Album Review: JadaKiss – “The Last Kiss”

Jada is back with his third solo album entitled “The Last Kiss” and he is taking no prisoners. The album has been five years in the making and apparently things do get better with time. Before I get into the review of the album I just want to say that if you haven’t listened to Jadakiss like that, you need to. The dude is SO underrated but the truth is that he could probably eat your favorite rapper for lunch and not even get indigestion. He is as lyrically versatile as anyone to ever spit and what makes that even more impressive is that all his rhymes actually make since, I mean like when he says something witty. Basically, Jada don’t spit to spit, he drops knowledge. Anyway, most times when people talk about the hottest rappers in the game, you hardly hear them mention Jada, but right now he is definitely in my top five mc’s breathing along with Jay, T.I., Weezy, and Kanye. Sorry Jeezy.

In stores now, go get it!!

Now back to the album, first off I want to say thanks to kiss for giving us 18 tracks, I mean these days most stop at 14 or 15, I mean what’s all that about? Jada hits you hard right out you the gate on the second track with the club banger “Can’t Stop Me” f/ Ayanna Irish. This track is kind of feel good point for the summer basically saying that if you stay focus nobody can stop and that ain’t nothing but the truth. The next track “Who’s Real” f/Swizz Beatz is let’s just say underwhelming but not for Jada’s lack of hot rhymes but rather for Swizz’s less than stellar beat,

Album Review: T.I. – Paper Trail

The king of the south is back at again and he is not playing. “Paper Trail” is T.I.’s sixth studio album and possibly his best since his debut “I’m Serious”. The album is entitled “Paper Trail” in reference to the fact that this is the first time he has written his lyrics down since “I’m Serious”, after his debut album he had adopted the popular trend of not writing his lyrics down in the model of such great rappers as Biggie and Jay-Z.

In stores now, so go get it!!

The album kicks of with the blistering “56 Barz”, a hot track that finds T.I. in rare form. This track is just T.I. spitting for about 3 minutes with no hook, thus the name. Next, he kills on it “I’m Illy” letting everybody know that in his own words he “runs the city”.

Tupac Shakur: Still The Greatest Rapper Ever

I meant to publish this on the day but got a little behind so I am publishing it now.

I know that people get very emotional about this topic. Either you love Tupac or you hate him, it’s that simple for most. It really comes down to either you are a Biggie fan or a Pac fan, most people don’t straddle the line. Today, marks the 12th anniversary of the death of Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 — September 13, 1996) but his music lives on.

We Still Think You Are The G.O.A.T.

The first time I heard Tupac was on my cousin’s “Me Against The World” CD and I have been hooked ever since, I was seven years old. Even as a young child his music touched me somewhere deep, I couldn’t really understand it at the time but as I got older I did. Tupac was a very complex individual and his music demonstrated that. From introspective tracks like “Keep Ya Head Up” and “Still I Rise to hard hitting viscerally charged tracks like “Hit Em Up” and “Bomb First”, Tupac Shakur was a man full of demons, trapped between who he was and who he wanted to be.

Album Review: The Game-L.A.X (Deluxe Edition)… Is The Game Better Than 50?

The Game is back with his third album L.A.X and I gotta say that I am digging it. In fact, to be honest I have liked all The Game’s albums. From the very start their has been a lot of controversy surrounding him, none bigger than his very nasty and public split with G-Unit and 50. After “The Documentary” sold 586,000 copies in its first week and went on to sell over 5 million copies worldwide there was a lot of contention from 50 cent that he had in fact been the genius behind most of the tracks. It got even nastier when when 50 said that the game couldn’t really write and without him he wouldn’t do anything. Not exactly the way it worked out huh 50?

Is This Really The Game’s Last Album??

So “L.A.X.” is a very enjoyable trip from beginning to end.

Lil Wayne Dies from Syrup, It’s Not True…But It Could Be

Note: As of the writing of this article, nothing has happened to Lil Wayne, this post is more to discuss the potential consequences of the current lifestyle he chooses to lead.

First off I want to say I am a huge Weezy fan. Secondly, I know that Wayne isn’t the only rapper out there that is addicted to syrup, but he is the most well known. I battled with myself for a while as to whether or not I should post the recipe for “syrup”, but the fact that I simply did a quick Google search of “rapper syrup recipe” and found it, I decided if someone wants to find the recipe they could. The recipe for syrup is different depending on where you are but the basics are:

Promethazine w/Codeine syrup
Any fruit flavored soda
A jolly rancher

For the record I don’t condone this stuff, and it WILL kill you.

For the life of me I can not see why the people around him aren’t doing more to help him get off this stuff. I mean smoking a lot of weed is bad and it has side effects but I don’t know when the last time I heard of someone dying from smoking too much weed. While I don’t condone any kind of drug use, I would rather he be smoking too much than drinking this stuff. I mean Weezy says that he is the “greatest rapper alive” and save for the part of me that loves T.I. I tend to agree with him, the question is how long will he be alive if he continues to abuse this stuff.
