[edit] Reception

Yung Joc's debut was released to negative reviews. XXL claims that despite the corniness, Yung Joc has potential.[1]. Being overplayed on radio stations may have generated hate for Yung Joc's lack of originality. HipHopDX states that Yung Joc's efforts are barely worth listening to due to the fact of boring, unsophisticated rhymes and contradictory statements. Furthermore, it is said that he resembles Young Jeezy and T.I. if they were combined, therefore lacks originality.[2]
