…tring and a warped bass. Em spits some real shit, but again his flow is off-and-on. Thyme does the hook; his voice is pretty annoying, kinda high-pitched. (Good) 8) Never 2 Far Em’s flow is a bit better. He spits about his plans to get money by any means necessary, and he has’nt stopped spittin sick yet. The beat is kinda simple, jus a bass loop over a drum track that’s a little faster and more consistent than the others (prolly why he flows over… Continue reading
…cent) 4) This Is Jim Jones ft. Cam’ron This track is cursed with a horrible-sounding sample crooning in the back. It grates on the nerves. Jim and Cam rhyme in nearly the same style, and since there’s no wordplay or any lines that jump out at you, it’s hard to focus on their words. (Poor) 5) Let’s Ride ft. JR Writer Feelin this beat, dangerous-sounding light piano backed by a pretty heavy drum track. An organ or something comes in and backs it up… Continue reading
…ion: Craig B a brash beat with Mystikal yelling like a freak in the background. He comes out first yelling like only Mystikal does, fast paced and in your face. The chorus is just horrible, “it aint my fault, it aint my fault…” Boring song. 4. Ghetto Rain ft. Master P – Production: Craig B. A track over a slower beat, deep and thoughtful. Perfect to the track where P and Silkk talk about their life in the struggle, losing their brother and other h… Continue reading
…great. Definitely a song you should know. If you don’t have the album, I recommend you download this song (or buy the album). 10/10 Plastic Surgery – A song by the Golden State Project: Xzibit, Ras Kass And Saafir. It reminds me of “Just Maintain” a bit, but this is definitely better. The beat is basically the simplest thing you can think of, drums and baseline, but it sounds just perfect for this song. The song talks about how people still sound… Continue reading
…e. The track is tight, but it doesn’t fit with the rest of the album. It sounds like a leftover track from “Tp2.com”. 8. Shake ya body feat Lil Kim Another track with R.Kelly doing the main part. Kim and Jay suck on this one, and the beat is average at best. Overall it’s a wack song. 9. Somebody’s girl “Somebody’s girl” is some playa shit. The song is good but Jay-Z and R. Kelly don’t exactly impress me here. The beat’s tight tho and it’s carrying… Continue reading
…lgood track, “while you were influenced by the underground I was on the ground under the influence”. Jeah – Copywrite Mighty Mi laces Copy with a nice beat on some melancholic type shit. Copy sticks to the script and spits some more punchlines. The hook is once again on some shades of DJ Premier vibe. Gut you – Weathermen The beat is pretty pedestrian and doesn’t allow the featured weathermen to shine like they should. It’s still a dope track but… Continue reading
…od at all. Everyone comes tight but that beat drags it down. Average 12. Mr-Dr.com Another damn skit. This is getting on my nerves! 13. They Betta Know(Feat Lo-Cel) Starts off with some scratching, nice touch here as Mr. Doctor is trying to shake the cliche’d gangsta rap image. Mr. Doctor tries to semi rap fast and it works. I dig this track here, the beat is nice and semi-fast. Good 14. All The Deals, All The Work Another skit, people didn’t buy… Continue reading
…luenced track with electric guitars and live drums on it with a metallic sound mixed in. I can imagine it being hard to find a flow for this type of production, but Habitt succeeds on this track making it a solid cut. 15. What U Need Habitt’s once again showing an excellent skill in writing and doing hooks. Others have proven hooks to be real important for a mainstream appeal so it can only be a good thing. I’m really feeling the verses on What U… Continue reading
…9. Prophets Intuition You know, soulful beats never get old, they always sound dope. Artifakt raps about a bunch of complicated scriptures and the like, he also relates it to modern life. I’m digging the subject matter here and wish more rappers would go down this road. Great track. DOPE! 20. Break It Down Artifakt uses the “Brown Sugar” beat by Mos Def. Great choice. Really short track here, but it’s good for what it was. Artifakt was able to say… Continue reading
…great, he sounds like he’d fit in with the East Coast elite. Real sharp sounding rapper here, complete with really good lyrics and good wordplay. Great track. Good 3. Year Of The Wondah(Feat Artifakt) They use the El Presidente beat and I applaud them for that(I love that beat). Wondah & Artifakt trade verses and really work well together. Artifakt rips this track to pieces, but Wondah does his best to keep up. This is insane. DOPE! 4. Beginning… Continue reading
