Today one of my fellow workers let me borrow:





I'll probabbly post reviews in a few days after I digest them all.[/list]

I've been through the new Snoop..

He's got some nice beats..but the rhyming on most of the songs isn't all that.

I was really dissapointed in the much hyped "Vato" w/ B Real.

I'll give a more in depth review later on though...

crap
crap
crap

you should definitely buy the new X-Clan album when it comes out on tuesday. it's very good.

I liked his rhyme style and vocals but... was never a "fan."

ohh and as far as teh crap crap crap goes

Lil Scrappy on a quick listen through is around 2.25/5
Snoop on a quick listen through 2.5/5

Haven't really worked through the Jay Z yet.

he broke up with Polo in like 1994. He's doing an EP with DJ premier.

This is a short story Short review

I really like a lot of the beats on this cd but the rapping on here is straight grabage.

What is really dissapointing is Snoop showed us a lot of potential on "Doggystyle" w/ beats and rhymes in bunches + "Deep Cover" around the same time but after that I dare say he has had 1-2 good songs on each cd since then.

IF you took all his best material post-Doggystyle you could make one GREAT CD that I'd actually pay for.

2.25/5 Stars..buyable if a Snoop fan..but if just a rap fan I'd pass unless you need some beats.

some early thoughts on lil scrappy

same 'ol same 'ol

He's got some nice beats and some OK rap skillZ but if I listened to diRRty south aka crunk rap a lot more than I do I wouldn't find him terribly original

Also BOO the poor cover/homage to "Gangster, Gangster" by NWA.

Color me UNimpressed by a large margin for come back cd from one of the better MCs out there based on catalog.

I guess I shoulda figured if the first video has Dale Jr and Danica Patrick.

I can't even find a a song I'd lsiten to over and over again.

i thought "minority report" was awesome and everything else was crap to mediocre.

Have you listened to "hip hop is dead" yet?

That's the new Nas right? ... NOPE.

Not that I don't think he's taneted or what not ..but I jsut don't get into him.

Ohh BTW is DJ Premeire still working w/ Guru of their Gangstar fame? I really liked A Daily Operation but found Hard to Earn lacking. Except for "Dwyck".

***************

Heard anything about a new Cypress Hill CD?

nas is the GOAT.

Premo hasn't worked with Guru in years. I'm actually not a big fan of daily operation, but i love moment of truth, it's one of my favorite albums ever.

Nah, no new cypress hill.

Moment of Truth was a fantastic album. The song "work" is on there right? That's the best Gangstarr song by far IMO. Guru's Jazzmattazz ablums were sweet too.

yeah, work is a crazy song. Moment of Truth is when Premo started using orchestral loops in his beats. Actually i think he started on "the sun rises in the east"

Jeru the Damaja? If you like him, you'll dig his protege Afu Ra. Premeir produced his first album. The second one was lackluster, forget the names though.
