Charles is unique in that he raps as well produces his own music. He mostly samples other songs to make his beats and sometimes gets criticized for doing so. I usually download his mixtapes for the simple fact that he is doing things differently. His mixtapes can range in quality, but lately I have only really liked a track or two from each because he can get carried away on some different shit. However, This Perfect Life (which has just gotten shelved), is miles better than his average mixtapes. It’s been in heavy rotation for a bout a week now. I cant get enough of it. The album is filled with strange concepts, personal honesty, and some very dynamic rapping. This album should also be evaluated from a production standpoint and from that angle it is what I always wanted from him. Charles uses his choppy sampling technique to perfection by sampling some classic tracks like Tom’s Diner. He raps tight the whole time and was dynamic throughout the album. He even showed that he can rap with an up-tempo style such as on All Alone and Baby. This album is very consistent and flows well all the way through. It definitely rejuvenated my interest in him. The standout tracks were Three Pound Bullet, Ghosts (sick sample), All Alone, Cable in the Classroom, Baby, Tears of Fire, and Rosado, 4.25/5.</p> <p>1. “Barbara Walters” - “Geronimo” by The Shadows<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH3ezF5C3k-OphPCizCz_cL7cqFAPc_VXABijkHEYwmIzNqIcqJFG6U5C8IxgQ-bxMfej-88Z0XtvuwmDGnwlL1HZYFGm1GUZ1NwiMJ-Y5h4DSag4yiMh7HPL9CJ6vraB-Toa1WeqReCQ/s1600-h/image2.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" align="right" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg095LJprfUUYXMxccCPttcRPBiDT32IJLLOV2uh8IrZ_n3GJEbgfmAsv8DXhMx_Qvx6oYdMYpkAsFerkpv72paz9jLXFE6MIkTLOh-FCPrSZX-OFCrbGprU0jzMibnvvpB-rmffMrJ9Xo/?imgmax=800" width="289" height="289" /></a> <br />2. “Three Pound Bullet” - “Street Player” by Chicago <br />3. “Ghosts” - “Tom’s Diner” by Susan Vega <br />4. “Post Lynching Ceremony” - “Persuader’s Theme” by John Barry <br />5. “All Alone” - NO SAMPLE <br />6. “Cable in the Classroom” - “To the Other Man” by Luther Ingram (originally heard in “Gobstopper” on “Donuts”) <br />7. “Baby” - “Super Sonic” by Zodiac <br />8. “Reminder” - NO SAMPLE <br />9. “Tears of Fire” - “I Come Undone” by Jennifer Rush <br />10. “Long Socks” - “The Mess We’re In” by PJ Harvey <br />11. “Rosado”- “Kiss of Life” by Sade</p> <p><a href="http://www.filefactory.com/file/a0be346/n/_This_Perfect_Life_rar">Charles Hamilton - This Perfect Life Direct Download</a></p> Bleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07548999222912253951noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552128123382894609.post-82926567551838089972009-10-08T04:16:00.001-04:002009-10-08T04:16:53.780-04:00Two 5-Stars Tracks From 2 of the Best Out<p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:b6d9ce8f-bd05-496c-9729-202ead4f38eb" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="6f3181f1-6728-4607-aafb-e3a8eebe4d9e" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqNX5Bl_vVo&hl=en&fs=1&" target="_new"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO7o6S82pdbjquzrJbcsETYTUWgy16xLDYT1fc_0IF3yPnOQv6HfXpkZviZfbVteyk7TpIOY6_v-FVPiPM1idBIFrZezXcXcM2xS96ORhxbbAKW7qkS8J_mLQj5c_m45o__80JB4rt60w/?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('6f3181f1-6728-4607-aafb-e3a8eebe4d9e'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/OqNX5Bl_vVo&hl=en&fs=1&&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/OqNX5Bl_vVo&hl=en&fs=1&&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> </p> <p>Wake up bitches, Wiz Khalifa is fire.

