Advantages: great cd amazing rapping from an amazing guy
Disadvantages: not many extras on the cd

this cd although it is a rap cd is like an origional rap cd xibit has his own very destinct sound and he uses it wel on here. The lyrics on this cd are amazing there are alot of swear words thoung so its not adviseable for young children. All the tracks on this cd are quality you can listen to them over and over and still not get bored every track is a hole diferent sound. This was the first of xibits albums i bought so i cant reli compare it with ...

Advantages: good beats nice mixture of songs
Disadvantages: none off the top of my head

...goes on to say about weapons of mass destruction (like we didnt see that one coming) my advice would be to skip this and go on to track 2, as this is boring and will be a waste of listening time 1/10 **LAX** This song has a very good beat to it, which is backed up well with the lyrics which match together to create a very catchy song. also it has a chorus which will leave you singing it. 6/10 **COLD WORLD** This song is about how the world is ...
...up with for example a family which is too poor to move away from a warzone and belive that if they were gonna die they would die together. again this has a very good beat to it 6/10 **SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE** (FEATURING JELLY ROLL) this begins with a highish voice singing but sounds very good, it again has a very good beat, and you cant resist to nod you head to it : ) 7/10 **MUTHA F#CKA** Personally i love this song, its fast tempo and despite ...

Advantages: A couple of good dance tunes
Disadvantages: Repetitive lines

"51/50 Ratchet" is the debut album from the Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris. When this dropped, 2007, the musician was only eighteen years old, and to fit in with what is expected of young rappers, espcially ones from the Dirty South, he has come out with some 'ringtone rap' with his hit single "A Bay Bay and "The Hand Clap" which followed on from it. 1. "Getting Money" (feat. Nicole Wray) This track get the album off to a shaky start as it isn't ...
...have to say tha I expect it though because he basially summarises his life stroy to the lsitenr in order to make up a little introduction for you before getitng itno his music. This little contextual information can be overlooked though as it doesn't bring out anything out of the ordinary. **Two Stars** 2. "A Bay Bay" This is the big single from the album and as his debut, it manged to catapult him into fame at the start of 2007. From there the ... Read review

Advantages: street music!
Disadvantages: too much street music!

Having been a big fan of fifty cent when he first burst on to the scene, and also a big fan of G Unit, i have to be honest, my interest has waned of late thanks to a couple of mediocre releases and an attempted cross-over into more radio friendly music. With the release of G Unit's anticipated sophomore album, it gives us a chance to see whether they really have crossed over, or if they remain true to the streets which raised them. Starting with ...
...definitely get you to pick it up if you saw it in the store. The album opens with Straight Outta Southside - a supposed ode to Sean Bell who was shit by police, but it doesn't actually make any reference to him, apart from once! It seems to be a cover of straight outta compton by NWA, but is nowhere near as good, a definite miss to open the album! We then lurch into piano man and close to me, two decent songs but forgettable nonetheless. Finally ... Read review
