This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Nobody’s ever gonna accuse Bubba Sparxxx of having a real purty mouth. Then again, I doubt anybody’s gonna make him squeal like a pig anytime soon either.
On his second album Deliverance, the plus-sized New South rapper dishes up another home-cooked platter of white-trash hick-hop. Coming straight outta the trailer park, Sparxxx comes off redneck and proud of it, man, gruffly cracking wise and dropping rhymes about fishing, farming, drinking ’shine and buying a second pig. But don’t sell Bubba short — he may play with southern stereotypes, but he’s sophisticated enough to craft crisp rhymes, create catchy choruses and assemble funky backing tracks that skitter with twisted roots samples and bounce to the lurching, crunktastic grooves of the unmistakable producer Timbaland. Looks like the South is rising again.
