Anyway back to the album which is a real classic from radio one DJ Tim Westwood. The thing is Tim Westwood is a white, 40-something English man who's dads a vicar and yet he gets massive respect from all the major rappers which just isn't right.

This album is a class act mixing big artists such as DMX and Ludacris, underground artists like Dead Prez and Three Six Mafia and UK acts like Seanie T, Roots Manuva, Skinnyman and Karl Hinds.

As you may notice from this album list there are many Def Jam artists on this album which may be because he's on Def Jam Himself or maybe he just likes them. Talking of liking things i'm gonna write my top 5 for all you lucky people

5. Jay-Z - Izzo (H.O.V.A)
-------------------------
Taken from the new album Blueprint which has had mixed reviews, this anthem is a real classic. Jay-Z is back to his best as far as this track is concerned catchy chorus, great lyrics and brilliantly mastered

4. Seanie T With Roots Manuva & Karl Hinds
------------------------------------------
An unknown English act that joins a artist (Roots Manuva) that has made a name for himself not only in th UK but also In The US which is no mean feat. Roots provides the chorus for this along with Karl Hinds another UK act. Seanie T shows his potential as a great rapper on this with his slick rapping and sublime beats.

3. DMX - We Right Here
----------------------
This one from Dark Man X is a real street anthem with its rough beats and even more rough lyrics. This song is DMX best since the classic Ruff Ryders Anthem and thats a hard song to beat. DMX really shows people what he is capable of in this song.

2. 2Pac - Thug Nature
---------------------
The late Makaveli appears on this album 5 years after his death. The previously unreleased track is a real classic. Although it comes no where near tracks like California Love and Keep Ya Head Up it still shows why 2pac was a leader in the rap industry. This man is a magician he actually did over 300 songs in his short career and not all them have been released so look out for more hits from Pac

1. Redman Feat. Adam F - Smash Sumthin'
---------------------------------------
This song is produced by Adam F - A UK based producer that is rapidly making a name for himself in the industry. He doesn't disappoint on this track with great background music that only Dr.Dre could come close to. The rapping by Redman is something to shout about his unique rapping style is one of the best things of this tracks. The mix of magic producing and sublime rapping wins the number 1 spot in my top 5

Other Songs That Deserve A Mention
----------------------------------
Iconz - Get Crunked Up
Redman - Smash Sumthin'
Skinnyman - Straight Outta Jail
Ja Rule - Livin' It Up
Ludacris - Ho
Ludacris - Area Codes
