...'Witness (One Hope)'. The Badmeaningood series was designed to give big names in the hip-hop scene the chance to define their genre and their feelings towards music. Skitz put together the first part in the series, which was a CD I adored. Obviously then, I was excited to pick up the second part of the series, expecting more of the eclectic but seamless and, above all else, enjoyable rare music I was provided previously. Sure, these albums could ...
...in question free reign to include whatever tracks they want without explanation, but at least you can expect them to deliver the goods in the form of hardcore music hand-picked and mixed by the professionals. Or can you? Please don't pick this up if you want a selection of hard hip-hop beats - while there is quite a lot of rap on this album, this isn't a 100% rap collection. It's a mixture of styles, incorporating R&B, ska and reggae. So, now we've ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing Tracks With A Vast Variety
Disadvantages: Some Tracks Lack Charcter Though

T-Pain in my opinion is one of the biggest music gods of all time...Epiphany follows on from his previous success of Rappa Ternt Sanga and takes it to a whole new level. With amazing collabarations with artists such as Yung Joc and Akon, you cant go wrong with this album. For a feel of what this album is truly like, T-Pain is from the same record label as Akon and they produce the same genre of music within their albums. So if you liked any of Akons ... Read review

Advantages: ummm...the nasheed medley! some tracks meaningful...
Disadvantages: waste of money on most tracks

I think 786 couldve done much much more to produce a good album. Most of the tracks arent very good. Heres a summary: Track 1 - Shahada Shahada is the Islamic creed. It means " to testify" or "to bear witness" in Arabic. It is the declaration of belief in the oneness of Allah (God) and in Muhammad (s.a.w) as His final prophet. Recitation of the Shahada is one of the five pillars of Islam for Muslims. Anyway, now you know what it is about, i will ...
...one of the singers gives a translation of the shahada - "Laa ilaha illallah, muhammadur-rasulallah" - There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger... Track 2 - Heavens Keys This track is nice....purely singing, and only clicking as a beat - it is a track about finding Heaven and getting into it... Track 3 - Ya'Allah The lyrics are quite ok for this one....beat is good, and the message is pretty clear - to ask for forgiveness from God ... Read review

Advantages: Loads of tracks
Disadvantages: Poor Quality, no real easy listening tunes, money making scam

Dr Dre now presents a double disked CD which offers some of his greatest projects to date. This CD contains various hit records which he himself has being a part of and produced. Acts include the legendary NWA to 2 Live Crew. This CD is definately worth the money due to the various different types of music which are offered on this CD and various different genres apart from his own specialised genre - gangster rap. The variation in artists and music ...
...first CD finishes playing. In Dr Dres fashion only the biggest hits are shown on this CD and all of the songs definately are timeless hits. However this CD is only for Dr Dre hardcore fans. This is definately not the CD for average listeners who are just wanting a variety of music genres which are easy listening. None of these tracks are easy listening and if Im being honest even though the CD is excellent value for money it feels as if Dr Dre is ... Read review

Advantages: amazing history behind the songs and great music.
Disadvantages: none at all.

This cd in my opinion was a great turing point in eminems career. This cd changed him from fame to super stardum. In this cd he attacks everyone who critersized his first album "the slim shady lp" and famously his ex wife Kim and his mum. The fact that he has chosen to use his real name for the title of this his seccond album shows that this album is alot more personal to him. This album is alot darker than his first as the only upbeat song there ...
...the only reason he wrote this was to have a radio friendly song on the album. This album reached number one on the charts; billbord 200, top R'n'B/hip-hop albums, top canadian albums and top internet albums. This cd was a beak through in rap and has continued to be sucsessful even to this day. The only content significantly edited were offensive and violent parts that were aimed at police, women, homosexuals, and schools such as columbine and even ... Read review
