Smells like funk...??!

Advantages: Funky!!
Disadvantages: Some boring songs on the album!

The Blackeyed Peas- Elephunk Interscope records, licensed to Polydor Ltd (UK) The "peas" are also known as Will.i.am, Fergie,Taboo and Apl.de.ap. The peas have been around in the hip hop music scene for years know, and true die hard hip hop/RnB fans may say that their commercialisation has spoilt the genre. However, as one of these fans, I am nothing but impressed with the album. I tend to buy albums that reflect in a certain memory in my life. ...
...throughout the whole of my girlie ski trip to South Germany and became our sound track! From then on, we all had to get it! As a musician myself I can appreciate the fine form of all things musical, but particularly the catchy tunes with a range of rythmical influences such as salsa and latino which i love. In a nutshell then, its just down right funky! In my opinion, the album is very good, strong and powerful. No two songs are the same in style, ...

Review of Elephunk [PA] - Black Eyed Peas

The Eminem Show - by Eminem

Advantages: Great quality music, lots of songs to suit your mood
Disadvantages: Couple of poor songs, controversial if you're not into this music

...Movie World of Reviews. The Eminem Show is probably the only album I feel I know well enough to write about, so here goes. Rap artist Eminem has been around for over a decade now. He burst into the hiphop/rap scene and created massive controversy and faced ridicule for being a white rapper, fighting against all the black artists such a P. Diddy, D12, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, just to name a few. He began his music life releasing The Slim Shady ...
...Slim Shady, another nickname. Eminem released The Eminem Show in 2002. It sold over a million copies very quickly, and was a bit more playful than his latest two albums (mentioned above). The Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers LPs were very serious, about guns, suicide, killing, how much he hates his mum and family and wants them dead (not nice..), and how he hated other artists. The Eminem Show's first released single was 'Without Me'. In the video of ...

Review of Love - Boyz II Men

Good Girl Gone Bad?

Advantages: Edgier, more grown up sound
Disadvantages: Lacks the variety of her previous album, may alienate some of her younger fans

...has she caved with her Rated R album? Up until the release of Good Girl Gone Bad I was a fan of Rihanna’s and had previously purchased all her albums but to me she was simply another conventional mainstream R&B artist that rise as quickly as they fall but with the help of mentor Jay Z she’s changed public opinion on her and become a worthy rival to the likes of Beyonce. The album begins subtly with the synthy beats of Mad House, this track is definitely ...
...guidance rating however the title Rated R evidently means more than previously expected. One surprise that I found when listening to this album is that it doesn’t feature her recent collaboration with Jay Z and Kanye West, Run This Town reached number one in the charts and something that I find a lot is that if the artist only featured on the song they will remix it to add more of their vocals so it can feature on their album. Ashanti is someone ...

Review of Rated R - Rihanna

Reflections of the way life used to be..

Advantages: Wonderful music
Disadvantages: None

...it cost me £10.50. 40 Golden Motown Greats Diana Ross and The Supremes (although there are other artists as well) Compiled in 1998 I really do not know how I missed this one. When I looked at the songs on this CD it brought back a funny memory of my 10th Wedding Anniversary when we had a huge party it was a hot day way back in the 1980's and at that time we used tapes and long playing records. I had Diana Ross on a long player it was my favourite ...
...a low wall outside in the garden to be played next - the sun decided it should not be a record anymore but a nice black bowl. It was never replaced because I could never quite replace all the songs on one disc. This little gem has at last done that for me. There are two discs - disc one has 24 tunes and disc two 16. Listed on disc one - Where Did Our Love Go -Diana Ross and The Supremes -1964 (First number 1) Baby Love -Diana Ross and The Supremes ...
