Album Review: Marshall Mathers LP 2 by Eminem


I'm finally getting to write a review on Eminem's 8th solo album. Eminem was one of the first rappers I ever listened too, and he made fall in love with hiphop. The way he uses imagery to tell stories and show off his lyrical prowess really makes him one of the best rappers ever. MMLP 2 definitely does have a mainstream sound to it. It shows Eminem trying out new things, and revisiting old memories.
            The first song, Bad Guy, shows Shady playing as the younger brother of Stan. The guy who was obsessed with Eminem, which drove him to kill himself and his girlfriend? Ya, Eminem masterfully tells the story of Matthew taking revenge on Eminem for the death of Stan. The last verse of the song is probably one of the best Eminem verses ever.
            Skipping to Rhyme Or Reason, this track shows Eminem spitting amazing wordplay and multisyllabic patterns over a Rick Rubin produced instrumental. I love the sample of using Time Of The Season by The Zombies. Classic rock samples are dope! Eminem even goes after his father on this song.
            So Much Better is a song that flips the beat from Criminal, which was on MMLP. Eminem compares the rap game to a woman who is cheating on him with other artists. Above and beyond wordplay, as usual.
            The song in the Call of Duty trailers, Survival, is a braggadocios song from Mr. Mathers. Liz Rodrigues contributes a haunting hook, which really complements Eminem’s fast flow.
            Legacy shows Eminem reminiscing about his past thoughts and accepting that he is great at what he does. Each verse represents a different part of Eminem’s childhood and teenage life, with the last verse reflecting his present life. He also uses the same rhyme pattern throughout the song. The message of this song is basically the epitomy of the MMLP2. Amazing.
            Asshole is an extremely sarcastic song. Em basically talks about how much hate receives, and how some people still consider him an “asshole”. Over a very synth driven instrumental from Alex Da Kid, Em absolutely destroys the beat.       
            If you watch college football, then chances you have heard this song many times. This has Rick Rubin written all over the beat, because of that throwback feel. The Billy Squier sample is on point, and Eminem goes “Berzerk”.
            And now we finally come to the best track on the whole album: Rap God. Whether Em thinks of himself as a God or not, this song goes off! With probably a gajillion hiphop references, from Busta Rhymes’s New School rap group to the Ray J and Fabo beef, this song has everything. Another mainstream-type of beat.
            Brainless is another song that has vintage Slim to it. He covers how he was bullied in high school. This song definitely has a scary vibe to it with all the serial killer references. Marshall also adds a lot of dark humor with this track.
            Stronger Than I Was was a weird track when I first heard it. I mean Eminem is singing like 2/3rd’s of the song. It might be weird, but this song is actually a response to Em;s violent tirade “Kim” which was on the MMLP. This song is written from Kim Mather’s perspective. This song has a cool meaning, but I’m really into all the singing.
            The Monster is obviously the radio hit of the album, because of the RiRi hook. This is a very emotional, and personal track from Em.
            So Far is another Rick Rubin produced track that uses a classic rock sample. This time around, Life’s Been Good by Joe Walsh is the sample. Eminem talks about how he will never forget his roots in Detroit. He honestly sounds really old when starts talking about how he doesn’t know how to use Facebook and smartphones. It makes me chuckle every time I hear those lines.
            Finally we hear a collab between Kendrick and Eminem. This song is the second song on this album that personifies hiphop as a woman. The sample is Game Of Love by Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders. This song is one of those feel-good songs. Amazing verses from both kings of hiphop.
            Headlights is an unexpected apology to his mother, Debbie Mathers. All those horrific things Marshall said to his mother in many songs are all wiped out with hearfelt song.
            What a finale to a great album. Eminem trades lines with his alter ego, Slim Shady on this nightmarish track. He takes out many people in Shady fashion. This song is also the return of violent fantasies that Marshall is known for.
            In the end, Eminem still shows that he is one of the best rappers. This album received a lot of criticism because it too mainstream, and it is his most mainstream album sonically, but being mainstream doesn’t mean it is bad. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is truly an amazing album, and it shows that Eminem is here to stay. (4 out of 5 stars)