I always sort of liked his shit but couldn't really get into him. However for some reason his latest mixtape, Bad, won me over. I don’t think it is even official tape (it is just a DJ collection), but I am definitely feeling his shit now. He is doing his thing rapping about real street shit and I believe him. His style is unlike anybody else in rap. If you have never given him a chance, check these tracks out and let me know if they are as good as I think they are. Lookout for the review of Bad coming soon.</p> <p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:e8dad3dc-8783-4781-9929-641ad13472d4" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="19b0c32c-fd4e-479b-b4ab-3f6cda645ce7" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMyFsfohDW8&hl=en&fs=1&" target="_new"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYc1SDCsDBHVx0JSwJynKRIWsXxgylYI_xnCvpY8raV8_ycMNK2vEC8fL1rH2Mz55UvAS3Ci6a05wl7wHsfWw8feNJU9jb3V2bGgSt8rJ2Flv7v7ivnCKt1AsOyn-IwUUpqqwnjcoSl8/?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('19b0c32c-fd4e-479b-b4ab-3f6cda645ce7'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/iMyFsfohDW8&hl=en&fs=1&&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/iMyFsfohDW8&hl=en&fs=1&&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> </p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:507e9fa1-5512-4039-9f8f-439156cd3738" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="eacd1370-2921-485c-a3ae-24a36c2f7d81" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oAwNErhkx4&hl=en&fs=1&" target="_new"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA6axVpkGaquPjMWd78X5xKXDryKuKjG75BLEFpH6BpdPwBVRS3te7HXQUX5ofiq7t1x3Zct-S7UfkC_rYs8J2fCO_uE6to6wqY9Zk0pLf4KtcM6ou2EF-YFTTnxCXEz_iuqESfj0Ncls/?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('eacd1370-2921-485c-a3ae-24a36c2f7d81'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "<div><object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_oAwNErhkx4&hl=en&fs=1&&hl=en\"><\/param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_oAwNErhkx4&hl=en&fs=1&&hl=en\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt=""></a></div></div></div> Bleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07548999222912253951noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552128123382894609.post-18010541587887164762009-08-31T15:15:00.004-04:002009-08-31T15:22:08.008-04:00Drake is easily manufactured?<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC5aYGdt-KCeDeKZyJZTnwq3gb9eKXwMDaJ1_Vq7WjcTLBX91QWc1PteG1nI0Yuq1R6_cPBZDMsMHAnnFSPcY_jJYQrct0S6vKKsPFyPemFkG9kAuDT-N5ONt4U5b0Wya0kYjbeAZPdcM/s1600-h/image%5B3%5D.png"><img title="image" style="border: 0px none ; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM5ywBNkwXY2Yc2KWAoOXSh3PT6JwdIWul4yleu2G8u_OGApJse5xA1zJuCog9EMuaM_TnmC16vzVBnEXCtHHd9HuSYbhyiN4tVnXd6GijvvCPCDy3zva5-zDFeylqqjDeS5bnpjkqX9U/?imgmax=800" align="right" border="0" height="252" width="330" /></a> </p> <p><strong>Eddie Huang’s (of Hip Hop DX) </strong>opinion is that Drake is not a good representation of Hip Hop because he isn’t like Kanye; he is easily copied. He certainly brings in the pre-teen bitches aka the experts on quality hip hop. Still, I wouldn’t want to be on stage copying this.

Freestyling off a Blackberry or not, he can sing and rap. I bump his shit even when my lady isn’t around. I don’t need serious/meaningful hip hop lyrics all the time.

