Realness/True Meaning [PA] - Cormega

Advantages: Traditional Mobb Deep Street Lyricism, Havoc's remarkably brilliant production, Social Consciousness, Some Excellent Guests
Disadvantages: Some Filler, Some Commercialism, Softer than previous albums

...is Mine", a commercial R&B track by Brandy and Monica, which im sure you've heard. The lyricism is good, but some of the commercial elements deteiorate the realness of the track. Not to mention that this isn't Nasty Nas. Remember, this is 1999, meaning its Nas Escobar. Basically, this track is very overrated. Murda Muzik also features some appearances by mediocre emcees 8-Ball and Lil Cease, who are both signed to Bad Boy, the epitamy of horrible rap music. 8-Ball co-stars in the horribly commercialized "Where ya From", in which the good instrumental saves it from having any lower stars. Lil Cease pops in on "Im Going Out", which is surprisingly good. Haunting synthesized production by Havoc adds to the texture of the tight rhymes by Prodigy and Lil Cease. The subject matter makes this a relatively good track, and even Lil Cease shines... Read review

Advantages: Mockingbird, The Bonus Disc is tight
Disadvantages: Em's awful singing and rhyming; Repetitive "Shady" Production and Subject Matter; Juvenile and Immature

...down to an electric chair than have to experience this. Just by looking at the title, "Ass like That" is going to be whack. Was I right? Oh yes. Just teck out the chorus: "the way you move it, you make my pee pee go 'doing doing doing'". However, the saving grace here is the fact that Em donates this song to dissing Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. That's right. The puppet that dissed him 2 years ago is brought out in a diss. This album is quite late in its release. It's fucking hilarious that this idiot considers Triumph a threat... something that isn't even a real entity, yet he's afraid to attack Ja Rule (so he gets D-12 and 50 to do it), and he'll definitely not make a comeback diss to Last Emperor. I'm being more and more convinced that Em is a wimp. He disses a puppet, two white rock singers, a white techno singer, and a magazine... Read review

Advantages: Very consistant. Deep lyrics
Disadvantages: Not as strong as previous albums

..., and are fully aware tha many find it annoying when this is done (as the motivation for it is to waste a few bars). We are taken through the life of a deluded preson, and all of the typical things which preople expect of life, but are never able to accomplish due to a lack of true potential in the eyes of others are explained by a duo who have got over their delusional past. **Four Stars** 3. Life of the Party (Remix) (feat. Skillz and Carlitta Durand) I have to say that I really didn't like the original recording of this track, so it was good to hear them go back and rectify , and improve on tracks from their past. They changed it quite a bit, so I'm not sure whether those who enjoyed the first version would keep those feelings towards this one, but to me it was altered for the better, as they started from scratch and completely re...
