITY, THE REVEREND CLEOPHUS ROBINSON WILL MAKE YOU A BELIEVER THAT TRULY THERE IS A GOD SOMEWHERE.
