The story-song "Snakes" is interesting as a Dirty South alternative to R. Fortunately, things pick up once the convincing club track "Like This Here" hits. Past the hit, Self-Made's first half is plagued by empty, everyday party numbers, the most shameless of them all being "Old Skool," where "Umma"'s mediocre line "My ol' school cost more than your new school" is blown up into a full song. That Rocko's style is an unoriginal mix of Young Jeezy, T.I., and Shawty Lo didn't matter much as the four-minute jam climbed the charts, but when he creates anything less than "Umma," it's detrimental. It sounds great at a party, a club, on the radio, or any other place where it's the chorus that matters. "Umma" is a hook-filled monster with just the right amount of cocky attitude bumping against a royal Drumma Boy production. After shopping around the demo of his solo single "Umma Do Me," he was snapped up by Def Jam in a swift - maybe a little shortsighted - manner.
