    The Society of Invisibles - T.S.O.I.

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    When you think of Arizona, you think of heat. You don't necessarily think Hip Hop. But The Society of Invisibles plan on changing that.

  • Bone Crusher - Release The Beast

    Bone Crusher - Release The Beast

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    Getting called a one-hit wonder doesn't exactly add to his reputation. Will he be dropped again? Will he recapture the glory of his sole hit after appearing on reality TV?

    Jurassic 5 - Feedback

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    Regardless of what you classify them, old school, true school, or if you feel they are just stuck in the past, it really doesn't matter. This is about the music, and the music is damn good.

    Chief Kamachi really supplies that authentic street swagger every rapper and their mom fails to emulate these days.

  • Pharrell - In My Mind

    Pharrell - In My Mind

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    I have to call a spade a spade. Pharrell Williams cannot rap. Not even a little bit. Okay, he's got a good flow, but that's it.

  • JR Writer - History In The Making

    JR Writer - History In The Making

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    If J.R. Writer and his camp were steady pushing back History In The Making's release date in an attempt to build up more anticipation for the LP, somebody should've told them it wasn't necessary.

  • Boot Camp Clik - The Last Stand

    Boot Camp Clik - The Last Stand

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    If rap were a sport, the highlights would earn this album a Dominique Wilkins-esque nickname without a doubt.

  • Mathematics - Soul Of A Man

    Mathematics - Soul Of A Man

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    RZA is widely credited for establishing the ensemble's signature sound with his daunting melodies, but producer/DJ Allah Mathematics has a substantial stat sheet as well.

  • Pimp C - Pimpalation

    Pimp C - Pimpalation

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    Pimpalation is his much anticipated 2nd solo album - the symbol of his emergence from the Texas penal system. Pimp C displays a Lil Kim-like approach to the music on this one, not hesitating to leverage his release from jail into momentum.

  • Rhymefest - Blue Collar

    Rhymefest - Blue Collar

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    Rhymefest has truly earned his billing as a blue collar emcee. Be it an interview, live performance or his music, he comes across as the everyman.

    Lupe is more than talented and, really, this mixtape will just flirt with real Hip Hop fans and encourage increased sales when Food and Liquor hits shelves.

    Dr. Octagon - The Return of Dr. Octagon

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    Dr. Octagon, the deranged gynecologist from the year 3000, returns for yet another strikingly original effort rife with all manner of disgusting bodily fluids.

  • Mr. Lif - Mo' Mega

    Mr. Lif - Mo' Mega

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    Hip Hop is certainly an art form in which age matters. While most younger fans won't pick up a KRS or Chuck D album because they claim they're old and too preachy, Mr. Lif remains right in their crosshairs.

  • Aloe Blacc - Shine Through

    Aloe Blacc - Shine Through

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    The album entitled Shine Through, finds Blacc surrounded within the walls of drum & bass, salsa, soul, dancehall, gospel and folk.

  • Tha Dogg Pound - Cali Iz Active

    Tha Dogg Pound - Cali Iz Active

    Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago

    In any genre, artists are meant to evolve. While the emcees made their careers out of West coast gang bangin' and misogynistic lines, one would hope to see some growth from what some consider West coast legends.
