Immortal Technique's right hand man Poison Pen has come out with another album, The Money Shot. You can tell by the title that Poison Pen isn't holding anything back as far as content. However, his rapping skills are average, as are his concepts. His delivery is also average. What sets him apart is his voice. His unique rap delivery often has him extending the accent and drawing out annunciation of words. It effectively gives him a signature sound but gets old fast. It is certainly captivating on tracks he is featured on but not for an entire album. The production was average on this but had its highs and lows. This album was not meant to be anything more than a walk through Bed-Stuy, NY guided by Poison. As far as guests on this, I am not sure why he raps with Immortal Technique. They do not share any of the same content and contrast each other pretty badly. This is noticeable on The 2nd Amendment; the track was sick but Poison did not belong on it. The only standout track from Poison was Bk's Fat Boy . I guess Wtp can also be considered a standout because I enjoyed the concept and found it catchy and entertaining. The rest of the songs were average with a few mediocre singles thrown in for good measure, 3/5.
