Album Reviews

Hip Hop Music Reviews and Rap CD Reviews – The only source you can trust!

A number of years ago a certain magazine ruined rap album reviews by rarely going outside 3 and 4.5 on the 5 point rating scale. To this day most cats stick within those parameters with hip hop music reviews and R’n’B reviews. HipHopDX is changing all that, we’re using everything between 0 and 5 and dissecting LP’s with knowledge and perspective not seen often anymore. Credible rap CD reviews are about the only way to sift through all the garbage out there these days, HipHopDX has got that.

Mac Lethal - 11:11
Wednesday, October 24, 2007 | Comments: 22
11:11 is a welcome change of pace from the normally paranoid RSE roster. Despite its inevitable (albeit quasi-stereotypical) similarities toInterscope’s melanin-deprived cash cow, Mac adds yet another golden star to Rhymesayers’ impressive résumé.
Little Brother - Getback

It seems inevitable that all the great groups split up: A Tribe Called Quest, NWA, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Gang Starr, Brand Nubian, EPMD, and the list goes on.
will.I.am - Songs About Girls
Friday, October 19, 2007 | Comments: 19
It turns out that will’s album works exactly the same way as his other production ventures; it’s interesting when he tries new things, and incredibly annoying when he churns out the same simplistic sound found on Elephunk and Monkey Business.
Boyz N Da Hood - Back Up N Da Chevy
Tuesday, October 16, 2007 | Comments: 24
Song concepts are weak and lyrics could definitely use a tune-up. Though you have no business listening to this crew if you’re after lyrical prowess, the beats aren’t good enough to excuse the shortcoming.
Special Teamz - Stereotypez
Monday, October 15, 2007 | Comments: 17
Though there are moments where the skills give chills, much of the Special Teamz official debut sounds pretty typical in the stereo.
9th Wonder - Dream Merchant Vol 2
Thursday, October 11, 2007 | Comments: 27
Without question, Merchant is how Hip Hop is, and how it could be, boasting 18 tracks of a purists or backpacker’s dream—emcees spitting over dope beats. In the words of former partner Phonte: “Dope beats, dope rhymes, what more do y’all want?”
Havoc - Kush
Wednesday, October 10, 2007 | Comments: 25
he Kush unfortunately give listeners less reason to wonder why Havoc has played the back for so long, while Prodigy has remained the (sometimes-swollen) mouthpiece of the crew. Perhaps now he’ll stick to crafting those moody heatrocks more often.
Soulstice - Dead Letter Perfect
Monday, October 08, 2007 | Comments: 12
Amidst stiff competition in the Midwest, Soulstice has emerged as a very formidable emcee. Dead Letter Perfect isn’t quite perfect; for that matter, neither is Soulstice – but that’s fine – he doesn’t pretend to be.