Album Review: My Name Is My Name by Pusha T

            Technically this is Pusha's debut album, but he is far from being called a rookie in the rap game. In my opinion, he is extremely underrated, and I'm hoping this album goes to number 1 on the Billboards. He definitely deserves more recognition, especially with an album like this. His lyricism is outstanding, and the producers on this album did an amazing job.
            Damn! The intro to this album is probably one of the best intros I have heard in a while. King Push really sets the tone of the whole album. Pusha claims “If it’s my reign, then it’s my shower”, which is probably the dopest line in the song. Pusha destroyed this song, and that is all I can say.
            Numbers On The Boards is a perfect beat made by Mr. West and Don Cannon. It is such a simple beat, but Pusha shows off his boastful lyricism. Another ambient track on this LP, which we’ll hear a lot of throughout the album.
            Pusha aint afraid to talk about his drug dealing past, and Sweet Serenade sure shows it off. Over a cinematic instrumental from Swizz Beatz, Pusha tells us why real g’s move in silence. Also this song shows why Chris Brown needs to stick to hooks. The hook on this song really complements Pusha’s verses. Pure greatness right here.
            Hold On is like a street ballad. Pusha, Kanye harmonizing, and damn does Rozay deliver, really makes a perfect song. This song is heartfelt, but at the same time gritty. What Ross says in his verse, really shows the thesis of this song, “If you slip and you fall I got you my nigga, hold on”. The feels…
            The next song, Suicide, shows how Pusha still got block ties. Skateboard P provides a very bouncy beat, and Pusha goes to work. This song is also kind of a Re-Up Gang reunion, because of Ab-liva’s simple, but effective verse.
            40 Acres is another emotional song, because it describes Pusha’s childhood. The Dream provides an ambient beat, as well as a hook. The one thing I noticed with this song is the extreme change in the beat when the hook changes to the verses. King Push shows off his storytelling skills.
            No Regrets, in my opinion, is the anthem of the album. My Name Is My Name is all about Pusha reminiscing on his past life, but he on this song he shows he has “No Regrets”. Solid hook from Kevin Cossom, and Jeezy’s verse adds a lot of color to this banger.
            Let Me Love You talks about Pusha cheating on his girl. Kelly Rowland plays the part of the “side chick”. Another song where Pusha shows off his versatility in the rap game. He even pays homage to Ma$e with a verse that sounds exactly like Ma$e’s voice. That beat is really infectious, as well.
            Who I Am is Pusha’s statement to be dope forever…literally. Another drug reference right there. Fellow GOOD Music labelmates, 2Chainz and Mr. Finally Famous, provide braggadocios verses.
            Nosestalgia is another amazing storytelling song. Pusha talks about his drug dealing past, while Kendrick provides a really dark verse talking about his father’s drug addiction. Some say the Kendrick verse is better than the “Control” verse. That may be very true, because the verse is magnificent.
            Another dark song produced by Kanye. Pain shows that Future doesn’t only do club songs. This song was actually leaked a long time ago, but it still goes hard.
            Sorry Nigga, I’m Tryna Come Home, S.N.I.T.C.H, is about exactly what the acronym says. No one likes a snitch, but Pharrell’s character is trying to get out, so he will snitch on Pusha’s character. The Neptunes provide a very bluesy beat, and even Pharrell’s hook sounds like an old school soul singer.
            This album is a masterpiece. That is all I can say. With amazing production and lyricism, Pusha really outdid  himself on this LP. (5 out of 5 stars)

