Do or Die – Pimpin’ Ain’t Dead

…aturing Johnny P I love Johnny P’s silky smooth voice; combined with Do or Die and Twista you got the ultimate recipe for a tight track. The lyrics on the track are about the poor people livin that Ghetto life wishing for money. 6. Stateville Featuring Traxster and Dun D Do or Die switch up the tempo on this track with help from Traxster and Dun-D.The verse goes” murda murda that’s what I am be yelling” in other words a 100 procent gangster track….

C-Murder – C-P-3.com

…ruggedness of “Trapped In Crime” seems to have all dissapeared on this album, most evident by this track. Skip at all costs. 12.) Drive Thru 1 (Skit): Trying to be funny, this skit features C and his boys pulling up to a drive thru of “Slophouse Chicken”, wasting 2 minutes of this album’s run time. Skip it. 13.) That’s Me: While this song is possibly the first track C-Murder has spit 3 verses to, the beat is completely boring. C’s delivery is med… Continue reading

Mobb Deep – Amerikaz Nightmare

…hook? The hook god is good until the end of every hook, that monotonous “dump dump dump” throws the whole shit off. (Good) Got it Twisted You can’t tell me you ain’t heard this recently. The Mobb’s first club banger (I think ever), and it’s not a bad first try. The beat is more like the older style den the previous tracks, it’s pretty good. My only problem is the subpar verses. (Decent) When You Hear The AIGHT finally back towards typical M-O-B-B… Continue reading

Master P – 99 Ways To Die

…his brothers – C-Murder and Silkk The Shocker. Good way to open up the album. 2.) Commercial 1: Although the album’s first track was billed as an intro, this second track on the album, is just a commercial about P getting bit while getting head. Pointless skit, skip it. 3.) Dead Presidents: Before Jay-Z’s “Dead Presidents II” was heralded as an East Coast classic, Master P’s ode to currency recieves a West Coast treatment. While P’s rhymes aren’t… Continue reading

RiFF RaFF – Birth of an Icon – 5.6/10

…bculture, memorable for their outlandishness and overall weirdness. http://www.youtube.com/7ohbKidZLiA The problem is that once you disconnect the music from the visuals, a lot of entertainment value is lost in the process. That’s a feeling you can’t quite shake when listening to the Birth of an Icon mixtape, which serves as the perfect introduction to the Jody Highroller universe. At the same time the music does hold up better than you’d expect c… Continue reading

Necro – The Sexorcist

…his and leave. Another Flaw a lot of idiots will complain he is too vulgar. WTF you idiots??? To quote another member on www.worldwideconnected.com/board Acknee “What do you expect from Necro’s sex album?? Tiddywinks??” Recommendation: Buy this album! Necro really has experimented with his beats creating that sex sound and unlike most he still the pants wearer or the rap game…. Continue reading

RA the Rugged Man – Legends Never Die

…with Rawkus records, show stealing guest appearances and Die, Rugged Man, Die album made sure he was always a perennial contender. Legends Never Die pulls it all together for RA. It’s a purist’s classic that emphasizes the hip-hop’s fundamentals: rhymes, flow, beats and even some beatboxing. Legends is mostly good times and jokes, braggadocious and tough but it’s when RA gets personal and opens about his late father the record that the album and… Continue reading

Notorious B.I.G – Ready To Die

…e. A deep track that ends the album leaving you hanging. Biggie’s debut album will go down in history. The concept of the album about being in the everyday struggle to the point of not caring whether you live or die is delievered nicely. the Notorious BIG stepped into the game and set new standards lyrically while debuting his flow that can’t be matched. His ability to storytell is showcased nicely. I can’t think of many rappers that make you forg… Continue reading
