A mixed effort

Advantages: Good beats, good flow at times
Disadvantages: weak lyrical content

The much anticipated follow up to 50 Cent's impressive "Get rich or die tryin'" falls flat. In the two years between the albums we were under the impression that 50 Cent is a heavy gangsta rap hitter. However he goes back on his word in this disappointing album. He promised the bubblegum rap would stop, yet we are treated to songs such as candy shop, just a lil bit, build you up and so amazing featuring g units first lady, olivia. 1 "Intro" 2 "In ...
...Die Tonight" 5 "Piggy Bank" 6 "Gatman and Robbin" Eminem 7 "Candy Shop" 8 "Outta Control (Remix)" 9 "Get In My Car" 10 "Ski Mask Way" 11 "A Baltimore Love Thing" 12 "Ryder Music" 13 "Disco Inferno" 14 "Just a Lil Bit" 15 "Gunz Come Out" 16 "My Toy Soldier" 17 "Position of Power" 18 "Build You Up" 19 "God Gave Me Style" 20 "So Amazing" 21 "I Don't Need 'Em" The album begins with 3 street bangers, 'My Hood', 'This is 50' and the impressive ...

Review of Massacre, The (Special Edition/+DVD) [PA] - 50 Cent

2pac Don Killuminati 7 Day Theory Makaveli

Advantages: One of the best 2pac albums created, it also makes you think about his death
Disadvantages: I do not believe that there is much wrong with this album just brilliant

This is one of the best but one of the last albums 2pac ever created. The lyrics created are touching and appeal to all of his friends, enemys and to the rest of the world. This album does not just explain about 2pacs enemys but it also helps explain the theories behind his tradgic death. Does the album mean he is alive or being reincarnated into one of 2pacs heros. The name makaveli comes from 2pacs hero who wrote many poems and stories about faking ...

Review of Don Killuminati, The (The Seven Day Theory) [PA] - Makaveli

An Essential Introduction to Rap's Greatest Icon

Advantages: Awesome lyrics and beats, shows his completeness as an artist, all the radio hits
Disadvantages: Not enough early 2Pac tracks

...for different reasons with this Greatest Hits album being the obvious one to go for. 2Pac created so many great songs during his short career that the Hits could have easily been a 3 or 4 disc effort let alone a standard double CD. This album is great for all hip hop fans. If anyone wants to get into 2Pac's music now, then the greatest hits is a good starter, but you only get a brief scent of how complex and genius he was as an artist and person ...
...who he was through the Greatest Hits. The Greatest Hits contains near enough all the singles released from 2Pac's albums when he was alive. I'm generally not a fan of having previously unreleased tracks included on greatest hits albums but "Unconditional Love" and "God Bless The Dead" are quality inclusions. "Unconditional Love" is rumoured to be the last ever track he recorder before his death and the lyrics are very touching. It's pointless going ...

Review of Greatest Hits [PA] - 2Pac

Constantly Cookin' Classics

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker tracks

“Custom Cars & Cycles” was released in 2009 and came as the debut album from the Triple C's (Carol City Cartel). Lead by Miami's Rick Ross, the Dirty South Rap group, who also include members: Gunplay, Young Breed and Torch (the latter of whom is from the Bronx. Although active for many years, it wasn't until Rick Ross' third album when the group were ready to hold up as a unit that could rely on the support that Ross had gained through his consistent ...
...Floridian drug-based Gangsta Rap material. 1.“Custom Cars & Clips” (Intro) 2.“White Sand” Off a pretty heavy opener, we see that here they kick things into high gear and come up with a heavy jam and one that features the type of lively production (linked into a catchy hook) that gives you the feel of the Dirty South in its peaking 2005-2006 years and so it shows that this crew are attempting to bring those days back as they start from here and get ...

Review of Customs Cars & Cycles - Triple C's

LOVE THIS

Advantages: Great vocals, reworkings
Disadvantages: None

...**Love** Love features thirteen tracks which include covers of tracks by such artists as Journey, Take That, Lonestar, The Beatles, Sam Cooke, The Goo Goo Dolls and Cyndi Lauper to name but a few. The group again worked with Producer Randy Jackson after the huge success with their first collaboration with Motown Hitsville. Love was released on 14th November 2009 in the United Kingdom and you may have seen them in the days leading up to that date ...

This was one of Take That's biggest hits and was originally released in 1995. This version has a similar sound with slight changes which in my opinion improve the ...
