'I Make The Greatest Hits'

Advantages: some great tracks, attempts at concepts, decent lyrics in places
Disadvantages: doesn't match expectations, lack of his previous hits he was known for

Skepta released his debut LP 'Greatest Hits' in the fall of 2007 and, despite promise, the result was short of the expectations. It's ironic since Skepta falls victim to his own lyric, and that his old music is better than his latest shit, with no autopsies or intensive snares in sight. The inclusion of Duppy proves the point. However there are some on-point tracks with abundant quality, hinting a truer indication of what one of grime's top artists ...
...along with The Journey, some sort of concept that should be praised. In a Corner is arguably the best grime song of 2007, and Blood, Sweat and Tears has good bars from all involved on a tune that enjoyed good radio play. The problem is that there's no middle ground. Sweet Mother was a fair idea but it's novelty wore off after 5 minutes, the beat to Not Your Average Joe was poor, and Cold Turkey is an unfortunate skip track. There are things to commend ...

Can't Nobody Do X-Mas Like...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One weak track

...5 Christmas Album” is as the title indicates a Christmas-themed release from the Indiana Pop, Soul and Disco group The Jackson 5. Released in 1970, it was their fourth overall album (in spite of making their Motown debut the year before) and finds that Jermaine, Michael, Tito, Marlon and Jackie come together to bring a record that has them both covering classics and bringing new, original songs too. 1.“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” The ...
...have a soothing tune from the act as they bring forward something that al are bound to find familiar and one that enables them to bring forward the Soul end of their music to show just how they are able to transform a tune that all know by giving it a spin that suits the direction of their music and what they had brought with the two other album from 1970. **Four Stars** 2.“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” As things move on we are brought to a track ...

Beyonce's Fierce!

Advantages: Songs , Voice
Disadvantages: None!

Recently , I was sorting out my CD collection (putting CDs back into their correct cases etc), when I realised that I had a lot of CDs in my collection which I hadn't already reviewed , and so thought I'd share my reviews on them. Until this year , although Beyonce has always been a 'big star' , I had never really taken much notice of her. Although , this year , releasing some of the best songs of the year , I realised what a good artist Beyonce ...
...'Halo' , I just had to buy her album. I Am ...Sasha Fierce is the the third studio album from Beyonce released in the United Kingdom on November 17th 2008. The album comes under the 'RnB' and Pop genres. The album has twelve tracks on it , which are split down onto two different CDs. The first CD represents Beyonce's sweet and 'ballad-y' style , whereas the other CD is taken over by her alter-ego , Sasha Fierce , and contains more attitude bursting ...

Review of I Am... Sasha Fierce - Beyonce

I've Had My Fill

Advantages: Excellent lyrics
Disadvantages: No stand out tunes, dull

...With the release of Relapse back in early 2009 it would seem that Eminem was back to his best, something which the critics didn’t quite agree with since the album only reached a mediocre 3 out 5 on most websites. With only a couple of releases it was clear that Eminem was going to have to pull something new out of the bag in order to regain his King Of Hip Hop crown that seems to be continuously dragged from his head by the likes of Kanye West and ...
...of Relapse and includes, not only the 20 songs that were on the original album but 7 new songs to tide fans over until the release of Relapse 2. Much like Lady Gaga has done recently, re-releasing an album with only a few new tracks I always find is the lazy option however with the news that he’ll be releasing his brand new album next year I think we can let him off. So is the re-release of Relapse titled ‘Refill’ actually any good and more importantly ...
