Here's what Mixtape Messiah Chamillionaire needs you to know: He's no longer just a tough-talkin' dude from Texas with a kisser full of diamonds and an armload of music awards. He's also--and this is pretty radical for a rapper--an anti-materialist. So goes the theme of Ultimate Victory, on which his limber voice and way with a lyric serve him well. If you don't see a pattern emerging by "Won't Let You Down" and "Industry Groupie," on which Cham swipes at the motives and ethics endemic to certain lifestyles (and also, in the case of the latter track, expresses real disappointment--how could a groupie do him that way?), the skit that precedes "The Bill Collecta" with Krayzie Bone will get you closer: "They comin' to get what you got/And you tryin' to say you aint got it," he complains about a debtor--it's a familiar scenario, and one he's sick of. "I Think I Love You" gets right to the point: "Money don't bring you nothin' but trouble," he gripes. Less gripey but still great are some collaborations--"Pimp Mode" with homeboy Bun B and "Welcome to the South" with Pimp C ooze Houston charm. The best track, though, is the last one--"The Ultimate Victory" gets at what it's like to be Chamillionaire, a guy with a lot more running through his thoughts than the average cash-obsessed rapping millionaire. --Tammy La Gorce>
