Cormega-Born & Raised (4 Stars)

Killah Priest-Elizabeth (4.25 Stars)

Stat Quo-Great Depression (only got thru it once, but 3.5 right now...)

Apathy-Wanna Snuggle? (3.75, dispite having classic tracks like "Victim" and "I'm A Demigod" there is some wackness on there too)

Guerilla War Tactix-Invasion (4.5 Stars, dope hardcore in the vein of Non Phixion and Jedi Mind Tricks)

Wildtyle-That Was Then This Is Now (4.5 Stars)

Mr. Serv-On-Gangsta 1 More Time (4 stars)

Shane Capone-Certified Whiteboy (4 stars, completely disagree with dude's beliefs, but overall a dope album)

Jon Conner & J.Hollet-Man Vs. Beast (3.75 stars)

Mac Lethal-Love Potion #5 (3.75 stars but it's only a ep/mixtape and it's better than the Cage and Eyedea albums this year...pathetic)

Royce Da 5'9"-Street Hop (4.75 stars...dope shit)

Undergods (3.75 Stars...wish the whole thing was produced by Eric Sermon and there were more guest appearances like Crooked I and Tech N9ne...but better than I thought it'd be)

Del & Tame 1-Parellel Uni-Verses (3.5, they should have gone with a different producer IMO and the album was too shot with too much "eh" material)

Great, ambitious. I liked At War with the Mystics, but that album had me worried about them settling into a lane and staying there, but they've proved they're still very willing to push themselves with this new album.

Joe Budden "Escape Route"

Right on...I'll have to pick this one up. I've been meaning to. My favorite is "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots", but I didn't get into "At War with the Mystics" as much...solid record though.

Nah I bought it in about 4 or 5 different orders. About 90% are new. Not sure how much it cost but judging from my bank balance around $400 australian shipped. I don't want to think about it. Lol

In regards to the Tech N9ne, I felt the beats were too similar on some tracks. The album was ok, but I thought the production could have been better. I still think Everready was his best in recent years.

havent got to the store yet this week but ill be buying Mega, Royce, maybe Fashawn, Del & Tame One, and probably KP, and William Cooper

Good luck finding ANY of those Slang.

I've seen the Del & Tame One, but the rest are nowhere to be found.

Same here...

I believe the Del & Tame One album is at Best Buy. Other than that, none of the other albums are in the major retail outlets. Royce's album is distributed by E1 (Koch) I believe. So, why is it not in stores? The think first week sales for Royce aren't going to be that great. Dope album but lazy distribution.

That Tech N9ne album's beats aren't similar IMO. Granted, the production is thematic throughout, but that's just good continuity. I think the album is a banger, a 4.5-4.75 that may even reach higher than that. Tech lost all the wannabe pop songs, all the shit that's too personal to relate to, and finally just got back to making dope hip hop in the style he's most comfortable with.

I agree he is not making those stupid pop tracks though, and he's reverted back to the haunting lyrical style he is known. My judgement is only based off of the Amazon samples. When I listen to the whole album, I'll give my rating. I didn't know you were a Tech fan N3RO. I'm awaiting the Regime album with him, Yuk, and others.

I don't think that Regime album is ever gonna happen. And obviously we must not converse very often if you didn't know I was a tech n9ne fan. The samples don't nearly do the album justice.

Terry let me know how that Z-Ro sounds, i'm low on play money so I do not want to waste it. Crack was not all that so i'm a tad cautious.

Yeah, i'll let you know. Z-Ro hasn't really disappointed me yet. Crack is far from his best, but it was still a solid 4-4.25 star album.

Yeah I think I was expecting a harder more hardtime themed album. I got it at 3.75 or so.

Yeah, 3.75 is reasonable. It just seems worse than it really is because he's constantly in the 4.5 star range.

Masta Ace & Edo.G:Arts & Entertainment

4.0, easily, might climb up with more spins. Gonna have to buy this when it drops.



Terry that Tech is dope, mayne!!!! Best album since Anghellic, easily.

Purchases:

Went to Best Buy today finally to buy NBA Live, the new Tech N9ne, Cormega, Royce, and whatever else was there
I ended up only buying NBA Live, then bought Fifa, and then they said sinc i bought two games i get one free so i got the new Batman game for free

all that said they had no albums i was looking for, Tech N9ne was completely sold out and they even had it displayed in the new releases section

smh

That Tech N9ne is dope. N3R0, you didnt think Everready was a classic? Tech surprised me when he put T-Nutty and Freddie Foxxx on the new album. I wasn't expecting that.

Didn't know you were a soccer fan. You bought it for 360?

T-Nutty was on MLK, I wasn't that surprised. No, I didn't think Everready was a classic but it's definitely his best post-Anghellic work (by far, excluding KOD).

Everrready is so damn dope, I just started getting into Tech, and that album is fire.

Everready, IMO, isn't better than AP....

Anghellic is by far Tech's best work followed closely by Calm Before the Storm.

Where did you get the Z-Ro? Is it hard to find?

I picked mine up at Best Buy. they had like 3 copies.

I don't know what kind of schools they have in MI or TN, but 4.25 is pretty close to 4.75. Aren't you guys the people that went off on me for saying there was a huge difference between 3.5 and 4? Yeah, that's what I thought.

The only thing i ever said about .5 stars was the perception that OB4CL2 was light years better than BP3, but in reality there isn't more than a half star difference IMO. As far as the Tech album, you gave the album 4.75 because the skits drag the album down. However there are songs that bring the album down as well. 4.75 indicates the album is great, and this album is nowhere near great.
