Tela - World Ain't Enuff (CD)

All Music Guide

Four years after Tela collaborated with Eightball MJG and Suave House Records on his breakthrough single, "Sho Nuff," the playboy rapper from Memphis recorded his second album for RapaLot, The World Ain't Enuff. The album bears little resemblance to the Gfunk Tela had recorded for Suave House. He instead embraces a livelier, more contemporaryDirty South style that's driven by bassheavy dance beats rather than smokedout Chronicesque ones, and he boasts this new style on an uptempo remake of his signature hit, "Sho Nuff." It's immediately followed by a likewise cluborientated Jazze Pha remix of "Table Dance," another of his previous hits. These backtoback remakes come midalbum and showcase how far Tela had come during the late '90s stylistically. The glossy remakes also serve as a nice climax before Tela returns to his new songs, which include a few highlights, among them the albumclosing titletrack collaboration with the RapaLot don himself, Mr. Scarface. - Jason Birchmeier, All Music ...Guide Read more Less
