King One Kind FavorBig Boi Sir Lucious Left FootGreatness is acheived many times on here. I can barely count the times where the album doesn't sound great (only "Theme Song", even then that's good), and ultimately the consistency of this big hip hop funk jam makes it the perfect summer album. "Shine Blockas", "Shutterbug", and "Fo Yo Sorrows" are such obvious highlights, but the rest of the songs are great too. Listen to "Shine Blockas (Remix)" to hear Bun B and Project Pat on the track as well.Biz Markie Goin' OffCap'n Jazz AnalphabetapolothologyCee Lo Green Cee-Lo Green Is The Soul MachineChamillionaire Ultimate VictoryCharles Mingus Mingus Ah UmCircle Takes the Square As the Roots UndoClipse Hell Hath No FuryCommon Like Water for ChocolateCommon BeCount Bass D Dwight SpitzCurrensy Smokee RobinsonCurrensy Pilot TalkDark Time Sunshine VesselDe La Soul De La Soul Is Dead Devin The Dude Waitin' to InhaleDevin The Dude Just Tryin' Ta LiveDevin Townsend TerriaDinosaur Jr. FarmDJ Quik Rhythm-al-ismDr. Dog Shame, ShameDr. Dog FateDuffy RockferryEminem The Marshall Mathers LPErykah Badu New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the AnkhGil Scott-Heron Pieces of a ManGodspeed You!

Guilty's bullish delivery sounds perfect over Madlib's off-kilter sample choices.

He cooked up some hot shit for 50 Cent to rap over on Get Rich or Die Tryin', and 50 wasn't no slouch neither. 50 Cent is a rapper that is a lot of style, some skill, and because he wasn't too busy with rap until the mid 90s, it feels like he's still learning the job lyrically. But his flow, an aggressively thick growl, jells perfectly over whatever Dre gives him. It's perfect. Shame this perfect chem wouldn't work later on.Arcade Fire FuneralBig K.R.I.T.

LoveNHugs also completely misses the point of Gucci imo.Gucci Mane The State vs. Radric DavisHarlem HippiesWith Hippies, Harlem seem content with their form of garage rock. That is, not being innovative at all, meshing fuzzy riffs with bubblegummy choruses and giving that a proper groove. In other words, they're a little stuck in the past, but the effort put into Hippies and the multitude of influences ranging from the 60s rock n' roll/psychedelic rock to grunge make it a worthy effort none-the-less. Come in expecting catchy choruses, crunchy riffs, and nothing but the rock and you'll get as you wish.Jeezy Trap Or Die 2: ReloadedJeezy Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101Jeezy The InspirationLightning Bolt Ride The SkiesLil B The Based God: Based Blunts Vol. 1Lil Wayne Da Drought 3Little Eichmanns HologramMy friend has expressed a desire for me to look into his music. Overall i think it's well done, most of it is chilled over electronic music, layered with thick, warble-y keys and molten, slowly-moving drums. "Effigy" is a highlight because of it's pop-ish song structure and bombastic chorus. There's a big divide between songwriters, which could fault the solidity of the music as a whole, but both styles are good, ranging from the chilled out, whimsical electro-indie to the groovy, toe tapping, hip hop-inspired (if only in drum beats) songs. A good piece of music, definitely showing potential in this band.Lootpack Soundpieces: Da Antidote!Massive Attack 100th WindowMaxwell BLACKsummers'night (2009)Metallica Ride The LightningMetallica Garage Inc.Miles Davis Bitches BrewMos Def The EcstaticMurs Murs 3:16: the 9th EditionMystikal Let's Get ReadyMystikal TarantulaNas It Was WrittenObie Trice CheersOl' Dirty Bastard Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty VersionOpeth WatershedOpeth MorningrisePharoahe Monch DesireReflection Eternal Train of ThoughtRick Ross Teflon DonRJD2 The ColossusRJD2 Since We Last SpokeSurfer Blood Astro CoastThe Isley Brothers 3+3The Roots How I Got OverThe worst Roots album in years.

