Living Up to Expectations

Advantages: Some new tracks and consistency with quality throughout all albums
Disadvantages: Most tracks are older tracks

Great Album, with a couple of new songs on it, definately lives up to expectations, if you likes the previous albums by eminem then you'll love this because it has a lot of great tracks from other albums as well as several new ones including "when i'm gone". As well as some new remixes. Eminem has always been one of my most loved rappers and he continues to step up to the competion and destroy them on album sales. This is just what you would expect ...

Review of Curtain Call (Parental Advisory/The Hits) [PA] - Eminem

What you gonna do when they come for you?

Advantages: Great acting, good onscreen relationships, great entertainment and very watchable
Disadvantages: Unrealistic story line but then it doesn't matter with this film

...and directed by Michael Bay Bad Boys was released in June 1995. ****Story Line**** Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) and Mike Lowry (Will Smith) are partners in the Miami Police Department. Whilst Lowry is the ultimate ‘pimp’ who enjoys the playboy lifestyle of fast cars and even faster women, Burnett is the ‘traditional’ family man with a wife and 3 kids living the quiet suburbs. $100 million of heroin seized in the biggest drug bust of Burnett’s ...
...and the pair have 72 hours to get it back or potentially lose their jobs as the internal affairs division threaten to close down their division. Whilst Burnett and Lowry go on the trail of the prime suspect, Fouchet (Tcheky Karyo) a French drug baron, they ask a local prostitute they know, Maxine (Karen Alexander), to keep an eye out for any clues that could help them retrieve the drugs.

Review of Bad Boy's 10th Anniversary (The Hits/+DVD) - Various Artists

It's Bigger Than Hip Hop

Advantages: Deep lyrics
Disadvantages: Not much variation. Not suited for many

The Dead Presidents are an underground Hip Hop group from Florida. They are very alternative for their gene as they explore themes many would not dare go into. They give an 'in-your-face' approach to educating people on politics, racism and religion, despite the fact the duo are atheists. What they are also known as, dead prez, is written without capital letters for a reason although I cannot remember exactly, I think it was something along the lines ...
...special, so why should special characters be used for their name. dead prez are said to be "somewhere between N.W.A and P.E. (Public Enemy)". So if you think of this combination, you will have the hardcore elements of the West Coast gangsta rap group, but their message will be more political, and is able to be heard by public that are more likely to take action as a result of it. dead prez are nothing like any other Hip Hop group, they are a group ...

Review of Let's Get Free - Dead Prez

Greatest Ever? No Doubt

Advantages: Sublime production, lyrics and delivery. As close to perfect as it gets.
Disadvantages: None.

Illmatic is possibly the most celebrated debut rap album of all time, few since have been heralded for such consistent quality across an entire album. Even looking at the cover you get an indication that there is something a little special about it. It is a potent image, one that combines the vulnerability of the child and the stereotypical rap image of 'the ghetto'. To understand where the quality behind the albums you need only look at the list ...
...Bitch N/A) The Genesis Illmatic is, in my opinion, the greatest rap album of all time. It combines some of the greatest production of all time from legendary producers with a sublime debut performance from Nas himself. My only regret is that Nas has so far fallen dramatically short of the almost high standards he set for himself in this album, in his subsequent albums. Fingers crossed another rapper will produce an album to rival Illmatic in the ...
