Brace 4 Impak [PA] - Da Beatminerz

Advantages: A truely classic hip hop album
Disadvantages: none at all :-)

...Expansion Team - Dilated Peoples Out of all Dilated Peoples albums, this one is by far the best. For those who don't know Dilated Peoples, then listen up. This is true Hip-Hop, dope beats, and slick lyrics make this one a worthy purchase. I got mine for like £6, it's pretty old now released in 2001, and since there is 2 other albums out, the price has come down a lot. I bought it after hearing it from my friend, who really likes the group alot too!!!!! You won't find any talk of drugs (ok just weed!), prostitution, guns or killing in this but there is swearing. There is also other artists, it says on the sticker one the front: "DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Da Beatminerz, Joey Chavez, JuJu and more..." I know of DJ Premier, he is from Gang Starr. An excellent DJ and very well known. Also i heard Da Beatminerz, they are real good too... Read review

Advantages: A few really good tracks, some De La Soul tunes you have never heard before
Disadvantages: The album has no flow, a few weak remixes

...and fresh. The boys mix it up with the crowd. The rap is powerful and fun making me wish I was in the crowd and not listening in my car. Rip it! The Hustle (featuring Beatminerz) 3:53~ The Hustle was left on the editing room floor for the 1996 Stakes is High album*. It was released on the AIDS awareness compilation America is Dying Slowly in 1996*. Set at a shuffle pace this rap is more thug than most De La Soul tracks. They are rapping about the hustlers in the music industry. This track is gritty and infectious. The backing rhythms are laid out by the NYC production team Da Beatminerz. They do a great job. The groove is aggressive and in your ear. This track is worth ripping. Itz Soweezee (Hot) (De La Remix) 4:38~ This is a pumped up remix with the Jamaican rapper Yankee B of the track off the 1996 album Stakes is High. Back in the mid... Read review

Advantages: Some good tracks, and lots of lyricists featured
Disadvantages: Tiresome hooks and annoying skits

...When i heard the Redman track Da Goodness on a Trevor Nelson album i expected this to be another great album from Red. As it turns out that is probably one of the only decent tracks on this one. Maybe a more hardcore Redman fan will enjoy this more than i do, but it is certainly not his best. On first listen, it was good but the tunes, and chorus' become tiresome and repeatitive. The skits are pants, and annoying. Some of the lyrics are good, but the hooks, skits and beats let him down. It is not as good as some of his more famous recent work may suggest. His track with Eminem- Off Tha Wall, his album with Meth and the single of the album- Da Goodness, were all block rockin' beats. But this album fails him some what. Worth the money if you are a big fan otherwise, this may not be for you.... Read review
