NOT HIS BEST EVER, BUT STILL BETTER THEN MOST

Advantages: production, lyricism.
Disadvantages: some commerical crappy gimmicky type tracks.

...99 % sure, is better then most rappers YOU have ever heard. Of course a rapper like J is not going to recieve any recognition in today's ringtone mania industry full of gimmicky songs with no substance and meaning. Yet, here we go on the track details on the album voted 'Hip Hop Connection' magazine's album of the month June 2008 (a very prestigious uk hip hop magazine). 1.) One to 31 3:29 This song has a real classic golden age hip hop era feel ...
...title. There is obviously more then bragging rights on J's mind. After a lot of label (record company) trouble, aswell as a consumer market that is only looking for ringtone downloads J refuses to be a slave. He promises to 'man up in ways boys aint prepared to' and has dumb rappers in his scope with this track promising nothing less then the purest form of hip hop. 3.) The upgrade (feat. Posdanous & Oddisee) 5:59 Fresh beat with old skool scratches ...
