Project Pat - Ghetty Green (CD)

All Music Guide

Then known almost exclusively for his affiliation with Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat introduced his large self to the world on Ghetty Green, the solo debut album he recorded with producers DJ Paul and Juicy J. Like most other Hypnotized Minds releases during the late '90s, Ghetty Green raised the bar for hardcore rap. While Three 6 Mafia had always come hard on its albums, Project Pat isn't a collective like the Mafia but rather one man -- a very large man with a large temper and large presence. Thus, his debut was a big one and, although Ghetty Green doesn't have a widely known song like "Chickenhead," it does offer several appearances by the Cash Money Millionaires, who were similarly making a name for themselves in the South at the time. If you want to hear the roots of Memphis hardcore rap, you need to hear this album. It's a landmark.
