Review of Take Me To Your Leader - King Geedorah

All Big Letters But It Isn't No Acronym

Advantages: Lyrics, Production, Whole Thing Really
Disadvantages: n/a

'Born Like This' is DOOM's (previously MF Doom and many many other pseudonyms) most recent album which was released on Mrach 24th 2009 on the Lex Records label. This album continues Doom's approach of playing a cartoon-esque supervillain and he is joined by various other characters throughout the album thanks to some awesome cameo appearances. The man behind the mask produces the majority of the album himself (ten of the seventeen tracks) but guest ...
...and te deceased J Dilla provides the backing track for two songs on here. 1. Supervillain Intro Short intro to the album sees Doom boasting over his own Coca Leaf beat (which will be used again later on in the album). 2. Gazzillion Ear First tune proper, this is a great track. Produced by J Dilla, this uses a wide range of samples but, as you would expect, all are crafted perfectly. Doom rhymes over this one more aggressively at the beginning but ...

Review of Born Into This [PA] - MF Doom

Rudolph The Funky-Soul Reindeer? It Gotsta Be Boosty, Baby

Advantages: The Funk
Disadvantages: Few songs sound 'Christmas'y'

...2006 and came as a Christmas album from Funk legend Bootsy Collins (known for his work as a bassist in The J.B.'s, Funkadelic, Parliamnet and Boosty Collins' Rubber Band). It finds him bringing his own P-Funk twist on a variety of Christmas hits in that style as well as Hip Hop and Soul as we get him producing and singing with guest appearances from Gary Shider, Fred Wesley, Bernie Worrell and Snoop Dogg. 1.“N-Yo-City” Starting the album we see that ...
...**Four Stars** 2.“Merry Christmas Baby” Here we find that we get a track that brings the Funk out in a way that you really wouldn't have ben able to anticipate (even with the introductory cut) as we see that here we have synth joining some live instrumental bass work from his brother Catfish Collins, and Boosty himself makes his first apparent on the record by coming to deliver a fly hook and half-developed verses that take you back to the times ...

Review of Christmas Is 4 Ever - Bootsy Collins

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 Eminem Show, The (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Eminem

Christmas Rappin' (With Not Kurtis Blow)

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One average tune

...you tend to connect with Christmas time. **Four Stars** 3.“Dana Dane Is Coming To Town” - Dana Dane Here we get a funky jam that I really can't see any rooms for complaints in as we find that Dana Dane comes in with some storytelling rhymes that seem to take on all that Slick Rick was known for (even though he didn't debut as a solo artist until the year after this). He comes out with flows which have him telling a rather straight-forward tale that ...
...making good use of past Christmas song samples to help him as he does his thing. **Five Stars** 7.“He's Santa Claus” - Disco 4 Starting off with a little “Jingle Bells” (as just about ever other on this album up to this point) we see that we get a track that soon changes its direction as the cold beats come into effect and the rappers in the crew come to do their thing by all giving each other a chance to lay down their own stuff on the mic(rophone) ...
