Rap Reviews
Timbaland: Tim's Bio
Everyone knows how much I love Timbaland! And I know how everyone says he can't rap, but people only say this cause his style is unique and isn't hardcore. But his rhymes still flow nicely. The beats and music he creates is incredible. He is definitely one of the best producers out right now! Every time new tsong that comes out has something new for the ears! His first LP was real good but not the best. And this LP tops the last one. My only complaint this is more of a compilation of artists and less of a solo effort. There are a few tracks where Timbaland doesn't say a sigle word (but whoever it is featuring has plenty to say ^_^) The LP features Nas, Jay-Z, Aaliyah, Missy, Magoo, Twista, Playa and a couple of new artist that are now signed to Z-Man records (Timbo's label). Don't over look this one. ***** Single Predictions: Lobster and Scrimp, Watcha Talkin Bout, put 'em on, and Fat Rabbit.
Busta Rhymes: E.L.E.
Busta Rhymes LP is still blowin' up as we speak! If you have sill haven't heard this LP take a listen to: "Tear da roof off", Iz, they gettin rowdy wit Us", What's it gonna be!??, and "This means war!". These tracks prove that Busta Bus Bus is a REAL rapper for he can rap and flow to ANY beat! If ya haven't got this album yet.....GET IT!! Even the interludes are hilarious! ^_^ +****
Fat Joe: Don Cartagena
What many people don't know is that this is Fat Joe's third LP! Its a shame that I JUST discovered him through Big Pun cause I like Fat Joe better! This LP is filled with eastcoast beats and guest appearances. When you actaully hear Joe flow you understand how he has so many powerful guest appearances on the LP. Cause these people were impressed by what they heard........and they have every right to be! The cool thing is he works with a lot of underground producers that have some great music! And I'm gald he ain't a wannbe-rapper thats hispanic. He has skillz. Just take a listen......you won't be disappointed.......+****
B.G.: Chopper City in the Ghetto
Hot Hot HOT!!!! The funny thing about this whole deal of CashMoney blowin' up, is like NO LIMIT, they have been in the business quite sometime now. Bg alone has 3 other Lps released around 92-97'. Cash Money beats are spectacular and diverse! ZLower-quality-dirty-south-music..........but very entertaining! ^_^ The music sounds like a hybrid of Timbaland and No Limit beats. But much better than NO LIMIT. Every track explodes in its own way on this LP. The only thing that keeps this LP from getting a perfect score is the lyrics. B.G. can flow but his lyrics are really raw. And while thats fine but it seems as if he never lets loose. Which means he has limits as a rapper. +****
Eve: Ruff Ryder's First Lady
Eve is tight! She can sing and she can rap. She has that street style that makes your ears perk up and listen to what's being said. And one important thing to remember she isn't afraid to say whats on her mind. "Love is Blind" says it all. She is one of the hottest rappers right now. This LP has mad guest appearance from other ruff Ryders but when Eve comes in, you are reminded that they are just the guest and she is the host! With or without the guests the Lp would still be hot. My only complaint is BUMP all those damn skits and get to the songs Eve! Anways, she will be here for many years to come. GET THE LP! *****
