LEARNZ ALBUM REVIEW (ONE LEARNZ)



ONE
       LEARNZ  
    
     A L B U M


Here is the full written review of the One Learnz album. Im going to get this out the way i know this dude and i fucks with him because of his humble personality and he is a stand up person. This One Learnz album is a 16 track cd that is full of lyricism and dope beats that capture you right away. Im not going to beat around the bush so let me just say there is a couple of boring ass beats and corny hooks. It doesn't take away from the enjoyment but it can get annoying because the album could be going so good then the next track pops up and your finger is on the god damm skip button. The other thing that really bugged me was him talking about which rappers he "fucks with", nobody cares dude i want to hear you spit about shit that matters. Now for the shit that i liked. First of all for the budget that he has the production was top notch. His beats were fire and the beats all complemented his flow and delivery. My head was moving throughout the whole album and he carried them all. His story telling was showcased on the song "are you satisfied". He told a story about a female who was depressed because of her rich fucked up childhood. His flow was perfect for the bass drivin beat and the hook was perfect. That song is a fucking hit if only they pushed this guy that song would be like a club anthem. The lyrics were there on this album and let me tell you learnz lyrically is better than alot of cats. Learnz has lyrics for days and his song writing ability is on another planet. "Yo Learnz yo should ghost write"! Now the most lyrical track was track 14 "its just me" and the hook was hot. Don't get me wrong the album could of used some polishing up but like i said for the budget he has this is top notch. Just imagine if this dude had Dre or Premier? My favorite track on the album was track 7 "nutrition facts" because of the beat and the concept. Im telling you this dude is one of the nicest on the underground scene and all he needs is some airplay and to be put out there. Overall the album is a good one but not a classic but it could have been if he would have shortened it by 6 songs. Good album learnz keep doing you and push yourself and keep putting out new shit. Out of 10 this album gets a 7.3 out of 10. I learned something after playing this album. "One Learnz"

Canibus And Keith Murray album The Under Gods review

Canibus and Keith Murray have teamed up and made a 7 song Lp that really impressed me. Now Canibus is one of my favorite Rappers of all time because of his lyrical power and his flow. Keith Murray is alright but he doesn't amaze me. The album only contains 7 songs so it is very short. Point black lyrically Canibus kills it in every song and shows why he is one of the greatest. Keith Murray goes in on a couple of songs but he starts to get annoying early in the album. The beats they picked were perfect for they respected flows and voices. Now the problem is the topics they use in the album are all over the place. I would get lost here and there on some songs. They go extra hard on every track and the production was superb. Classic canibus and you have to let the album grow on you if you really want to enjoy it. The best song on the album is 129 because of the beat and the verse Keith Murray has on it. I give this album a 7.5 out of 10.

Thank Drizzy Later (Dead ass)


Thank him later!!!!!










                                                                                                                                                                      Now let me say this i am not the biggest Drake fan in the world but i give credit where credit is due so i wouldn't deny him if he does something spectacular or hot. Now on to the review of the thank me later album that he released on June 15. This very anticipated album was well waited for and the whole world wanted to see what this rapper/singer is about and the album gives you a good example of what he is about. Now the album has a couple of cameos, should we be surprised? We all know Drake is going to get all the hottest rappers in the game to either produce or rap in his album. Now there was nothing special about the cameos here. Ti made a performance on a song called fancy, nothing special. The horrible Nicki Minaj gave a boring performance on the song. I guess a fat ass isn't so special when you cant see it, "hey Nicki stay in you lane and show me some more eye candy". Im not going to lie but fire works was on point as far as Drake flowing and the hook was decent. Drake did his thing on that song despite complaining about his life and whatnot. Lil Wayne was on the album and he sucked as usual. He sounded like he was high on that cough syrup. The production was good and there wasn't anything special when it came to beat selection. He had two singles on the album, over, and find your love. I have heard better versions of over from the likes of Royce and eminem so i wasn't amazed and find your love is a song for the ladies but its catchy. With the funding he got from his label those two singles got so much radio play people we forced to like it. The album is boring and the beats were just typical Drake. The album didn't get my head moving and i skipped a couple of tracks due to weak hooks and him singing to much. The album will sell due to his large fan base and people will praise it even though the album isn't even ok. Boring album and i am not surprised. He does flow on the album here and there but the topics in which he talks about just aren't important. He either brags about his money and fame or complains that all his fame is bringing him down. Maybe his next album can contain less singing and more spitting. O yea i almost forgot he used auto-tune on the album just to remind you guys he isn't a natural singer. I give this album a 5 out of 10. "Hiphopisgone".....

EMINEM (RECOVERY ALBUM REVIEW) HE'S BACK PEOPLE!!!!!

Mr. Shady is back people. Em's highly anticipated album is finally here with a leak that was released this week and it's out for every one to download. Now lets start off with this album isn't like his relapse album it's a lot more put together as far as the theme and the topics in which he chooses to rap about.  Slim took a different approach when it came to the producers he picked and the beats are very rock influenced which also can take away from the experience because you don't get that Marshall Mathers experience and im not going to lie i don't want rock to be mixed in with hip hop. Hip hop is evolving and i understand that but this is exactly why hip hop isn't ever going to get back to its roots because the rappers are straying away from the hardcore Mc feel. Well the lyrics are there Em is the best at what he does and he can express his feelings better than anyone in the game. His delivery was out of this world on this album and the beats he chose fit his flow. There are 16 songs including a bonus and they all have this he's trying to prove something feel and i feel like the tempo of the album was amazing. There are cameos from Pink, rihanna, and Lil Wayne. The overall product was great and i think Em is back and he's out to kill. I think the rock feel did take away but not to major and his lyrics were amazing. Classic Em album that's going to be playing on my ipod and im going out to purchase it when its released. 9 out of 10 stars in my book great album.......Mrsplatt...

12. Africa Must Wake Up (Feat. K’NAAN)
13. BONUS TRACK Ancient People (feat. Junior Reid)
Just to get this out of the way this is Nas best album of all time. The only album that can compete to this is maybe stillmatic. Im going to go as far as to say this was the best album of Nas overall because of the overall product. The overall album is the greatest he has ever released. The music is insane, you have Damian Marley combining his reggae soulful flow with Nas powerful rhyme scheme. The music in which it's delivered from these two artist is the best this year and you cant go wrong by buying this album. From track one to 7 you are locked on to amazing music, and when i say music your getting jazz, reggae, and hip hop altogether in one album. There are a few songs that were a little dull shall i say because of the tempo of the beats they chose at the end. They also have a song called "my generation" feat Lil Wayne and im saying this now he did go in lyrically as far as grabbing the listener in and making them feel what he was saying. Seems like Nas told him to be serious on this track and not to do all that "goo goo ga ga shit" Wayne be doing on his songs. This is an instant classic go pick it up in stores right away. This album out of 10 should be a 10 but because of a few songs that messed up the tempo ill give it a 9.3..... That shouldn't take away from the overall experience of the album....MrsplattV........
