Freeway And Jake One – The Stimulus Package Review

1. Stimulus Intro feat. Beanie Sigel -  Very soulful intro with some great horns.  The beat plays for half a minute and I have no complaints – great beat.  Even Free admits he was letting the beat breathe before he jumps on it.  Free still shouting out State Prop – loyal dude.  Beanie Sigel and [...]

Obie Trice – Special Reserve Review

Alright I have always been an Obie Trice fan – I liked his first album quite a bit and just thought he was overall a good MC.  One of my problems with him was the production he got when he was on Shady Records…Eminem is probably my least favorite producer himself, and as a whole [...]

Elzhi – The Leftovers Unmixedtape Review

Elzhi – The Leftovers Unmixedtape Review
If you haven’t heard of Elzhi you have probably heard of the group he is in Slum Village.  They have had a couple hits, or at least near hits.  They were probably best known for their production courtesy of the late great genius Jay Dilla.
Elzhi was a later addition to [...]

B.G. – Too Hood To Be Hollywood Review

I usually review albums that I really like.  I hear an album and think, damn I should really blog about this.
Can B.G. keep the trend alive?
1. Intro – This is a quick track – kind of a generic beat, with some guitar licks covered by a pretty plodding baseline.  Doesn’t really pump me up like [...]

Clipse – Till The Casket Drops Review

Clipse – Til The Casket Drops Review
They are back! Can the Clipse deliver another personal classic?
Let’s find out…
1. Freedom (produced by Sean C & LV) – What a start. Haunting electric guitar licks are matched with some great drums and what sounds like some violin strings. Also a nicely used vocal [...]

Brother Ali – Us Review

I have stated before that record reviews are not my favourite form of blog posts.  It has just been a weird month ofr music with lots of my anticipated releases leaking.  Jay and Cudi dropped some techno styled cutting edge hip-hop, Raekwon dropped a follow up to one of the best albums of all time [...]

Kid Cudi – Man On The Moon: The End of Day Review

Another track by track album review – I know how original?  I swear I won’t be making these type of posts too often, it has just been a weird couple weeks with some good rap music leaking quite regularly.
Speaking of which – Raekwon finally dropped his much talked about sequel to Only Built For Cuban [...]

Jay-Z: Blueprint 3 Review

Alright it isn’t often I do album reviews on here.  It also isn’t often (well too often) that Jay-Z drops a new album.  Well to be technical the album drops Sept. 11th, a homage to when his album Blueprint dropped – same day as the World Trade Center toppled.
Thankfully this is the internet, and we [...]
