Review - M.O.P. - Foundation

Posted by Wally $ean On October 1, 2009

Arguably the most hardcore of all hip-hop artists to grace the scene, M.O.P., individually known as Billy Danze and Lil’ Fame aka Fizzy Womack, have secured an incredibly devoted fan base with their raucous, no holds-barred music. Despite the Brownsville duo’s numerous label setbacks, courtesy of Roc-a-Fella and G-Unit Records, fans still remain to the foundation. Now, after nine years since their last proper studio album Warriorz in 2000, the Mash-Out Posse has returned with their latest studio album Foundation.

Review - Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...II

Posted by Wally $ean On September 20, 2009

It's been five long years since Raekwon announced his plans to release the sequel to his masterpiece debut Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... in 1995. And with two previous duds under his belt, Immobilarity and The Lex Diamond Story, it seemed like CL II was going to follow suit, if at all...[yet] Cuban Linx II is an album perfectly matched for the current state of Hip-Hop. Rae middles between the old school vibes of the 5 year plan era Wu-Tang and the harder edge music of the present...Break out the blue and cream Clark's, it's time for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...Vol. 2.

Review - Big Twins - The Project Kid

Posted by Wally $ean On August 28, 2009

As of late, it seems as if Queensbridge's musical luminosity has dulled...yet such an assumption is incorrect as longtime Mobb Deep affiliate Big Twins has unleashed his debut solo album The Project Kid. The gravel-voice Twins isn't necessarily a strong rapper. Much like his mentor Prodigy, he delivers simplistic rhymes. Yet what firmly anchors The Project Kid is Twins' hard-body and antagonistic delivery and a blazing production line up from producers like the Alchemist and Sid Roams. The Project Kid shakes and skulks with a paranoid, antisocial tension that makes it an intriguing and worthwhile listen

Review - Slaughterhouse - Slaughterhouse

Posted by Wally $ean On August 17, 2009

Slaughterhouse is sure to be one of the most impressive albums this year has to offer. Granted, it has its errors, many of which are quite glaring. Yet despite its shortcomings, the four emcees work together in such an incredible and inspiring way that many of the problems pale in comparison to the album's plethora of successes. If nothing else, Joey, Joell, Crook and Royce have provided a glimmer of lyrical hope to this twisted Hip-Hop game.

Review - Fabolous - Loso's Way

Posted by Wally $ean On August 9, 2009

In these economically precarious times, Fab once again proves the victor, with his latest album Loso's Way topping the charts in its opening week, some only one other Brooklyn-born emcee has managed to do in a very long while. His secret? Club bangers and slow jams by the dozens. Loso's Way isn't necessarily remarkable in respects to the music he makes. In fact, it might evoke deja vu in fans of his previous work. Yet what is remarkable about Fab is how he's able to work with so little and yet make so much.

Yeah, I know, no Movie Monday two straight weeks? What gives? Well, I actually need to watch some more significant movies, something I haven't done in a damn minute. Anyway, it's Tuesday, so that means it's time for on the record. Kind of a small day today, only Crooked I's EP, Wale's Attenion: Deficit, Bekay's Hunger Pains LP and the more or less "best of" DOOM's collabs Unexpected Guests

Serius Jones - "Meet Me At the Top"

Posted by Wally $ean On Monday, November 09, 2009 0 comments

New joint from J.1.S called "Meet Me At the Top," produced by Aktual. I'm assuming this is part of the weekly series that he announced awhile back, but I could be very wrong. As y'all might know, I'm not a fan of those types of things, so...yeah.

Memphis Bleek feat. Denim - "They Don't Know"

Posted by Wally $ean On Monday, November 09, 2009 0 comments

No, they really don't, Bleek, since that would require them to listen to you. I joke, but in all honesty, Bleek is higher in my book than Jay right now. People shit on Beans for speaking out against Jay, but he's probably right. I mean, Jay's a helluva business man, no doubt, but dropping the dudes you brought into the game into a veritable fuckin' limbo for 'Ye, Ri-Ri, Jeezy and Rick Ross deserves a big "go fuck yourself."

Oh shit, a triple play from S the Ghost? Yessir! Sadly, they're all clean, but who the fuck am I to complain? SP > Most other dudes. Sadly, though, we'll have to wait for the Green Lantern/SP album, which apparently got pushed back.
