I know

 

[Ebonix]

I've got most of Del The Funky Homosapien's Stuff. I downloaded it all when I first heard his song on Tony Hawk's 2. Hes pretty damn good

 

[::shinji::]

currently my fave underground album!

 

[Gerrard 17]

Yeah, that song you posted is really good... I gotta get my hands on it

I wish there were some stores around me that sold underground hip hop albums.... I have to download all of that ****, if I had access I'd probably buy some of it since these guys make good music and need the support.

Yep one of the best of all-time.

Kader, try Canibus-Mic Club(better than RTJ imo).

I'll post more albums later after I get home.

OK, this is my review...

The CD lacks something. I can't put my finger on it, it's lacking something that Devil's Night had. Just the overall atmosphere of the album. There's 17 songs (+4 skits), and most of them sound very much alike. Similar beats, and all hooks sang by Eminem sound the same. The singles My Band and 40 Oz. don't match Purple Pills and Fight Music from the previous album. I'm not even gonna say anything about My Band. 40 Oz. is a party song... that's the only place it will work, but it doesn't take much to make ag good party song. Keep Talking and 6 In The Morning would be my favorite songs on this album, except that they've been out already for months.

The beat on D12 World (the song) is very characteristic for Kanye West, but I wouldn't call it good. I expected more, it sounds like a College Dropout reject. Hi-Tek made the beat for How Come. I'm used to Hi-Tek making better beats, but it's good.

Good Die Young- best song on the album. It's a tribute to the deceased member, Bugz. This song has the right atmosphere I was talking about in the beginning... Ironically, Eminem is not on this track. Beat produced by Kon Artis.

American Psycho II is really good too. Catchy hook by B-Real.

Just Like U and U R The One - don't fit here. I don't know what they're doing on this album. When I saw those titles, I thought they'd be Murda INC disses (dissing Ja Rules RnB love songs or whatever)... seriously, "U R The One" what the ****? >U R< that's like from 1998.

I expected more from Eminem on this album. Swifty and Proof sound really good. Bizarre- if it weren't for the pact they had made way in the past, I don't think he'd be even part of the group. His rhymes and flow are weak.

Overall 5/10. There's 21 tracks on this album, but it could be easily cut down to 10 or 12. If you can get it cheap/free it's worth just for the few good tracks.




wow, this turned out long....

I agree it's not way near as good as the first album, but i knew it wouldnt be before i bought it. I liked atleast 15 songs on the first album, i only like 4 or 5 on the new one, in order ill put the best 5 songs on the album:

1) Loyalty
2) Git up
3) B!tch
4) 6 in the morning
5) How come

BTW i HATE My band with a passion, ths tune sounds like MIDI music. Very commercial. But Eminem is smart he knows the 13 year old white boys will buy it by releasing crap like that,atleast the album don't have crap like that. No way near as good as Devil's night. Best D12 song ever is "That's How..."

Album rating: 4/10

 

[Parra Power]

aye.... my cousin brought it over and i had a listen.... pretty poor compared to devils night :kader

 

[celtic_bhoy]

my band is a bad rap/hip hop track but i agree with spurs, em was smart, pop/young american whities will gooble the track up and by the album and when it comes down to it its about album sales, and it is a worse album but i think it will sell heaps more copies than devils night, which is a shame

Check out the song performed by Talib Kweli on Chappelle last night called Around My Way.

Reccomended song of the day:

Talib Kweli-Guerilla Monsoon Rap(feat. Black Thought,Pharoahe Monch)

Isn't it On My Way? Or am I thinking of a different track?

 

[::Jason::]

Dilated Peoples - Neighborhood Watch -album is an impressive combination of turntablism, good production and the typical elements of rap/hiphop music.

World on Wheels is a great track on that album.

On what track was the beat on the new Redman mixtape 'Ill at Will Mixtape Vol.1 '. The song on that mixtape is named Brick Intensions. It might've been something dre produced, but I can't be sure.

The one that I got off IRC is called "Around My Way".

Maybe when the album gets released it will be called something different.

