Chamillionaire has just dropped a 4-disc mixtape that is apparently his last installment in the Messiah series. I haven't really enjoyed much of Cham's music in the past, but was open to the possibility that this mixtape, Mixtape Messiah 7, could convert me into a repeat listener. That was not the case with this tape. For an entirely freestyled tape it is impressive, but as far as listening goes this tape should have been brushed over with fine-tooth comb before its release. It was clearly done in a day or so. He didn't put enough effort into perfecting his verses and flow. On most tracks he had to either speed up or slow down his flow to finish his bars. Trying to fix mistakes by adjusting flow is just evidence of poor writing/bad freestyling. Another problem I have with him is that he constantly takes the flows of the original tracks he is freestyling over and does not really change the feel from the original song. He doesn’t put his own twist on the song, he seems like he is just adding a verse on it. He also tries to get on tracks that can not accommodate his flow. Many of the beats used on this just did not blend well with his bassy voice, namely the mainstream beats he used. He did a terrible job singing on a few songs. His flow usually had at least one thing wrong with it whether it be rushed, off beat, or having poor punchlines. I felt that most of the guests outshined him on the feature tracks. I only liked 5 songs off of the two discs which had fresh material: Internet Thugs Attack, Solo, Say Goodbye (minus Cham’s singing), How We Do It, and King Of Tomorrow. Denzel Washington had a terribly stupid but catchy hook and should also probably be considered a standout (mostly due to Z-Ro’s contribution and the hot beat). The remaining tracks ranged from average to mediocre for one reason or another. For having released such a large quantity of songs, this most recent mixtape has me looking for more quality over quantity in future Cham releases. Maybe I am just a born hater of Chamillionaire (because the initial reaction on the net has been all positive), but I just wasn’t feeling this, 3/5.

fresher than danzel washiington with miine 1/7
ReplyDeleteI've been a Cham fan for years but started to stray away with the lack of material and the news that he wasn't droppin is "best piece of work that he ever made" aka Venom album. Plus the fact that i've grown in the type of music i listen to, Which went from Cham, TI, cassidy, and a few H-Town artist to now only accepting more lyrical/deep artist such as Lupe, fabolous, and some underground cats. (J. Cole is currently in heavy rotation along wit Fabs album) So when i heard that Denzel track when it leaked i immediately was like GTFOH with that. But its actually better when u get past the semi lame hook. MM7 overall is ok tho. That Say Goodbye track surprised the shit outta me!! That is probably the best song on the tape. I wasnt expecting that from him. Hopefully he comes makes his mind up on an album.
ReplyDeleteu spelled disc worng hahahahha not disk
