Modern Alchemist, The - Blodwyn Pig

Advantages: Top Beats
Disadvantages: Alchemist doenst hardly rap on the album

...With a catalog of hits that includes both known classics and unknown gems, the Alchemist delivers his own full length album with 1st Infantry. Going the Pete Rock route, Al enlists MCs from East to West and everywhere in between, to bless his production, while spitting a few bars here and there. Loaded with 19 tracks, and serving as Al's "official" debut, 1st Infantry combines (sample-based production, with soul -- NOT relying on vocal samples) all of the elements that have got Alchemist the notoriety and longevity that he's enjoyed thus far.

Advantages: Another superb Floyd Album
Disadvantages: Nothing

...I first heard the music from this album on a bootleg mono cassette from a concert in Manchester.

The concept is that people can be categorised as Dogs , Pigs or Sheep and this is one of the better latter Floyd albums. Even though all the tracks are quite long (barring Pigs on the Wing parts one and two) this is another superb Floyd album. Not for the faint of heart, this is Floyd with teeth, very big teeth....

Advantages: Range of Producers LittleJon, Kayne West
Disadvantages: Not consistent as Hell on Earth

...This is a good album from Mobb Deep and has some real classic tunes but it lacks what some of their early material features, Hell on earth for instance was a flawless album in my opinion, However this album has a range of producers and includes a track called Real Gangstarz which is produced by Lil Jon and another track produced by Kayne west called Throw your Hands (in the air) which is one of the stronger tracks on this album. Two of the best tracks have got to be When u hear the which is an alchemist beat and has the real Mobb Deep feel to it, another great track on this alubm is the massive hit Got it twisted, i recon this track is heavy, lyrics really gave me a buzz with a catchy chorus. Over all this isnt the best album by Mobb and some of the tunes are more chilled out compared to some of the earleier tunes but its a good album... Read review
