Freedom Of Speech Review

Advantages: Fast paced, flow filled, production is amazing
Disadvantages: More producers should have been used.

Freedom Of Speech. This grime filled album is best to date with punchlines, war dubs directed at the boy better know camp and direct in your face lyrics. Ghetto is by far the best grime artist throughout this album, the flow is consistent, lyrics more powerful than ever and bars at its peak Buss 1 featuring Devlin is the best track in my opinion it is a violent fast paced track which brings back Ghetto's violent side in which he left on Ghetto Gospel ...
...oldie this album will reaffirm your faith in this genre. Far away from "Wearing My Rolex" this album is honestly how ghetto expresses himself hence the title "Freedom of Speech". "Who's Got" is the track in which he aims lyrics at Wiley, JME, Skepta & Frisco it is a fun track to enjoy whilst on the go. In my opinion best album of 08 in terms of grime. Even the cover is sublime TRACKS Brothers' In Arms is a great track into who Ghetto really is ...

Review of Freedom Of Speech - Ghetto

The world's been told

Advantages: A few good tracks, some creative ideas
Disadvantages: Some duds

Full CD title: Out of the Blue Volume 2: The World Will Know Baby Blue is a female, British, hip hop artist from London. Three things I tend not to like: female rappers, British hip hop, rappers with strong London accents. A friend who was moving house gave this to me, and I had very low expectations. I expected a whole CD with maybe five or six tracks I could stand to listen to, maybe two tracks out of the twenty-three I actually liked. Defiantly ...
...to listen to and drowns out the lyrics of the track with the repetitive jumpiness. 1/5 4. Dreamin' parts 1 & 2 Part 1, ie the first two verses, was on Out of the Blue Volume 1. I think if I had got volume 1 and found out only half of one of the songs was on there I'd feel a little cheated, but this CD has the full version, including the recap. The track concept is pretty good; she wakes up invisible and uses it to find out information on her boyfriend. ...

Review of Out Of The Blue (The World Will Know) - Baby Blue

The Rakim we all know n love is Back!!

Advantages: Every lyric gets you from Ra.
Disadvantages: Some of the beats dont do Ra any justice to his versatillity

Just finished listening to Seventh Seal and have to say i was some what excited to listen to a new album from Rakim whose music i love. In my opinion this album is pretty solid. It starts off with the intro 'how to emcee' average track nothing special, then we get into it with Walk These Streets i dont think he should of had Gucci on this but the beat is crazy and when Ra drops his verse you want to listen to him like you are listening to someone ...
...album has to be Holy Are You, the beat is probably the best on the album in my opinion, Rakim drops some real potent and thought provoking lyrics. The only tracks that i werent feelng were Psycho and Dedicated just didnt like that beats on them but Ra still rocks with the lyrics. Overall a definite album to get for anyhiphop fan, if you havent heard Rakim before this is the best chance to get an understanding of his rythmic flow with upto date ...

Review of Seventh Seal, The - Rakim

Goin' Off Wih The Afro-Nauts; The Original RBGs

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...New York, were found to bring yet more 5%ers, and Afrocentric-based Hip Hop material to play on the trend of this specific time. 1. “Funkin’ Lesson” The album gets underway with some hardcore material and a track that I really can’t any room for any complaint in as we see that they power through with a raw jam that is backed by some of the harshest slaps to assist along the way as they hammer out some intense and in-your-face message that they won’t ...
...to be a little over the top, but I felt it was a great way to kick things off here. **Five Stars** 2. “Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It?” As they move things on a little more, here we see that we get more freaky material and stuff that you simply won’t be able to resist if you are down with all the kinds of things that Hip Hop were about at the time as it grew with the New Jack Swing sounds and so you get hints of this light swinging feel out of ...

Review of To the East, Blackwards - X-Clan

The energy really doesn't die!

Advantages: 16 Brilliant songs
Disadvantages: Only one picture of the band, the rest futuristic people

The E.N.D, (The energy never dies) – The Black Eyed Peas album Buying, Quality and Value for Money I bought my copy of this CD from Tesco, for £9.89, but it can also be found in other supermarkets, or music stores like ZAVVI, HMV or Asda for around the same price. The CD is great value, and has 16 tracks on it, great value for money. Presentation The CD case is quite odd. There are no pictures of the black eyed peas, just futuristic ...
...which is available to watch on YouTube if you haven’t already seen it. On the back of the case is the name of the 16 songs, which are numbered and have the time that they play for after them. The actual CD is black, and in white writing at the top, it says “The E.N.D”. The booklet is in the same design with the futuristic people doping different movements, and information about the songs and who produced and wrote it ect. On the centre page of the ...
