^^^ homo thug

Brother Ali "Us" - 4.5 stars...holding steady after 8 spins or so.
Slaughterhouse - 3.5 stars...actually kind of bored me...
Jay Z "BP3" - N/A
Raekwon "OB4CL 2" - N/A
Krs/Buckshot "Survival Skills" - 3.5-4 stars...maybe more...only played it twice so far.

I agree with Zoltar's ratings, except I'd give Jay's album 3.5 stars.

And Pounds, you need to get that Rae, and spin Survival Skills again.

Brother Ali-4.5 stars. Ali is as sharp as always, and i'm a big fan of the direction Ant's production has taken.

Jay-Z-4.25 stars

Rae-4.0 stars

Slaughterhouse-4 stars

KRS/Buckshot-3.75 stars. it's a dope album at first, but it does not have a ton of replay value to me. KRS was slightly disappointing on this one too

Brother Ali "Us" - 4 Stars after one spin
Slaughterhouse - 4.5 stars after multiple spins
Jay Z "BP3" - 3.75 - 4 stars after several spins
Raekwon "OB4CL 2" - 3.5-3.75 after like 2-3 spins.
Krs/Buckshot "Survival Skills" - 3.5 stars based on the nut huggers who overrate it.

Slaughterhouse- 4.30
Raekwon "OB4CL 2"- 4.0
Jay Z "BP3"- 4.0
Krs/Buckshot "Survival Skills"- 3.5-3.75


Brother Ali "Us"- haven't got it in the mail yet. (shut up Terry)

I agree Terry, KRS sounds very very average on the lyrics on this album. He almost sound uninspired like he just wanted to get the album over with. Buck and him do not have the best chemistry either maybe if he does that album with Freddie Foxx it will bring out that sleepin legend.

Kev, i think i know what you like from the last 2 years i've been posting on these forums. Your going to dig the production on "Us" better than Ali's other albums.

Brother Ali "Us"- N/A, I'll get around to it, soon

Slaughterhouse- 4.5; still my AOTY, thus far

Jay Z "BP3"- 3.75; better than I thought it would be

Raekwon "OB4CL 2"- 3.5-3.75; I'll re-visit this one again, soon, but the two times I've played it, it didn't do much for me

Krs/Buckshot "Survival Skills"- 4 stars, after 3 spins

See, comments like this are the reason why I have a hard time respecting your opinions.

It's one thing not to like something, but entirely another to disrespect everyone who enjoys the album.

Jay Z "BP3" - 3.5 stars

Raekwon "OB4CL 2" - 4.25 stars

EXACTLY!

Well obviously KJ that was just to mess with you - but seriously - the consensus seems to be around say a 3.75 and this is including people are big fans of KRS - so I will pass on this since I am neither a big fan of KRS nor did anything I heard from this CD sound good to me. Neither did buck shot either - at least not compared to his work on the BCC albums and first 3 black moon CDs...

KRS and Buckshot is 4 stars to me..this was not the greatest display of lyrical abilities but it has more than it's share of quality material on it..by no means is it a classic but it's not horrible either.

Raekwon's album to me is 3.50 stars...it's a decent effort but nowhere near as good as everybody is making it out to be..especially when it's a sequel to an all-time classic..I like it but not as much as everybody else.

Jay-Z is 4 stars..now this one is the exact opposite of Rae's in that everybody seems to hate it, but it's actually much better than it's given credit IMO

those are the three that I have so far..

Did you ever get that casual powell?

OBFCL2 - 4.5
MOP - Foundation - 4.25
Survival Skills 3.75 - 4
Slaughterhouse - 3.5
Blueprint 3 - 3-3.25
Brother Ali - N/A

In all seriousness, the album really isn't that bad. Not classic material, but not wack either. I always thought Buckshot was an aquired taste anyway. And Kris is just having fun man. Dude already has 15+ dope albums, he's already a legend, he dosen't have to prove himself, so why not just have fun with it.

1.Raekwon - Good.
2.Slaughterhouse - Overrated
3.Bro Ali - Boring lyrics over mostly good beats
4.Jay-Z - Borderline Garbage

Krs....N/A still. I have it downloaded but for some reason I'm not motivated to listen to it.
