Killah Priest-Priesthood (Review by Todd D.)


1. Intro (Blackball Me)
        -This opening song talks about how people have tried to put down Priest. The vocals are deeper than Priest's usual voice.  7.5/10
2. Madness
        -Priest talks about all the crazy things that go on around him. The song has good beats.  8.5/10
3. My Hood
        -Priest describes what it's like in his hood. The beat is about average, but the guest vocals by Amber Alexis help the song out.  7.5/10
4. Horsemen Talk
        -This song includes the other members of the horsemen including Kurupt, Ras Kass, and Canibus. The beats are weak, and no one really stands out in this song.  7/10
5. Come Wit Me
        -This song features Geroge Clinton. The beats are tight. Clinton's voice adds to the quality of the song. His voice has an eerie type of feel to it.  9/10
6. Royal Priesthood
        -I get tired of rappers saying ugh. This song has a blandness to it. I couldn't really get into the song.  7.5/10
7. Crime Stories-Interlude
        -This is a very short song. It's too bad, because the beats were good.  8/10
8. Witness the King
        -This song flows well, and it's easy to feel the song. 8.5/10
9. Heat of the Moment
        -Starts out with a biblical type interlude similar to ones that are on Heavy Mental. The chorus is smooth.  8/10
10. CU When I Get There
        -This song has a soul flavor to it. The beats are good and I like the vocals by Ty-N.  8/10
11. The One
        -Another good song featuring George Clinton. The beats are tight, and Clinton's voice takes you into a trance like euphoria.  9/10
12. Thug Revelation
        -This song features the Maccabees who are pretty tight. Also, the chorus by the Daughters of Zion are pretty good.  8/10
13. My Life
        -The beats are all right. Priest saying my life can get repetitive though.  7.5/10
14. Places Where Pharoahs Go-Interlude
        -Similar to the song heavy mental from his first album. Talks about his mind's thoughts.  6.5/10
15. The Law
        -Tje lyrics are tight in this song. That deep voice in the chorus hinders the song though.  8/10
16. Theme Song
        -This slower paced song has a good flow. It's a good conclusion to the album.  8/10
 

 Overall, I give this album an 8/10. Priesthood is better than View From Masada, but Killah Priest's classic is still Heavy Mental.
