What Was The Last Album You Listened To?

[Emadyville]

JayZ - The Blueprint 3

[Tranquil]

The Game - LAX: Leftovers

[Xray]

Street Hop

I personally didn't feel the production at all. For me this album was a disappointment. Only tracks I like are Street Hop 2010, On the Run, Part of Me. Only reason I say this album was disappointing was because of the poor production, most of the beats sounded the same, and were mad loud I hate loud noisy beats, and shit like that ruins tracks for me. Those tracks I mentioned were listenable.

I recall you love "The Infamous".

I gave it another full listen after several weeks of not listening to it all-the-way-through and I gotta say, it's a Queensbridge classic. With tracks like "Survival of the Fittest", "Temperature's Rising", "Trife Life", and "Shook Ones Pt. II", to name a few, the album lives up to its hype.

Personally, the Havoc production on "Temperature's Rising" is beautiful. Haha, I usually use the word dope, but the beat is more melodically flowing than plain raw, which it still is.

Cradle of the Grave and its prelude also stands out to me. It's a depressing outlook at urban life. Not necessarily in my top 5 hip hop albums of all time, but definitely in top 10, I hope.

JayZ - The Blueprint 3

Great album, at most to the average hip hop head.

I mean, I probably haven't gave it a good, thorough listen, but I've listened to 90% of the tracks and I kinda feel Jay-Z is stuck in this musical "lump", no pun intended. LMAO.

But really, lyrically, Jay-Z sounds a little unfocused, and concept-wise, he doesn't bring extreme creativity, but good enough for the typical listener.

Beats are great, but not on the Blueprint 1 level.

The album is just like eh... It could have been better, in many ways, but I'm just glad it wasn't worse.

[Relapse.LP]

Ill Bill - What's Wrong With Bill?

Chest infection again He should stop smokin that shit...



Raekwon - OBFCLII...

lmfao @ Gihad. Amazing album though

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt. I is the overall better album, but Pt. II is pretty damn good and that's an understatement.

Only thing I really have a problem is with Raekwon's rapping is that his flow could be a little improved. (His voice does give him a raw feel though.) And he probably could make a little more sense in some verses, no offense. He puts words together randomly that relate, sometimes, in a verse, but not necessarily relate together. They relate to a general topic. But I have no problem with that, really.

Word up, and the fact Havoc made those beats specifically Shook Ones Pt. II at the age of 19 is crazy. Definitely top 10. Havoc is also a top 10 producer for me, well he used to be.

[Relapse.LP]

He made them when he was 19? Wtf. Mad respect for him now.

Yep I assume he was 19 because of that Prodigy line "I'm only 19 but my mind is older". And also it says on wiki that they were 17 when they made Juvenile Hell, and The Infamous was released 3 years later, but it was recorded 94-95 so word. Have you listened to the original songs he sampled on them beats? All I can say is Havoc is one complex sampler, guys a genius.

Defo

I love The Infamous. I just love the dark and raw beats along Prodigy's rhyming. Love it.

I've been listening to (apart from Ghostdini):

Scarface - The Fix

There isn't a track yet that I love but there isn't a track yet that I dislike either. It's a good album at the moment and it seems as if I'm going to be liking it much more.

9th Wonder - God's Stepson

I was expecting something better from this remix album but most of the beats for me are below the original God's Son level. Apart from one or two I don't think they're that great...

I feel what you sayin' man, and I agree, him and Ghostface have that thing with making sense in their verses, but I don't mind as long as it makes for great music.
