Tha Dogg Pount – Dogg Food

…the album as Eastcoast rappers hit back with songs from the likes of Capone-N-Noreaga’s ‘L.A, L.A’. A great track and a classic in all aspects as raps were tight by Young Gotti and Snoop’s hooks were bumpin heads. 05. Smooth w/Val Young, Snoop, Kevin “Slo Jammin” James & Ricky Harris (4.35) Another perfectly laced track by DJ Pooh who did some real classic work on this album and in his career in music production. This track is very G Funky and is… Continue reading

Roots Manuva – Run Come Save Me

…eps me listening to this. Addictive. 9. Trim Body A pretty dark hardcore sound here. But ***** knows what he was smoking when he was recording the lyrics. Can’t hardly understand a word. 10. Artical Probably too hardcore for my taste. Beat is a simple drumline and bassline with Manuva spitting bars over it. Decent rap. 11. Hol’ it up Another speaker breaker in terms of Bass. Average track. I just don’t like the guest appearances – the English acce… Continue reading

Sway – This is My Demo

…at quite interesting stuff though the hook is off putting. “Sick World” sounds too much like what he tried with Products but with funnier and clever outcome. Again the beat is lively, energetic and warm but the hook in the singing really off putting. Sway looks at how the world perceives England and how the world sees the rest of the world with racial stereotypes. The only obvious fillers are “Loose Woose” and “Back for you”. Loose woose sounds l… Continue reading

Top Dogg – Every Dogg Has His Day

…ts from his Deathrow album that never dropped) released via internet in mid-2006. 1.) Ghetto Fairytales: A very circus-esque beat is used for Top Dogg to start off the album. Mediocre lyrics and a very corny chorus, however, drag this track down. Featuring cartoon type sound effects, referencing of Porky Pig, this track is unbelievably wack. Skip it. 2.) Can’t ***** With Dogg: Featuring production catering more towards the Westcoast, Top Dogg, hal… Continue reading

Mobb Deep – Blood Money

…my to be in the head of the mainstream fans and it’s too pop to be for the underground. This equals the Mobb Deep to isolate both their audiences. As you could imagine, the other G-unit members are plastered all over the track listing. This is to pull in a bigger audience, a different audience. While this does bring in more it also isolates some of their hardcore older fans. The first song with a G-unit member is “Stole Money” where Lloyd Banks jo… Continue reading

Kanye West – Late Registration

…e that, Kanye’s name had been floating around as a producer for Jay-Z’s Roc-a-Fella Records, ever since The Dynasty: Roc La Familia and Jay-Z’s hit Heart of the City. After blindsiding the rap game by selling platinum the first time around, thanks mostly to Ye’s smash single Slow Jamz with Twista and Jamie Foxx and in part his religiously oriented club banger Jesus Walks, Ye returns for a second strike at the iron with Late Registration. LR starts… Continue reading

50 Cent – The Massacre

…is also a good song even tho the beat is probably the most used ever in hip-hop since the Wu-tang arrived. The lyrics are about how he always get blamed and how disloyalty comes up with the hood. In all this gets a 1.5/5 maybe a 2/5 at its best. I don’t recommend anyone to buy this record I would download it and sort out your favourite songs. Buy “Get rich or die trying” as that is more worth your hard earned cash. I would even recommend Lloyd ban… Continue reading

Method Man – Tical 0: the Prequel

…work well on this track Anyway it wouldn’t be a Hip-hop album if my snoop d-o-double g didnt appear. The beat is produced by Denaun Porter.It’s like a typical g-funk beat but doesnt as denaun porter is a east coast producer work one bit. G-funk fans might enjoy this more. Then Denaun Tries to soulfully sing the hook but only adds salt to the injury and makes this song even more animated. I Remember enjoying this 1st time around but 2nd time i hate… Continue reading

The Game – The Documentary

…is a catchy beat. Complex snare with a solid kick, over an upbeat Christmas-sounding slightly jazzy xylophone/sax chord. 50 comes on first; typically, his flow is on point, though his lyrics are lacking. He again sings the chorus, joined by Game–chorus being the best part of the song after the beat. Game’s lyrics are a bit better on this one, but AGAIN shouts out 3 or 4 people. (Good) 5) Higher (Produced by Dr Dre & Mark Baston) The second single…. Continue reading
