However, both "Body 2 Body" and "Beautiful" beg the question why high profile production teams such as J.U.S.T.I.C.E. Last time around we criticized that 'Ace Hood's two favorite subjects are himself and his wealth' and suggested he 'spend some more time in the lab writing rhymes before coming back with a third album.' In terms of subject matter the XXL 2009 Freshman definitely stepped his game up, covering a number of issues this time around. While southern rappers often exude nonchalance, Ace Hood is alert and articulate. Under these circumstances it doesn't come as a suprise that you bump into a "Hustle Hard" clone early on on "Blood Sweat + Tears," also produced by Lex Luger, also a single, also about succeeding against all odds - "Go N' Get It." Taken together or individually, these two songs showcase Ace's ability to put his stamp on a track, if not lyrically then at least in terms of diction and intonation. Unfortunately, after gobs of four-minute soundtracks to hustling and grinding, it's also a stereotypical song, even a line like "Baby need some shoes" having wound up a lyrical cliché by now. Even if it's hampered by off-topic content, there's a strong undertone of universality to it, visualized by a video that shows the Florida rapper delivering his sermon under rain, heat and snow. It is one of those rap songs that embody the genre's insatiable hunger that so often produces inspirational music and messages.
