1st Class [PA] - Large Professor

Advantages: British and brilliant
Disadvantages: Over all ended a bit too quickly

...Promoted by the single of the same name a sure fire anthem of 2001. English grown hiphopers Mark B and Blade have released a great album. Here are 13 great tracks consisting of solid beats and backing with 1st class rapping from this awesome duo and some great up-and-coming guests from top act missin linx and influential radio 1 Dj Tim westwood. The rapping is of top quality and interluded with superb scratching from the already famous primecuts from the scratch perverts. Stand out tracks include Hostile Takeover and Split Personalities. This album will leave you wanting more a superb way to kick of the eving or select for a chilled sesion at house parties. In one word Excellent.... Read review

Advantages: Dr. Dre's Beats with 50's lyrics = Multi-Platinum
Disadvantages: Might bring danger upon himself with those lyrics.

...50 Cent's undeniable flows mixed with Dr. Dre's 1st class beats are nothing short of mind-blowing. "In Da Club" and "If I Can't", are no doubt club smashes to this day. "Paintiently Wating" featuring Eminem, will have you hitting the streets ready to fight anyone who looks at you sideways. This track is also one of several directed at fellow New York City rapper Ja Rule, who 50 and the rest of his label-mates attempt to humiliate on countless occasions. If you want to get a little soft you can skip to "21 Questions" with Nate Dogg killin' it on the chorus. This album has it all, and will leave you crying for a sophmore release. Once your done playing this album until it melts (which you will), hit the store again and cop "Beg For Mercy" by 50's group G-Unit. Holla back soon 50....We're waiting for the new album!...

Advantages: good guitar solos, 15 tracks
Disadvantages: none

...This album could be classed as even better than Enema of the state, i know some people prefer the old, immature style of blink 182's albums such as buddha and cheshire cat but i prefer the sounds of enema and this album follows along those lines. In my opinion the first three tracks are the best (Anthem Part Two, Online songs and first date) and also an amazing intro to one of the best blink 182 albums ever. These songs have some excellent guitar solos which exceed those on enema of the state and the same catchy lyrics. Another excellent track is The Rock Show, which has been a sucessful single, and is my second favourite blink 182 song (the 1st one being Dammit incase your interested!) The two bonus tracks are also very good, particularly track 15 which is very amusing! In conclusion, BUY THIS ALBUM!... Read review
