Ok my 1st review for this topic will be obie trices new alb*m SECOND ROUNDS ON ME.

Well i got to say from the get go i have not been much of a fan of obies music but on this alb*m he touchs on whats been going on in detroit. Also the production is quite good but his word play is just not as good as what he can do, its like he aint trying and is missing the hunger of wanting to spit fire and it just has not what his fans want or need. It feels rushed, but if your a die hard obie fan go get this as you may think its what you been waiting for. I give it 3 out of 5.

My next review is tha dogg pound alb*m titled CALI IS ACTIVE.

I had mix feelings about this album, my thoughts were do these guys still have what it takes like back in the days or have the fallen in to the trap of the whole bling an whips an like that. Well straight up these guys held it down lyrically but didnt have that vibe from like what they were back in that 90s era of the classic hiphop. Snoop only appeared on a few tracks and having david banner on the alb*m wasnt a good move. But daz and kurupt did there thing and held it down lyrical style for LA and showd the cali movement was still active. I give it 4 out of 5

Ok the next is shawnna an her alb*m titled BLOCK MUSIC.

Straight off the get go it had that DTP feel when it came to beats and guest apperance was fairly pridictable theres lil wayne, ludacris, field mobb, and newcomer shareefa also bobby valentino. Her 1st alb*m WORTH THE WEIGHT hardly made a dent on sound scan sales but maybe this time she got what it has. The production was good and some crazy beats on a few tracks and with the help from the other people on the alb*m may get her props for once. 3 and a half out of 5.

Next alb*m is by yung joc, alb*m titled NEW JOC CITY.

This guy yung joc from atlanta has got some skills he get really rip up when under pressure to bring out some ill rhymes. Also T.I. Makes an apperance and so dose big duke and jody breeze, but he needs to step his flows up and then maybe he will have what it takes to be a good rapper. This aint as good as i thought it would be. 3 out of 5.

This next dude you have all heard before at one time or another, dj khaled alb*m titled LISTENNN THE ALBUM.

Dj khaled gathered a cluster of stars for this joint, although rappers dont typically bring there A game to the studio for compilation apperances, this florida dj manages to coerce a few winning performances. It has apperances by kanye west, the game and blackwall street, also bone thugs and twista, nas, lil wayne, trick daddy, pit bull, rick ross, and also has cool n dre doing some production. While khaleds debut dosent always boost his A an R rep, its still worth a good listennn. 4 out of 5.

These next dudes from the dirty south have something to prove on their new alb*m titled LIGHT POLES AND PINE TREES by field mob.

field mob have come along way with this joint. I havent heard much of their music but when i heard this i was impressd at what these guys could do lyrically and the beats were pretty good i asure you. They have apperance by ciara and production by jazze pha, an a few other people drop by on the album. Its worth checking out for sure i give it 4 out of 5.

Rhymefest alb*m titled BLUE COLLAR is the next review.

This guy has some clever punch lines and has some good production work from cool and dre also ronson and has just-blaze to help with beats to. It seems this guy has tried go commercial on a few tracks but all in all great alb*m 4 out of 5.

The alb*m by pimp C titled pimpalation is what im checking out atm and this is what i thought of it.

This cd is a follow up and the soundtrack for the dvd that took you inside the life of pimp C as he gets his life back together after his release from jail. The pimpalation dvd showed pimp c celebrating his release an in the studio working on music with a host of other rappers including scarface lil flip young jeezy z-ro lil webbie an of course bun b. This is some good tunes and if your a fan of the pimp him self then get this alb*m i must say its real good and is better then his last album.

Inspectah deck alb*m titled Resident patient is what i just checkd out the other day an heres what i thought of it.

Wu tangs inspectah deck is the legendary swordswinger from the killa hill projects of shaolin aka staten island. He is one of the fiercest warriors of the wu an has ever known an always makes the most of mic time. Known for spot blowing apperances on all of the wu tangs albums as well as epic collaborations with gangstarr and pete rock, deck has earned a spot in the hiphop hall of fame with this new banger Resident Patient. This alb*m complete with lethal lyricism from his new affiliates house gang and features from wu tang pioneers RZA U God carlton fisk. Great alb*m got that classic wu feeling about it. Got to give 4 out of 5.

Oh and i give 4 out of 5 for pimp c an his album.

Next alb*m is JR writers History in the making.
