Free Music Review: The Antidote
Hit: 4 Stars
Let's face it; for the most part, rap has ceased to be very exciting. Lil' Wayne and the like are producing very cliche grooves and rhymes that can only be described as messy and boring. (How many songs can we hear touting the amount of money a rapper makes, or how good he is in bed. It gets old.)
If you agree with what I said above - even somewhat - please check out Lyrics Born's album Every Where At Once. LB takes us back a bit to a more Old School approach to rap. Backed by a real band, his beats are fresh and extremely dripping with funk. His rhymes are thoughtful and interesting, avoiding the typical tired topics of Benjamins and ego-stroking.
And I am extrememly sad that no one was making a fuss about Lyrics Born when everyone was talking about the rhyming ability of Eminem. Of course, he can spit, but I am not sure one can hear some of the rhymes on LB's album and not put him in the same category.
I do want to warn that to those who like a more hard edged style, this album may seem a bit too pop-friendly. A few songs are admittedly cheesy. "Differences," about the differences between men and women in relationships, is a bit to airy for my tastes. And LB's excursion into dancefloor reggae - "Top Shelf" - probably will not convince many people. But there are too many songs that are simply too infectious and ingenious. And the 'skits' are hillarious.
I have finally found an rap artist that is different. I can be excited again.
Free Music Review: What a waste of $10.
Hit: 1 Stars
I really wanted to eject this CD and throw it out the window of my car but I don't litter. What a big disappointment. I agree with the reviewer about the trill R&B vocals. If they weren't on it then I might MIGHT not want to throw it out. I am going to give it to someone else so they can toss it in the trash where it belongs. I don't write reviews on this site but this album just BURNED me and forced me to do so. HORRIBLE!Free Music Review: VERY DISAPPOINTING
Hit: 1 Stars
I will make this concise. If you enjoyed Lyrics Born's style when paired with Lateef on Latyrx or even his solo ventures previous to this abysmal release, you will sadly be skipping many tracks on this album. It ventures far from his previous work and delves into the realm of commercial rap/ R&B. I have never been so disappointed by someone from Quannum. LB went pop, and should be embarassed for it.
TRUE HIP HOP HEADS STEER CLEAR... GIVE YOUR MONEY TO RHYMESAYERS OR DEF JUX!
Free Music Review: Old School feel
Hit: 5 Stars
Short & sweet, If you like Old School hip hop, this record (& artist) will impress you allot! Japanese rapper from Berkley? Heck he reminds me of artists that actually rapped. As stated in a song of his "when your lyrics actually had to rhyme"...Free Music Review: Fabulous Hip Hop Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I just love this album. The production wins me over big time, but when the lyrical flows settle in the total effect if this album is A+. Beat-seamed between tracks, the album flows together as if well thought-out. Chilling lyrics are understandable and meaningful. Between this and the new Roots I have no room left for dessert.
