Don't Get Mad Get Money

Don't Get Mad Get Money is a second studio album by American rapper Fredro Starr released on May 20, 2003 on D3 Entertainment.

Donnie Kwak of Vibe gave the album two and a half stars out of five, saying "...After lukewarm responses to his solo debut, "Firestarr", and last year's forgettable Onyx reunion, "Bacdafucup Part II", Fredro Starr tries his hand at more radio friendly step-alongs on "Don't Get Mad Get Money".

Songs like "Finer Things", with its Ashanti-like chorus, and "California Girls", which mimics the Neptunes down to the falsetto crooning on the hook, expose the overtly pop direction.

You'll get to know the latter from his Just Blaze/Kanye West style work on "Pranksta," his melodic grit on "All Out" featuring Sticky Fingaz and X1, the smoothed out title track and the ominous "Reaper's Anthem."

Porky's work on "California Girls" shines, but he also handles the bouncy flute of "Finer Things" nicely and still blasts it out for the streets on "Timberlands," Fredro's free advertisement for his favorite kicks.
