The Roots - Game Theory
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
Game Theory proves to be no exception to the rule; it's unlike the rest of their albums and it's good, but I'd be lying if I only expected a "good" album from the Philadelphia band.

Method Man - 4:21: The Day After
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
4:21: The Day After is easily Meth's best LP since his debut 12 years ago and further proof as to why he is one of the greatest emcees to come out of the 90's.

Kelis - Kelis Was Here
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
Mrs. Jones has remained in a lane of her own and there has never been anyone to step up and give her cause for concern. However, on this album it appears that she feels she has to prove something.

Lake f. Cormega - My Brother's Keeper
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
"It's not what you know, but who you know." That being said, I give you My Brother's Keeper, recorded by Lake, featuring Cormega. That tagline alone should tell you what's up - a relatively famous emcee trying to make his unknown friend known.

J-Zone - To Love A Hooker
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
For someone with J-Zone's pedigree of left-field sampling and off the wall sound bites, a concept album was only a matter of time.

Outkast - Idlewild
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
If you think in 5 years this album won't be held in the same esteem as certified classics ATLiens and Aquemini, then you're sadly mistaken.

Obie Trice - Second Round's On Me
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
These days everyone likes to think that every respectable artist has one "classic" in their catalogue. If that is the case, Second Round's On Me will likely go down as Obie's.

Defari - Street Music
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
While The Liks may be hanging it up as a group, King Tee is mysteriously absent at a time when music needs him most, Xzibit is pimping rides, Defari was in the studio crafting Street Music.

J Dilla - The Shining
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
As implied by the Steven King horror flick the album is titled after, J Dilla's legacy won't ever go away--but it's something to embrace, not be afraid of.
-
Masta Killa - Made In Brooklyn
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
The latest of said projects, Masta Killa's second solo album, continues the recent string of raw releases hopefully destined to return the Wu to its former greatness. After much critical acclaim for No Said Date, expectations for this outing are high.

Agallah - You Already Know
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
Dipset has an audience, and they're gonna snap this shit up like crackheads fiendin' for their next fix no matter what I say. But to end this Simon Cowell-like critique with a Randy Jackson quote, "I ain't feelin' it, dawg."

Jae Millz - The Last Of The Best
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
When the hell will the east coast jump back into the Hip Hop scene? Not just claiming to bring it to bring it back, but one that can actually start a movement to put the east back into the limelight?
-
DMX - The Year of the Dog Again
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
Let me put it like this: If you've ever a) gone to the club, b) gotten drunk, c) started a fight, d) took something home, and then e) set the alarm clock for Sunday school, then you'll love this album.

Rick Ross - Port Of Miami
Album Reviewsposted 6 years ago
The six foot, 290 lb Ross is not shy about it, or about his expertise in getting, cooking, & flipping that "all white".
-
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
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?
