This album is most definitely about the music and not the lyrics. Juicy J is a competent rapper with lots of charisma but not much else. Though most rappers tend to mine the same few topics over and over again -- for Juicy J, those are getting high and beating dudes up, but mostly getting high -- Juicy J fails to explore his topics in an interesting or at least technically proficient way. It's mostly shallow tough-talk in a grade-school flow.

Rap Reviews
"Hustle Till I Die" is recommended for those who enjoy music. Those who enjoy the entire process. Those who go past downloading the latest leak, giving it one listen on their computer speakers or headphones and then rushing to the next mp3 file in their queue. This CD is for anyone who has ever bumped a CD at full blast on a hot summer day with the windows down after having driven out of your way just to buy said CD. If you don't know that feeling, it's never too late to start.

AllMusic
Arriving just over a month after DJ Paul's Scale-A-Ton, Juicy J's Hustle Till I Die continued the campaign to make 2009 the year of the Three 6 Mafia solo album. In other words, its 2002 all over again, which also happens to be the year J's previous and less satisfying solo effort, Chronicles of the Juice Man, arrived. With the pimp anthem "30 Inches" ("I'm so hood/30 inches on the Chevrolet") included, Hustle is instantly the superior effort. Add the sleazy, pelvic-thrustin' "Ugh Ugh Ugh" plus the drug-hungry Gorilla Zoe feature "Purple Kush" and it's recommendable to even the casual fan.
