After the pretty disapointing Kingdom Come album 1 or 2 people questioned whether Jay still had the hunger to make classic albums and whether now it was just about collecting a paycheck, But on this album he came hard and made one of his best albums, if not his best.
Brought out when the film American Gangster dropped, you can definetly see the similar aspects in the two, in this album Jay has done something he hasn't done before and made every song a story like chapters in the film. The album kicks off with the song Pray which features the voiceover of wife Beyonce, this song explains about him starting to build his empire through street hustling and hoping not to get caught by the police. Overall a great ... Read More: >>More Details |

Wow, there are some great albums around at the moment, this being one of them. Chris Brown returns with his follow up album 'Exclusive', and he's certainly come a long way in the two years since his first album release. With more mature lyrics, great hooks, and a mixture of upbeat tracks and slower chill-out tracks. 'Exclusive' is a great original R&B album, thats sure to do very well. However, even though there are some really good tracks on 'Exclusive', overall I still prefer Usher's music to Chris Brown's...However I agree that Usher now has some competition...
Its worth getting the deluxe version for the 4 bonus tracks, & the 2nd dvd which includes footage from his journey to South Africa, Behind The Scenes 'Wall To Wall', 'Wall ... Read More: >>More Details |

I've heard a lot about 'production' and how lyrics being negative doesn't matter but this LP proves how good the original ideas behind hip-hop still are and also that you don't need to rhyme negatively to be relevant. This is all about fitting each beat with each word, still not having to be too serious about yourself and just loving the sounds which we can create and doing it all for the enjoyment, the idea behind hip-hop for me.

Black Sunday made Cypress Hill's connection to rock & roll more explicit, with its heavy metal-like artwork and noisier, more dissonant samples (including, naturally, stoner icons Black Sabbath). It's a slightly darker affair than its groundbreaking predecessor, with the threats of violence more urgent and the pot obsession played to the hilt (after all, it was a crucial part of their widespread appeal). Apart from those subtle distinctions, the sound of Black Sunday is pretty much the same as Cypress Hill, refining the group's innovations into an accessible bid for crossover success. In fact, it's a little startling how often Black Sunday recycles musical ideas and even lyrical catch phrases from the endlessly inventive debut. And the rock-derived, ... Read More:

Nelly has been some difficulties with his B.T. handset recently and can't call his aunt, this is evident in this, his most recent carbuncle. Growing between his left and right toe, this flappy organ represents the bearded men of the Orkneys. The album was written by small pet lizards.

Producer and rapper RZA told a Danish interviewer that the album he's the most proud of is this one, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)", and it is hard to disagree with him.
What is there to say about such an essential hip hop album that hasn't been said? One classic track leads to another on this 1993 release, and today, in the year of 2008, the price is so low there are no excuses on not owning it. Even if you hate hip hop, this record may be the one to start out with, combining primarily simple and catchy beats with the funny, yet hardcore, lyrical masterpieces each member presents us with in each track. I can try to point of my favorite tracks, but it is kinda hard. "Bring da ruckus", "Shame on a nigga", "Da mystery of chessboxin'", "C.R.E.A.M.", "Protect ... Read More: >>More Details |

50's third album has received a lot of negative press. From the delays, to the dud singles, to losing the sales race to Kanye's "Graduation". In fact the writing was on the wall on this album long before, when G-Unit releases (Mobb Deep, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck) started flopping. Tony Yayo beating on young kids did not help the G-Unit cause either. One could even argue that the split with Game which resulted in Dr. Dre's semi-retirement; or even Eminem's Kim inspired semi-retirement (Note that both Dre & Eminem are missing from the executive producer credits) all conspired to doom the album before it came out. That is if you consider 600K in your 1st week a failure.
On to the album. 50 Cent really outdoes himself on this one. The album has a perfect balance ... Read More: >>More Details |

Forget Michael Jackson's later stuff (although Thriller was good), there is some cracking music on here. Discs 1 and 3 are better as Michael is more to the fore. The packaging is a bit flimsy and there is a list of credits behind each disc in the pack, although you need good eyesight to read it! But these are minor quibbles as this is a bargain for so many great tracks

As a 40 something white male, I'm not the demographic for this album, and my normal reaction to the likes of "Troubled Singer" Amy Winehouse, Kate Allen, Lily Nash etc is to flip the off button.
So I was surprised - and pleased - to find that this is a very good album on the whole. Its good points are 1. The Music - though it is full of the currently fashionable horns and 60s soul sound, it doesn't sound contrived or consciously "retro". On the contrary, it sounds very contemporary - the sort of thing that gives "pop" a good name. 2. Singer Imani Coppola has a great voice 3. When the songs work - which is at least 7 of the 11 tracks - they are catchy, full of humour and wry observation. On the negative side, there are a few let downs. ... Read More: >>More Details |
