Advantages: Very good beats
Disadvantages: No consistency

Flowing fresh out of the oven with his fourth solo effort, Memphis Bleek's new album, 534, is blessed by one of the sweetest songs of the summer with the help of Jay-Z. "Dear Summer" has become an anthem, yet the album fails to follow through with the single, which comes at an early third on the track list. While the album is not groundbreaking or terribly concentrated, it is a complete and valid project. With "Dear Summer," Jay drops in to lay a ...
...perfect joint for a ride around the neighborhood. Just Blaze drops a dope beat to add to the harmonic soulful sample. While the album does read Memphis Bleek, he's an absentee landlord on "Dear Summer."

Following on from my review of Tool's 10,000 days I have decided to review something a little different and it's fair to say there won't be too many people who will like both Tool and Usher as a search on facebook for people who like both artists comes up a blank. Anyway Usher's album My Way was his second album and was released in 1997 it was the album that made him into a star selling over 8 million copies worldwide before he ...
...to have. 5.) My Way This isnt a cover of Frank Sinatra's well known track but a funky hip hop featuring Jermaine Dupri. It is a song about having confidence in yourself knowing that your way is the right way. A great song with a great message. 6.)

This works very well and makes the ... Read review