I burned a CD a few days ago, listenin to it now... i just thought i'd post this song:

Dead Prez - Mind Sex

Get that song... it's tight... slow, nice beat, cool to kickback and do nothing. Even if you're not in love, the overal tone of the song is just... soothing


It's time for some mind sex, we ain't got to take our clothes off yet
We can burn the incense, and just chat
Relax, I got the good vibrations
Before we make love let's have a good conversation

Pardon me love but you seem like my type
What you doin tonight? you should stop by the site
We could, roll some weed play some records and talk
I got a fly spot downtown Brooklyn, New York
Now I know you think I wanna ****, no doubt
but tonight we'll try a different route, how bout we start
With a salad, a fresh bed of lettuce with croutons
Later we can play a game of chess on the futon
See i ain't got to get in your blouse
It's your eye contact, that be getting me aroused
When you show me your mind, it make me wanna show you mines
Reflecting my light, when it shines, just takin our time
Before the night's through, we could get physical too
I ain't tryin to say I don't wanna ****, cause I do
But for me boo, makin love is just as much mental
I like to know what I'm gettin into

This track from the RBG album by Dead Prez is ****in hard.
Dead Prez - Hell Yeah(Pimp The System)

Sittin' in the living room on the flo' hung on pain
got me on some migrain **** but I'ma maintain
Nigga got two or three dollars to my name
and my homies in the same boat goin' through the same thing
ready for a cape, steady plottin' for the paper
we been livin' in the dark since April
on the candle, gotta get a handle
my homie got a 25 automatic added to the gamble
nigga get the phone book look up in the yellow page
lemme tell you how we gonna get paid
we gon' order pizza, when we see the driver
we gon' stick the 25 up in his face
steppin' outside like warriors and to the notorious southside

one weapon to the four of us, hidin' in the corridors
til' we see the Dominoes car headlights
white boy in the wrong place at the right time
soon as the car door open up he mine
we roll up quick and put the pistol to his rolls
by the look on his face he probly ****ed in his clothes
you know what this is st-stick up
hittin' the dog from the neck up
you ran into the wrong niggas
we runnin down the block hot with these pizza boxes
so we split up and met back at the appartment

Hell Yeah
yo ain't you hungry my nigga
hell yeah
you wann get paid my nigga
hell yeah
ain't you tired of starvin' my nigga
hell yeah, hell yeah

I know a way we can get paid
you can get down but you can't be afraid
let's go to the DMV and get a ID
the name says you but the face says me
now it's yo' turn take my paperwork
like 1,2,3 let's make it work
then fill out out the credit card application
then it's gonna be about three weeks of waitin'
for American Express dicovers the card
Platinum Visa Mastercard
cuz when we was boothed and **** then we was targets
now we just walk right up and say charge it
to the game we rockin' brand names
well known at the 'partment store chains
even got the boys in the crew a few thangs
popo never know who to true blame
store after store ya' know we kept rollin'
wait two weeks report the car stolen
repeat the cycle like a laundrymat
like a glitch in the system thats hard to catch
comin' out the mall, with them shopping bags
so we can take 'em right back and get the cash
yeah, get a friend and do it again
damn right that's how we pay the rent

Down to get this paper
I'm down for the caper, we steady on the grind
It's a daily struggle
We all gotta hustle, this is the way we survive


I kmow a caper
we can get some government paper
ya' know food stamps, can we really do that
hell yeah right there for the takin'
**** welfare we say reparations
Ya' know the grind
get up early get on the line and just wait
everybody on break
that's part of the game and when they call your name
Miss caseworker lemme state my claim
I'm homeless, jobless, time is hard
about hopeless, but I gotta eat regardless
no family to run to I'm 22
now tell me what the **** am I supposed to do
my sad story made her feel close to me
I made her feel like it was in emergency
and when I came to the crib niggas couldn't believe
I came back with a big bag of groceries

Every job I had I had to get
on the first day I found out how to pimp the system
two steps ahead of the manager
gettin' over on the regular tax-free money out the register

and when I'm workin' late night stockin boxes
I'm creepin' their merchandises
And don't put me on dishes I'm droppin' them bitches
and takin' all day just to mop the kitchen
****, we ain't gettin paid commision, minimum wage
modern day slave conditions
got me flippin' burgers with no power
and can't even buy on off what I make in an hour
I'm not one to kiss ass for the top position
I take mine off the top like a politician
where I'm from doin' dirt is a part of livin'
I got mouths to feed do I gotsa' get it

Hell Yeah
You down to roll my nigga
Hell Yeah
You ready to get your hands dirty my nigga
Hell Yeah
Your mama need money and thangs my nigga
Hell Yeah, Hell Yeah

If you claimin' gansta
Then bang on the system, and show that you ready to ride
Til' we get our freedom
We got to get over, we steady on the grind