Album Review: Nothing Was The Same by Drake


            Drizzy returns with a mix of rapping and singing 2 years after Take Care. When I first heard Nothing Was The Same, I thought it was alright. But after continuously hearing this album, I realized Drake had a dope album on his hands. I felt the same way with this album as I did with Yeezus. NWTS felt really unique, and takes time to get into it.
            Starting with Tuscan Leather, the intro track, Drake shows how he could “rap for an hour on this beat”. 40, OVO’s in house producer, samples 3 different Whitney Houston songs, and Drake goes to work. 6 minutes of raw hiphop and no hook? It is the purest form of hiphop right here.
            Furthest Thing shows Drizzy’s singing skills, and shows some aggressive rapping, which heard throughout the whole album. Drake also shows that he is not perfect, the “furthest thing from perfect”. Not many rappers will show weaknesses, but Drake did with this song and I applaud him.
            Started From The Bottom was the banger of the album. Everyone was claiming that they came from the dirt after listening to this song. This song got really annoying after a while, but the beat still goes in today. Drake again showing an aggressive side in this song.
            Wu-Tang Forever is kind of an odd song because it has nothing to do with Wu-Tang, besides the sample. This song still doesn’t make sense to me, because even the verses don’t match up. The first one he talks about a woman in his life, and the second is about his enemies. Moving on…
            The next song, Own It, is about is love for a certain woman. This song seems like a typical Drake-esque song. Again, some aggressive qualities come out when he says, “Niggas talk more than bitches these days”. This is definitely apparent a lot these days, so props to Drake for callin them out.
            Worst Behavior is definitely my favorite song on the album. This song showcases how he “started from the bottom”. That DJ Dahi beat never gets old, and the hook never fails to get me hype. This banger is definitely the most aggressive song on the album.
            From Time features Jhene Aiko, and is a general breakup song. The instrumental is very minimalistic, and Drake’s lyricism is on point. It is simple, but good.
            Hold On, We’re Going Home definitely has that MJ vibe to it. It features the newest signee to OVO Sound, Majid Jordan, which is actually a 2 person group. One does production, while the other sings. This is just a feel good song. It is in the same lane as Get Lucky by Daft Punk.
            The HudMo produced track, Connect, definitely has more electric type of sound. Also Drake shows his H-Town knowledge with using the term Swangin on the hook, and using a sample from Swang by Trae and Fat Pat. This song is about a on and off relationship with a woman.
            The Language is the typical boastful rap song. Boi-ida production is very minimalistic, and Drake uses the flow from Versace by Migos on this song.
            305 To My City features Detail from YMCMB, and talks about all those women who grind hard for the mula. He wants them to “shine on them hoes”.
            The next song, Too Much, is a very personal song for Drizzy, because he talks about what is going on in his family. Sampha contributes amazing vocals, and I love when the beat drops and Drake starts rapping.
            Pound Cake/Paris Morten Music 2 is probably one of the most anticipated songs on NWTS, because of Hov. Drake and Jay trade verses over a Boi-ida production. That is all you need.
            Come Thru is another love song for a past woman that Drake dated. The coolest part of the song is that beat breakdown on the back half of the song. It is still a solid song.
            The last song, but not the least, is All Me. It features Tity Boi and Mr. Finally Famous. The Key Wane beat is bass heavy, and all the rappers on here got pretty aggressive flows. Major respect for the Aziz Ansari intro.

            Overall this album is dope, but not Drake’s best work. NWTS shows that Drake will always mix it up with singing and aggressive rapping. This album definitely showed a tougher side to Drizzy Drake. (4 out of 5 stars)

Throwback Thursday: Forever by Drake

This song is still one of the best songs ever done by Drake. With his album coming out next week(most of us already have it, including cause of the leak), I thought it well to reminisce about Drake's start up. Every rapper one here goes in, especially a comeback verse from Slim Shady. Boi-ida's boardwork really sets the mood for this posse cut. I remember having this song on repeat for a couple of weeks. Enjoy this classic, dopeness!

Throwback Thursday: Hit Em Up by Tupac Shakur

With people still reeling from Kendrick's "Control" verse, and many of them saying it is a diss(even though it is not one at all), I thought I might post one the greatest diss records of all time. Tupac and the Outlawz made a masterpiece, which was directed towards Biggie and the Bad Boy crew.

It is so famous that, the name "Stan" is now used as a adjective to describe an obsessed fan. Dido provided an amazing hook, which is smooth, but chilling, dopeness!
