Tight Album, July 14 2004

First of all stop hatin on Joe Budden just cuz he's beefin with She-Unit and The Game. Joe's tight as is this album. Here's my favorite tracks:

Pump It Up- First single. Blazing beat and goofy lyrics.
#1- A good story of Hip-Hop. One of my favorites.
Fire- Second single featuring Busta Rhymes. Hot beat and rhymes.
Calm Down- A good song about him and his mother. Nice beat
10 Min.- My favorite song. It's really 10 minutes long and it never bores you for the most part.
Walk With Me- Sounds like Joe's askin y'all 2 walk with him as he discovers secrets about his life.
Focus- Not one of my favorite beats, but it's still hot.
Real Life In Rap- A good… Read more

This Is Pretty Good, July 14 2004

Some acting's bad, but besides that "Belly" is an everyday crime film, only with alot of style and alot of truthfulness. DMX and Nas star as Tommy and Sincere(a modern day Butch and Sundance as Sincere puts it). They are thugs who rob night clubs. Then Tommy finds out about this new kind of drug, hooks up with his Jamaican druglord friend Lennox(one of the coolest performances), and builds an empire in Nebraska. Everything's cool until Knowledge(rapper Power) gets locked up and starts screwing Tommy's business up. He recruits Shameek(Method Man) to hunt them down and kill them. At the same time, Sincere starts to reconsider his lifestyle.

This isn't the greatest crime… Read more

I Won't Be 2 Harsh, July 13 2004

Junior M.A.F.I.A. are not real rappers. "Conspiracy" has its delights(Player's Anthem; Realms of Junior M.A.F.I.A.; Get Money), but they never really show us who Junior M.A.F.I.A. is. Biggie and Lil' Kim seem to be the only ones who are noticable on this album, because the other rappers go from song to song rapping about the same things(murder, drugs, sex). No wonder Pac dissed them. The main point is buy Biggie's two albums(not Born Again) and Lil' Kim's debut if you want better music.
