HipHopDX Reviews

Mac Miller - Watching Movies With The Sound Off

Album Reviewsposted 8 hours ago

"Watching Movies With The Sound Off" finds Mac Miller more focused, and showcasing an improved execution alongside a murderer's row of new school misfits.
J. Cole - Born Sinner

Album Reviewsposted 1 day ago

Improved production, cadences and subject matter add up to an improved J. Cole. But his semi-autobiographical one man show still isn't particularly dynamic.
Kanye West - Yeezus

Album Reviewsposted 2 days ago

"Yeezus" is jarring, uncomfortable, uncompromising and courageous, all the things that initially made Hip Hop great.
Problem & DJ Drama - The Separation (Mixtape Review)

Album Reviewsposted 4 days ago

While the bulk of "The Separation" keeps things interesting, Problem's biggest flaw is his unwillingness to make lyrics a significant factor in his music.
Statik Selektah - Extended Play

Album Reviewsposted 7 days ago

Statik's individual partnerships might yield more compelling full-length projects, but albums like "Extended Play" are fine platforms for a little showing off.
Prodigy & Alchemist - Albert Einstein

Album Reviewsposted 8 days ago

Sharing his first name with the famed genius, Prodigy breaks his advanced expertise down to a science on "Albert Einstein."
Jarren Benton - My Grandma's Basement

Album Reviewsposted 9 days ago

Jarren Benton has moments of success mixing shock-Rap with more traditional fare, but "My Grandma's Basement" is ultimately a thematically scattered album.
The White Mandingos - The Ghetto Is Tryna Kill Me

Album Reviewsposted 15 days ago

The "Ghetto Is Tryna Kill Me" is a challenging and informative torch-passing moment from vintage Public Enemy both sonically and in terms of subject matter.
Birdman & Rick Ross - The H [Mixtape Review]

Album Reviewsposted 20 days ago

Production on "The H" is above average, and even superior at times. The rub comes when both Birdman and Rick Ross bury themselves with unimaginative rhymes.
The-Dream - IV Play

Album Reviewsposted 22 days ago

Notwithstanding a couple musical blemishes, "IV Play" diligently continues The-Dream's tenure as one of the premier acts in R&B.
Ugly Heroes - Ugly Heroes

Album Reviewsposted 23 days ago

"Ugly Heroes" is cohesive, moving and likely aims to help listeners overcome hurdles. But, at times, it's tough to digest and may alienate more than influence.
French Montana - Excuse My French

Album Reviewsposted 29 days ago

While some of the singles from "Excuse My French" either have or will make their run in the clubs, the album is repetitive and lacks an overall direction.
Eve - Lip Lock

Album Reviewsposted 2 months ago

Lip Lock should be classified as a trial and error project that reaches beyond its means.
Logic - Young Sinatra: Welcome To Forever (Mixtape Review)

Album Reviewsposted 2 months ago

In a little over three years Logic has gone from a young lyricist with raw potential to a legitimate Rap artist with Welcome To Forever.
Hustle Gang - G.D.O.D. (Mixtape Review)

Album Reviewsposted 2 months ago

T.I. wields a strong command over Hip Hop with "G.D.O.D.," shouldering the burden for a team who would otherwise be left to their own devices.
Talib Kweli - Prisoner Of Conscious

Album Reviewsposted 2 months ago

While Kweli is still both introspective and current at times, "Prisoner Of Conscious" is ultimately too formulaic to be considered as a superior album.