They really fucked up on this one. This album was definitely sick. I don’t know much about Kaz-well but I do know he knows how to make a great concept album. He is from the Bay area but doesn’t show any characteristics of Bay Area music that I am familiar with. Yes Fish Outta Water has the same title as the recently released Chali 2Na album, but who gives a fuck. They were released a week apart.  Actually, it looks like this came out first but the original release date for Chali was June 23, 2009 (pushed back to July 7), one week after Kaz-well’s release. This was obviously a coincidence and will have no affect on this review.</p> <p>Album Review:</p> <p>Kaz-well seems like a somewhat amateur rap artist who put his all in to produce the best album he could. His lyrics are crafted perfectly to match the 80’s inspired beats provided by DJ Scotty Doo. This album is inventive in so many ways, but does have its low points, mostly due to the apparent inexperience of Kaz. This album comes together as a spiritual, emotional rollercoaster ride. The album begins with his description of his development as an artist stemming as early as infancy. Kaz then shows us he is more than just a stereotypical rapper: first he gives us a motivational track, Whisper of the Gods and follows it up by telling listeners tales of how he  shines with his artistry as opposed to showing off material possessions on Take Me Home. His “back in the days” track, Three Words, takes listeners to his teenage days of puppy love and heartache as listeners witness Kaz getting left by his schoolyard girlfriend. This was probably my favorite just because it is so relatable, not to mention well produced. Kaz touches on so many different subjects on album it is overwhelming. He isn't afraid to get spiritual on here as well. On the track The Beach he is trying to find his definition paradise (heaven, I guess). This type of subject exploration will most likely limit his acceptance in the rap world. Accepted or not this album is thought provoking, original, smooth, and positively inclined. Aside from some noticeable flaws in Kaz-well’s rap delivery the album is near perfect in my eyes. There is no point in breaking this album down track by track, it is a purely conceptual album that is done in such a way that you feel as if Kaz has taken you just where he wants you to go: on a trippy ride though time and a mystical walk in the clouds, 4.5/5. Are you ready for it?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF66N76FfXCxdsmlX-4tpzI48Sg_OEluDELEAQZZ7GCMafZ8QW0_wZS-rfGz-8Jwt6ABe3wTgAP_Vur__CCEVfQ-YwUVD-rz0mpn8hKXTnNMKuUjFJVXHZNydqaN7LQuSEvmW7x91FQYk/s1600-h/image%5B3%5D.png"><img title="image" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="259" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwQCNomlKqNPGSpStBouOcDjgg7W5nGhLd8pZUuM-4Zb4NgBsjxYKmXsckO6AxfVgxzdzbD3zhTEz0ZKuXcoiYS4gO5VfvtGIeynRGxGl9J-RhBrz4pXiGJaHJ3CsPcoRZvx2VoXzGA2s/?imgmax=800" width="259" align="right" border="0" /></a></p> <p>01.

He has what he describes on the track Galaxy as a “mild tone’ flow and it doesn't change much from song to song; you either like him a lot or you don’t like him at all. He has a lot of fans who all feel he is the best in the game. So, when I first heard him I had my expectations built up to hear some ridiculously different shit from the dude. However, on my first listen I didn't immediately feel him and brushed it off as misguided respect. I thought he had a really average flow, but once I figured out his style was more of a laid-back lyricism, I started to let him in to the Ipod. He has put out a bunch of mixtapes most of which are solid hip hop gems. Once you get past his low key style you really start to like the dude. He is a quiet, mellow rapper with a lot of intelligent lines that you may miss on initial judgments. </p> <p>Album Review:</p> <p>Curren$y’s freshman album, This Ain’t No Mixtape, probably shouldn't even be considered an album. It is exactly like his mixtapes and has no new concepts at all, just slightly improved beats. Still, true Spitta fans have jumped at the chance to purchase his album after having been leaked 7 mixtapes for free. Curren$y’s problem on some tracks is that he will get noticeably lazy with his flow at some points during verses.  Common subjects in his raps are: hitting groupie girls that he gets from rap stardom and also how much better he is than the rest of the rap industry. I feel he is not any different from many other artists in terms of content, but his style and blatant authenticity repackage the common occurring themes into a whole new rap offering. Re-gifting is acceptable in this case. He is very relatable because you can feel he is actually living what he's talking. I think there are a lot of rap fans who are like me and have not figured out what is so good about the dude. My advice for you is: play it over and over, it gets better with every listen OR just simply light up and smoke to it. The best track on here was Food For Thought, it was hot in all aspects: lyrics, beat, and hook. The other hot tracks on this album are: Blown Away, Scared Of Monstas, Elevator Musik, On My Plane, Sail On, Power Button, Food 4 Thought, Galaxy. Although there is nothing out of the ordinary on this release it is more of the same consistent intelligent laid back lyrics fans expect from Curren$y laid over unique smooth hip hop beats, 3.9/5.</p> <p>01 - The briefing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVz8te_rJlKMYlHr5t3k9rladT-AJNuRPlmrJmN7prtC3hXGrr7gYRFjIWxruICEw5uWJQMJG8YK-xq6YkNLO-VNxqBGzS0KtztnOvkgaeEeQqjY5xnxxS33X7yY_50WBuZ51Zxc4WzcA/s1600-h/image%5B3%5D.png"><img title="image" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="321" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2FgD17_MWsN9GlWrkxDMrTcxXhjIRNciE1QVRZsxcU2PJrUjdUi5LPKh_KAwCw9pmTVsMkY8z21HROiWaGFmlq6ZOMTKfokQO_l0ENNwiyOAFFLHaEzIDt2V31_fQBKKqakIquVZUI0/?imgmax=800" width="322" align="right" border="0" /></a> <br />02 - Get it ya self (feat.

