C-Murder – C-P-3.com

…ars. While his previous albums all have a variety of concepts and music, “C-P-3.com” was heralded as C’s first album entirely under his TRU Records imprint (which was founded in 1998). The album was released well after No Limit’s decline, and features new TRU Records artists – T-Bo, Wango, New-9, as well as C’s brothers Master P and Silkk The Shocker.   1.) Start: Any fan of C-Murder knows that all his albums usually feature an intro, produced by… Continue reading

Canibus – Rip the Jacker

…s’ problem up til now was his production, now that he has it, he dropped the album everyone waited on. The concepts of this album were finally delivered by both Canibus and his producer, which is what every Bis fan has been waiting for. If this album was the one that came out in 98 instead of “Can-I-Bus”, I feel he would be a star today. Now it’ll be slept on which is the ultimate irony of the album. Makes you wonder what will happen with Crooked… Continue reading

RiFF RaFF – Birth of an Icon – 5.6/10

…your head for days on end, never trying to overshadow his more skilled cohorts on a track. The route taken will probably depend on whether or not he manages to keep working with respected producers and emcees who are grounded firmly in rap’s vibrant underground scene or if some major label decides to seriously cash in on his pop potential and pairs him with a supporting cast that completely disconnects him his hop-hop roots. If that happens you’ll… Continue reading

Since then his group ‘Psycho+logical- records‘ signing many good rappers creating different vibes for each record.

Ubnawkshis – The Tour Of Johnny Taurus

…y shines here, great track. DOPE! 6. Dat B Me Deadbeatz produces a happy sounding beat, sounds really good and matches Obnoxus’ abrasive flow, man this is different but really good. I like the voice samples throughout the track. Peep this track, one of my favorites on this album. DOPE1 7. Turn The Page Very dark beat by Deadbeatz, has an eerie feel to it. Obnoxus of course rips it here, man these guys need a big record deal, they are much better t… Continue reading

The Game – The Documentary 2

…lot of artists and songs. Even Dr Dre has adopted it on the Straight Outta Compton soundtrack. Here, Game takes a shot at it and he almost sounds like Kendrick when he spit. As an old school cat I was skeptical at first but I have to say that the style itself grew on me. This track has a tight beat without alot of instruments added to it, but it works and I can definitely feel it. Step Up feat. Dej Loaf & Sha Sha The Game’s trying to go all Nas on… Continue reading

Juvenile – 400 Degreez

…) Cash Money beat mixed with the tweaks and clangs of Westcoast/Bay Area sounds you expect to hear in a E-40 track. The song is another highlight as Lil’ Wayne & Juve rip the mic up together with perfection. The production though in this track has to get the credit though Juve does holla the ‘Run For It’ anthem in a few songs on the album. 11. HA (Remix) w/Hot Boys (4.25) The second edition to the infamous ‘HA’ track is perfectly remixed with a Ma… Continue reading
