12/13/09 Sunday In Review

Glad to see its good to be back on the blog. Finals are done, I'm off campus til january, and I have nothing on my schedule but party party party! Anyways, how have my loyal, casual, and brand new readers been? Good? That's good. Well this week I haven't really got any new tracks to praise, or a good mixtape (WTF musicworld?) BUT! I do have a good few album to review this week! Even one for the ladies. So with that, its time to go in.

Album Reviews:
Remember people we're in a recession, so SUPPORT the artists! Buy the albums from your local Audio stores or Itunes. SUPPORT GOOD MUSIC! But if it's a whack CD, go ahead and download it, don't support whack artists!

Album Review:
The Clipse - Til The Casket Drops

So The Clipse have a knack with not releasing albums for 3-4 years. And they also have a knack for dropping STRONG releases when their album DOES finally come out. They do keep you interested year by year by releasing exclusive mixtapes to hold you until the album drops. This situation is no different, Til the casket drops delivers with all the orginiality and creativity that you get from a Clipse album or mixtape. This CD packs the essential ingredients needed to make a classic Clipse album: Production by the Neptunes, Strong featurettes, Memorable punchlines, and well crafted songs. I def. recommend buying this album QUICK!
Album Rating (5/5)

Wiz Khalifa - Deal or No Deal

Taylor Gang in full affect! Only a few weeks after his strong mixtape release of "Burn After Rolling" Wiz releases Deal or No Deal, his second album, and in my opinion, best one yet. Now as with most artist, their mixtape persona isn't the same as their album persona, Wiz being no different. Now we all know Wiz goes hard on mixtapes, and besides his Fly Society colleague Curren$y, he goes in even harder. The song "Friendly ft. Curren$y" is on the album and is great evidence of Mixtape Wiz & Curren$y. Towards the middle of the album he starts to become R&B Wiz, which is great for the ladies. Overall this is a great album from Wiz!

Gucci Mane - The State VS Radric Davis

Ok so, I'm going to be honest here. About a year ago this time, I did NOT like Gucci. I don't know what changed my mind about it but, this Gucci album is a motherf#$%ing classic! One thing Gucci brought back that I haven't seen in ages are interludes, and not just interludes, actual FUNNY interludes, they feature Mike Epps on them and are hilarious. But that's beside the point, the tracks on the album are straight up BANGERS. The R&B tracks are listen-to-able, the trap tracks go way too hard, and theres even a Wasted Remix to wrap up the album. Buy this one quick, I can't stop listening to this album! I had to do this:
Album Rating (5/5)

Robin Thicke - Sex Therapy: The Experience

Ok fellas, just because this dude is an R&B singer doesn't mean ignore this part of the post! This album is a certified track for the bedroom. And not just that, but with singles like "Meiple ft. Jay-Z, Shakin it for Daddy ft. Nicki Minaj, and Elevatas ft. Kid Cudi" this album packs a major punch of good music and an even better fusion of R&B and hip hop. Me and my lady friends love this album (LOL). This album makes history on the blog as the first R&B album to get a 5 outta 5. Pat yourself on the back there Mr. Thicke.