He is from Dallas and has some Texas swag. This album, Dorrough Music, is nothing serious; it is just a light and fun album that will bump in the system. His lyrics are mind numbingly simple, but are not terrible. According to his song A Whole Lotta he is 'new school hip hop.' I would have to agree (sadly). His upfront and dumbed down style is actually likable at times. He has some banging beats (some of which sound like I may have heard before). He is usually rapping about cars, bitches, and hustling. There are no terrible cuts on here but there are a lot of average and non-distinct southern rap tunes. However, he has a some banging singles that have a bit originality to them in terms of delivery and flow. This wasn't a terrible album but it leaves me wanting more consistent originality and more content. The cuts that bang were Boy I Grind, Ice Cream Paint Job, Piece And Chain Swangin, This Time You Was Wrong, Walk That Walk (familiar sounding beat though), and Wired To The T, and Trunk Bang. The remaining tracks we're mediocre and forgettable, 3.25/5.</p> <p>01.

There is no exclusive content here, but no one seems to be noticing. Nonetheless it is a banging mix of various Wu verses some of which didn't get the original bump-age they deserved. It plays like new material and all fits well together. There is not much else to say here, most of these verses  were parts of great songs before the blends.

He is holding down Mobb while Prodigy is in jail. I haven't really been into Mobb Deep since Shook Ones days and became even less a fan when they signed to G-Unit. However, this new Havoc tape, From Now On, goes hard. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The production was good and most of the beats were banging for East Coast production. As far as lyrics go Havoc doesn't let down as he supplies his quality street knowledge on wax.  However, he sometimes uses a monotonic delivery which can make him sound boring on some tracks. You can tell when he is feeling tracks because he abandons that lazy flow. The most personal and deep track on here that stood out the most to me is, Always Have A Choice. The banging beat mixed with Havoc’s signature rhyme style match perfectly. You can tell he worked hard to drop real content that actually meant something. This was an altogether tight tape for Havoc despite a few mediocre tracks. He has definitely begun to regain my respect. The standouts that are exclusive to this tape were Bang Bang, Handle My Handle, H Is Back, Fly With Me, Always Have A Choice, You Take Her, and Sex Tape, 3.75/5.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq0ce4FE6wcyiWBcWf7edm4aUAnRtTcm_IUfElgtkgU7YIkeD6IDXasj54OW9GgL_eoVff7ZJcW38mq9LbFcailwrjDd_ZvHfafEDWB4KW5AuO7ciqth_zg4ihygAAwqbkYSnBHbofh_w/s1600-h/image14.png"><img title="image" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="257" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD69TORBCMLY9LqseOAaqSyCm9kXYkd3-d64_EDQvFhY70Dl1PJ7dqhdD0djTGhXYAdlnQTKYugyr-nirldN4mY7WEY3jffTsPoODXFGnBQuUA5vMxdcVC0q5irVsD6L-8OfjFWqLogqo/?imgmax=800" width="395" align="right" border="0" /></a>1 - Smells Like 9/5 <br />2 - What’s That Smell? <br />3 - Bang Bang ft.

I am really digging his style. He keeps it gangster, but brings his own unique flavor to his music. His flow is usually dynamic and he can adapt to any beat he is given. On this mixtape, Follow Me, he deals with subjects of betrayal, enemies, and other elements of living the gangster lifestyle. Although these subjects have been beaten to death since the beginning of hip hop, Trav puts his own swag and style into his rhymes as to repackage the deal in a seemingly new way. He is on the come up and has no shortage of originality or talent. We will definitely be looking into his next tapes. The standouts were Is Everything Ok Pt. 1, Suit and Tie, Ride The Wave (old), My Bitch, No Bright Days, and Know. This was good tape from him, but packed with less bangers and more average tracks than his first tape, 3.5/5.</p> <p>01 No Bright Days <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTLrAWtPZ7LYMaQOwyzPU3dm6MA62FQ4B3iikRx8mNUbXsbTuTqRpKDLK0gIyQ-YSLxsfy0bLm_R50-hJxMc44irnsrBNcG_P8nEjeTOu7ePQvPGTRq1DNEYZyHabK9cmupZGrUa4cms/s1600-h/Trav%20-%20FM%5B6%5D.jpg"><img title="Trav - FM" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="260" alt="Trav - FM" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDi2FoJjNlZ1mMcahtxDIysyHh-dmmeGEh4gjxjALT-kT7B4ct0s2Cowdsg7O17EDEbpCfnbXEhAxCTeFkGrMJT3clRorEY-nNagjEr2j9j70Lvnj3u9hpZiJQA9DdHmYHCCJDpei7E74/?imgmax=800" width="260" align="right" border="0" /></a> <br />02 Know <br />03 Follow Me <br />04 Is Everything Ok Pt. 1 <br />05 Stay On The Low <br />06 Suit & Tie Ft.

