Southport Weekender Vol.7 (Mixed By Mr. Scruff & Jazzanova) - Various Artists

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

...of drug references and average rhymes 10 Crack Commandments - Notorious BIG. A song taken from BIGs Life After Death, probably the worst song on that and this album. Its just a list relating to drug deals making reference to the line, never get high on your own supply. Poor production that im sure has been used since Mr Scarface - Scarface. Ok i take it back this is the worst one. Originally released in 91 so its dated beats dont mix well with the up to date rap Streets Is Watching - Jay Z. Taken from Jay Z's In My Lifetime album. Good intelligent raps, street warfare and feuds discussed here. Not his best track but not bad Dopeman - NWA.A 1989 release added here and classic beats along with the old rap supergroup. Not really a lot going on but its NWA so you pay attention Criminology - Ghostface Killah & Raekwon. A Rza produced... Read review

Advantages: Good selection of skream tracks
Disadvantages: the frequencies tend to stay in the same conceptual space too often

...This mix is quite a hefty run through of all the big tracks of 2007 in the world of Dub-step (which is a relatively new but ever-increasingly popular music genre).

Next is a track from Skream himself which was popular one on pirate radio and in D clubs 'wobble that gut' with minimal progressive beats and bass-lines. Next is another skream track of a remix of a garage track by dj zinc. Its got bass technical-wobbles and a sick vocal (cool). Then its Skream... Read review

Advantages: creates good atmosphere
Disadvantages: repetitive with simular styles

...i think this album has the typical david guetta style to it and generally creates a dance, or good atmosphere. the samples of his music show that he tries to use different ranges of styles o create a party atmosphere when his music is played. i have bought this cd myself, and enjoy listening to his album. the album is affordable and worth the money unlinke some artists who only have a few songs on a whole album. the way his music style is created makes it original and different compared to modern day music. the lyrics in this album are unapropriate for the younger generation and will not be loved by the older generation either. i like this style of music and it creates a good atmosphere. this album would be a great album to buy if you like dance and electronic music....
