A vitriolic response to his critics

Advantages: Awesome raps, great rhymes, intelligent debate
Disadvantages: Lyrically a tad rude for some.

The Eminem Show Released in 2002, this is one of Eminems strongest albums, it sold over a million copies in its first week of release and is Eminem singing and rapping about his life, from his popularity with some and lack of with others through his divorce, his personal feuds and his love for his daughter, this is a man basically laying himself bare, by the end you can see why he wanted the break from music he alludes to so often, he has basically ...
...Kaniff an alter ego of Eminem opens the show, simply walking on stage and introducing the Eminem Show, this is 20 seconds long and doesn’t add anything or set the scene really. 2. White America This is a really angry rant about everything Em felt was wrong with America at the time this album was made. Its about how he’s made it as a white rapper against a lot of prejudice and people ready to mock him at every turn, it also seeks to set the record ...

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

Clones is just nice beats, bad vocals

Advantages: Neptunes Production, A Couple of Decent Joints, ODB
Disadvantages: Commercial Artists and Songs, Terrible Rappers

...the past 2 years, the Neptunes team of Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams have plagued the commercial music industry like cancer. Theyve produced a countless amount of hits for not only hip-hop artists, but have crossed over into R&B and pop and supplied their futurisitic beats for other artists in other genres. Both usually stand behind the boards, but Pharrell Williams has grown accustomed to singing hooks for acts such as The Clipse, Jay-Z, Snoop ...
...too commercial. Anyways, recently the Neptunes have released a compilation of new beats with the so-called "hottest" rappers out there, an album entitled Clones. Even though these guys are relatively good behind the boards, they dont bring anything new to the table and are extremely repetitive, not to mention their choice of rappers for this album is... in a word.. poor. The real name of this album shoud've been "The Neptunes Present... CRAP". Admittedly, ...

Review of Neptunes Present...Clones, The [PA] - Neptunes (The)

Some Thuggish, Ruggish Bones

Advantages: Original
Disadvantages: Little variation

Although not strictly the first album they released together, “E 1999 Eternal” (referencing the executive producer and record label owner Eazy-E who guided them through this before dying of AIDS earlier in the year) was the official debut from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony a rare Cleveland , Ohio rap group who chose to opt with the West Coast style as they performed with five of the area’s best MCs: Flesh-N-Bone, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzie Bone and ...
...get things going properly, you have them dropping a track where they show their main influences by merging the West Coast g-Funk of around this time (although mainly prior to this), and from here, they also introduce a little Horrocore, a style which they chose not to associate with as they dissed Three 6 Mafia (one of the biggest acts in this style at the time). **Four Stars** 3. “Eternal” Using the same title which was used for one of the last ...

Review of E1999 Eternal - Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

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 ...

...will say the same. Freedom garnered mixed reviews by critics. Rolling Stone described Akon's third studio album as "melodrama about love and love lost delivered in a hooting style over synth-swamped beats." Dan Leroy of courant.com gave a positive review to the album, "Akon's undeniable gift for hooks makes this an easy listen, and the ex-con posturing isn't missed." Each song range from s style such from smooth ballads to to electro type based ...