He has been around for quite a few year gaining underground buzz by solely releasing mixtapes. Back in 2007, he was really gaining popularity within the NY street scene. He was on point with everything. He was as versatile as any artist could be. When you listened to his shit it made you want to pick up your pen and start writing rhymes (even if you were like me and had zero talent). In other words he was a true lyricist. He could spit in every style, outshine anyone, and send chills down your spine with his complex and yet down to earth street lyrics. Not only was he streetwise, but you could usually find some positive and powerful message lingering behind his music. Even if you re-listen to his old shit that you may have heard over and over (ANY of his first 14 mixtapes), you will still hear a line or two that makes you go HO-LY SHIT! His beats have never really been perfect, but he used to make them work. However, beats didn't matter much especially on his first few tapes. It was all lyricism; raw and uncut. There was a while in his career, before the deal with Jive, where his music would knock me out of my seat. Then … he got signed and down came the waterfall to water down every verse. It wasn't immediate though, it was more linear. Either way, up until early-mid 2009 I just couldn’t stand listening to him anymore.</p> <p>Mixtape Review:</p> <p>For an entire year between 2008-2009 most of Papoose’s tracks were sloppily written, poorly executed, missing any previous originality they may have had. It was only in the beginning of this year that he started to comeback to his old self. This new mixtape (#22), Military Grind, shows about 40% of what he is capable of. The hottest tracks on here that represent what Pap is really about as far as lyrics and flow are: Knock Em Down (so sick), Pay Homage, Will To Survive, So Much More, Show & Prove, Power Cipher, B.E.T Freestyle, TKO, and Amnesia. The rest of this 24 track mixtape ranged from mediocre to terrible, 2.75/5. I am still trying to find some way to burn Swaggaction out my memory. It hasn’t worked yet. To prevent you from wanting to chuck your ipod at the wall while listening to the bad tracks, I just took them out and left the standouts. For this version click the second (Trimmed) link.</p> <p>01.

I have a theory however that Wayne only wants Bow Wow because he's small enough to fit in Drake's Louis Vuitton handbag. The best part is, if Drake ever falls on stage, Bow Wow can hop out of the bag and break his fall. It's a brilliant strategy. Lets wait and see how it plays out for them.<br /><a href="http://www.sohh.com/2009/08/bow_wow_signs_w_lil_wayne.html">More at SOHH.</a>Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08906110929455325225noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552128123382894609.post-84503013280256614902009-08-17T01:47:00.011-04:002009-08-17T02:25:02.550-04:00Average MixtapesDidn't really feel like reviewing these.

You might have noticed we reviewed his second mixtape <a href="http://www.lyricsfirst.net/2009/07/nifty-come-up-mixtape-review.html"><em>The Come Up</em></a> first so make sure to read that. This mixtape is just as good as his second but I think Nifty is still trying to find his own style on this. He has that unique sound on The Come Up but you only get glimpses of it on <em>Da Capitol Movement. </em>His flow is still amazing just not as refined. Since he is still trying to find his style there aren’t too many songs that stand out as singles. Don’t get me wrong though, all the songs are good. I’ve listened to it a couple of times and I’ve never had to skip a track. If you are a Nifty fan you have to download this, and try to listen to it before <em>The Come Up</em>, so you can see the progression. <br /><br />4.25/5</p> <p>1.

