New Reflection- Remix City Vol. 1

This remix album was done by Epik. Remixing songs like Ciara "Like a Boy" and Lloyd "You" to Common "The People" (a standout remix), this remix album is very solid. There is a song or two on this album that feature a new artist Epik produces, "Rosevelt". I think this a very good grab, as all the beats compete with the originals.

*Note- Epik originaly sold this tape for $5, but wanted it on here for free, so if you feel like dough-nating him $5, contact HIM

Waiting to Inhale

Devin the Dude- Waiting to Inhale

The first track I heard from this album was "What a Job" which made me check this album. Prior to this song i had never heard of Devin and this album wasn't what I expected. All in all, I think this album lacks in major areas. The "quality" off this album isn't professional at times......which kind of distracted me, or maybe i was listening to hard. Lyricaly, Devin didn't blow me away but his voice and style combined made me enjoy this album the firt few listens.
As far as concepts and content........the core subject of this album was females. The first track to the album "She Want the Money" is what most of the album is about. The more positive song on the album was about a female "Little Girl Gone Wild" and then he displays his hate for a female on (a beat that displays the opposite emotion) "Just Because". At times, I think Devin is purposely being comedic.........another reason why I am overall feelin this album.
I think the album was lacking in quality, lyrical content-concepts, and PRODUCTION. A very bad mix.

Overall this album gets 3 outa 5 STARS

*it wasn't the typical shit I would listen to, yet entertaining. LOL!!! (Ex: "Broccoli and Chesse" 1:46- 2:15 "atleast let me get a wiff of that 'P-oosey'") <<<COMEDY!!!! *notice the "melody" from a well known Soul song, HAHAHAHA!!!!

The Beet Tape

I KNOW I HAVE BEEN ON HIATUS STATUS...but I'M BACK!!!! School has started back up and I am settled in so i should have some good things coming for u.

This "Beet" tape is by Ha.Style, who is the other half of "enter.soul", which is OUR beat team(Ha.Style and Me [Justice]). Overall....this tape is pretty dope. A few of these samples may be familiar, but each joint was flipped in a creative way. This tape is pretty dope and would be good to throw in the ipod

Popular Demand & Pressure

Black Milk- Popular Demand

Alot of people were comparing Milk to J Dilla (they are both from Detroit) and with that comparison, I deff had to check this album out.

My expectations high, I was let down because I didn't hear what everyone else did. Not to take anything away from the album, but Black Milk's "sound" is far from Dilla's. Milk's drums bang, but I was expecting Dilla's classic mellow sound that I love Dilla for (Donuts) and minus track #4-Look at us now, there were not that many "soulful" tracks on the album. Milk mentioned on the album that he uses soul samples in his "own way". Some like to "speed it up" but I can tell he is goin for his own sound and I can respect that.

Overall, my expectations made me ignore the quality of the album. As far as beats, the album is a pretty solid one. I didn't think the lyrics were that great. There were a few tracks that had solid concepts but from the start to the end of the album I felt like Milk was trying to explain that rapers were wack, or more so that he was better. EARLY in the album he says, "when i say cabbage you know I'm talkin bout the money/ And when you say the rap (game) you talkin bout a buffet/." I enjoyed that line, but after a while, the same topic started to rub me the wrong way.

Score: 3 Outa 5 Stars

Can't Stop Won't Stop

This book is pretty dope. It's the history of hip-hop and it was released (I think) in 05-06. It's being used in colleges throughout the nation (from my understanding). I found out about the book through a professor (at U of L) and I bought it from a friend who used it in his class. A friend "B.Ware" attends Mercer in Atl, GA and said that he had used the book in a class of his. With that being said, it must be a pretty solid book for college professors to teach from it.

Can't Stop Won't Stop by Jeff Chang

Deff worth getting

Introduction: So you've NEVER "rode BITCH" ???

The Introduction:

I vividly remember my brothers saying, "You're riding Bitch," and to avoid an ASS beating, to the backseat of the car I would climb.

I am far from a hip-hop "PURIST" but I feel like rap is pulling the same stunt my brothers did. Of course, I sat in the middle saying, "Yaw two NIGGAS aint gon' keep on doin this shit." But, when we came out of the store I marched my ass right to the middle of that back seat.

With rap I find myself sitting in the middle saying "I aint gon' keep listening to the BULL SHIT they play on the radio," BUT as soon as Common's album "Finding Forever" was available for DOWNLOAD, i faithfully used my RAPID SHARE LINK (Same case with "BE"). I'm bitching about change, AT LEAST A BALANCE, in my hip-hop music, but I probably won't cough up the 10 bucks on the albums WORTH purchasing???

I haven't JUST "rode bitch" in Hip-hop or that raggedy ass Oldsmobile!!! Real talk, I ride bitch pretty much EVERYDAY. Every time I tell me my sisters that there are good guys out there, and they see me fuck with multiple females, is ME riding bitch. I ride bitch when I tell my little brother stop cussing, and he is REPEATING one of MY SONGS.

Wanting change but not trying to change it yourself is RIDING BITCH!!!