One of the most recognizable styles in hip hop, no doubt. But about half of these beats just aren't worth him. "What I Be On" is an awesome, sing-songy ode to weed and womens, and it totally works because the beat is just woozy and funky enough to work, but some of the album is just lost in uninspired G-Funk. In other words, fuck you Koch, fuck you and your low budgets.DragonForce Ultra BeatdownEminem RecoveryGenghis Tron Dead Mountain MouthGoodie Mob World PartyHigh on Fire Art Of Self-DefenseJay-Z Kingdom ComeJeezy The RecessionKanye West GraduationKid Cudi Man on the Moon: The End of DayKurupt StreetlightsLa Coka Nostra A Brand You Can Trustit's good, but it's so distracting to hear Everlast suck so much on the mic now. Lightning Bolt Hypermagic MountainLil B 6 KissLil Jon Crunk RockLil Jon is one of the most likable artists in hip hop. I mean, of course his lyrics are TERRIBLE, what else would you expect from the man who created the club MONSTER "Get Low". The fact is, his beats are thumping pieces of crunk magic, and he gets the right people to rap over them, hell, he gets people influenced by him to create shit, and boy does it sound GOOD. The first half is noisy, loud as shit, bouncy crunk muzak, perfect for any club whatsoever. The energy is freakin' infectious. It sort of soils itself in the second half with R&B tracks, especially with the worst song of all time in the 3OH!3-assisted "Hey", but Crunk Rock is much better than I expected. Color me impressed, after 6 years, Lil Jon still sounds as crunk as ever.Lil Wayne Tha Carter IIILil Wayne Dedication 2Lil Wayne Tha CarterMadvillain Madvillainy 2: The Madlib RemixMark Ronson Here Comes The FuzzMiles Davis Porgy and BessMiles Davis On the CornerMurs Murray's RevengeNas Hip Hop Is DeadNas God's SonNas and Damian Marley Distant RelativesOl' Dirty Bastard Nigga PleaseOpeth DeliveranceOutKast Speakerboxxx/The Love BelowOutKast IdlewildQueens of the Stone Age Songs for the DeafReal Estate Real EstateVery pretty music, but there really is nothing else to it. Good to listen to for to calm down for a minute, but absolutely no substance and the listeners ability to get lost in it and not know where you even are is a bit troubling. Tracks are indecipherable, and plays sort of like one cohesive piece, which I guess is good, but also means no highlights, so it's just meandering in the pretty good area, but that's basically it.

It's good in parts, but as a whole, it's really nothing, kinda boring, and ultimately doesn't live up to the hype it's been given around here. Much better than the other shit this band has released, but really, nothing much more than ho-hum metalcore.Asher Roth Asleep In The Bread AisleBeastie Boys Licensed To IllChino XL Here to Save You AllThe reason Chino XL has never gained fame is his lack of commercial appeal and his lack of tasteful beat choice. No doubt, along with Ras Kass, in a purely technical sense, one of the greatest MC's ever to walk. But not only is Chino really not that charismatic, but his beat selection is just off. Some goods songs here and there, but mostly disappointing. Cypress Hill Cypress Hill III: Temples of BoomDrake So Far GoneEminem The Eminem ShowEquilibrium Turis FratyrG-Unit Terminate On SightGucci Mane Burrrprint 2 (HD)King Geedorah Take Me to Your Leader"Fazers" is one of the most misleading tracks of all time. The sweeping, space-age nature of the beat wanders you to believe this is MF Doom over more fluttering and atmospheric beats, which would be pretty neat, but its far from it. Rather, it's MF's goons from Monsta Island Czars jumping over some of biggest, chillest beats recorded. "Anti-Matter" stands out due to MF and Mr. Fantastik having fantastic chemistry, and you just can't ruin the jazz of "Next Levels", no matter how many goons you send. The fact is, these are some of DOOM's best beats, and his apes just ruin this. Only "No Snakes Alive", with MF Grimm and Rodan sounds truly good with guests, and even then, DOOM almost derails it with his flow which complete ignores the beat. It's shameful to give anything MF DOOM related a 2.5, but whaddya know, this isn't that much of a DOOM record. MF Grimm kills most of these beats on Special Herbs and Spices Vol.1, i suggest you look at that instead of this.