I was worried that since he has been releasing a lot of material lately that this might be watered down a bit. This was not the case. The album was jam packed with concepts and substance. He is sticking with the insanity theme just like on Padded Room (reviewed by us <a href="http://www.lyricsfirst.net/2009/07/joe-budden-padded-room-album-review.html">HERE</a>). Joey gets real personal on this new album and it works well. He is trying to mature as an artist and it shows. He touches on a variety of subjects that are relevant to his life such as how he: can't change the world on the World Keep Spinnin’, has made a lot of mistakes and is only human on Forgive Me, can never satisfy everybody on Good Enough, feels like he can’t be himself on Clothes On A Mannequin. His rhymes are introspective and give listeners deep insight into the thoughts and fears from within the mind of Joe Budden. His delivery is very fresh on here and it switches up a lot. It it clear that his “teeth clenched” flow works well on deeper beats but he can become a bit boring on less exciting or smoother beats such as those on the collabos with Young Chris and Wale. As far as the Slaughterhouse track, it hits you hard and leaves you wondering what fuck they are going to come with next. They all switch it up every new track that they release and the result is usually sick, as it was here. The Standouts were Anti, World Keep Spinnin’, Forgive Me, State of You, Good Enough, We Outta Here, and Clothes On A Mannequin. This album was content rich, but had a few mediocre tracks that prevent it from surpassing Padded Room, 4/5.</p> <p>01.

I only recently warmed up to Curren$y after hearing his latest mixtape before this. He is kind of an acquired taste. Wiz Khalifa was one of those artists you immediately love or don’t care for, I am the former.  He has a very noticeable rap presence and an easy going rap style that fits in well with Curren$y. One downside to Wiz may be that he sounds a lot like Wale, but not enough to say that he is biting; there is a just a resemblance. This whole How Fly mixtape, as you can tell by the cover, is all about chilling out and smoking weed. There are no deep messages to be found, there are just two chill dudes making that laid back rap you can smoke to. One complaint about this would be that they both sound like they are in front of the beats rather than between them and their verses tend to drown out the beats. It is more of a sound problem. Some of the production could have been better on this as well. However most of the beats are smooth rap beats and fit in well with both artists. I feel like Curren$y lacked in the charisma and flow department at times. There were also a few weak and a few mediocre tracks. Don’t take this tape too seriously, it is fun, light music about macking chicks and smoking herb.The tape lived up to my expectations and came out to be a nice tape overall, minus the weak points. The standouts were Car Service, The Check Point, Layover, Friendly, The Life, Over The Building, and Rolling Up (my favorite), 3.75/5.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSHpZKvXrKx2qvDGjEAX-nKHwNN7soEpFRuBL_B1OC6IK5ygh5LlKN777y6fc6u7kjU2pm844x2pKcEZkNqJr3uC69mEsMirBHa3ubqQX8agcs0puwD4I0QN2M18xIQ3CmiDWk0OUG7vA/s1600-h/CurrenyandWizKhalifaWF3.jpg"><img title="Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa - WF" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="329" alt="Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa - WF" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw4Ev9W4sr2u5tISrn_mOnTKvpa7ZSSxUcKVN184_-vloTMKhmLrpRwNNEx2luabNEqdTjlq8g3kRVsJvFlZD_WYmf9v7tE_0KNXCqVyhYrrz3RMRayawjhQP_7F93L39WdxmxTIJLMJ8/?imgmax=800" width="329" align="right" border="0" /></a></p> <p></p> <p>01.

Freeway just put out two full discs of nothing but greatness. Read the tracklist and note the number of features. There are 5. That means there are 44 x 3 – 5 verses on here, give or take a couple. And guess what? There isn’t a single bad song on here, nor is there a single annoying interlude. This could of been 2 full hot ass albums but Free wants you to have it for Free. The mixtape is about his life (which you should have guessed from the title) but there’s a lot of content here that goes beyond typical gangster rap. Freeway has a great flow, but the way he can make even the weakest rhyme sound good is incredible. I can’t remember every line because I’m reviewing off of one play-through but I know there aren’t any that stood out and broke my immersion. Free changes his style and adapts to the beat with ease. The production fit him perfectly and the choruses were all good. There isn’t a single thing about this mixtape that I didn’t like. Only negative thing I can say is that he probably wont get radio play with this, but he definitely deserves it. Oh and Lloyd Banks was incredible on Reperation. <br /> <br />5/5 </p> <p> <br /><strong>Underlined tracks stood out a little more to me, for no specific reason.</strong> <br /> <br />DISC 1: <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368894864956106850" style="display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 10px; width: 400px; cursor: pointer; height: 400px; text-align: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_utOBKEx62Gg/SoIlbx4gqGI/AAAAAAAAAMo/uPI1y9I_U_I/s400/thisismylife.jpg" align="right" border="0" /> <br />1.
