Jadakiss "The Last Kiss" // Album Review

Well, well, well... First and foremost, let me kick this off with a little bit of honesty. I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, listened to an entire Jada album.

I started listening to this album with the expectation that the raspy voice and 'AHAA' would piss me off and therefore make me NEXT that shit. It actually didn't bother me that much and his lyrical content made up for the annoying ass ad-lib.

At first glance, it's a feature heavy album which normally means it won't be as good as an album with minimum features. I have to say, every collaboration that Jada did on this CD was FIRE. Everyone held their own weight and nobody got murdered on any tracks.

It's nice to see that not only did he make "club bangers" or "gangsta music" but, he showed every angle that he has as an artist. On "Who's Real" featuring Swizz Beats and OJ Da Juiceman, even mediocre ass OJ holds his own with the two greats. This will more than likely become a hit with people everywhere seeing as though we are all preoccupied with pointing out the phoneys (POINT EM OUT!!!) Now on "One More Step", Jada and Styles P are showing us why they have been around so long. It's nice to see the way they interact on the track... Almost like they can finish each others thoughts.

He even pays homage to one of the G.O.A.T., Biggie. On the track "Letter to B.I.G." with Faith Evans, Jada tells the legend what's been going on since he passed away. Things like the label deal, how the Lox ended up, just pretty much saying that the game is fucked up honestly.

I'm not going to spoil the show though. This will become a classic in about.... Oh.... 5 years? I don't think many people will give this album the credit it is due. Personally, if you have never been a Jada fan, this might just do the trick.

Rating you say?

Wale // Penthouse Anthem Review

I posted the link to the song a minute ago...

That jont is def something different but, in true Wale fashion,
different is good!!!

It's about that temporary love with a stripper and alllllllll that good shit.
Smooth ass beat, and some true ass lyrics. Cause we all think about a stripper at one point in time (at least I know I have)...

I fuck with the song on some real shit, so listen to it and download that jont if you do too.

Album Review: Lykke Li

Lykke Li - Youth Novels

I always like to discover new things, even if it's just new to me. From listening to Drake's "So Far Gone" mixtape, I instantly loved the song "Little Bit" which I thought featured her on it. I was wrong... So wrong!!! It's actually a song from this CD which I have fallen in love with.

1. Melodies & Desires - A light intro with very minimal vocals but, the instrumental itself is captivating. I started listening to this while I write because it is so beautiful. When she does speak on this, its like a poem.

2. Dance. Dance. Dance. - A playful simplistic melody with her vocals is cool. The beat is almost kind of African in influence. She has such a different sounding voice, it works very well with the music itself.

3. I'm Good. I'm Gone - A moving on song. It wouldn't be a females CD without one. I actually like it.

4. Let It Fall - Sounds like a filler to me. Still not a bad song though. Not a favorite though.

5. My Love - One of my favorites =] Just listen to it for yourself! They keep this one powerful talking about her feelings towards the person she loves and what the love makes her do.

6. Little Bit - Has an asian influence on the beat, I like this one better than the version with Drake. This is something I can relate to because it's something we all as people go through.

7. Hanging High - Since it comes right after the high energy "Little Bit", it kind of brings you down to your normal self again, sweet melody and beat.

8. This Trumpet In My Head - An instrumental that she kind of speaks over at some point.

9. Complaint Department - Euro-styled beat, this song is how a lot of people feel I'm sure. She makes it clear to whomever that she isn't the complaint department.

10. Breaking It Up - Hip-Hop like, this joint is a break up song for sure.

11. Time Flies - An interesting song, very different from the rest of the CD. It's about the things that happen as time passes.

12. Window Blues - Communication is key according to this powerful song. The lyrics explain it all, she keeps her side open, you keep shutting her out. Plus or minus a few details here and there. Lol

So, to conclude the review,
I give this album....
3 out of 5.

Positives:
Different kind of voice
Not just one style, it kind of varies
The instrumental work is hot

Negatives:
Unlike American singers,
she doesn't do high notes, her singing is slightly mono-ton-ish.

So yeah, that about sums it all up.
