Purchases:

Beastie Boys "Hot Sauce Committee Part 2"

Spins:

Beastie Boys "Hot Sauce Committee Part 2" (Dope after 1 spin, too early for a rating IMO)

Killer Mike "Pl3dge" (High moments are definitely dope, the songs with Jeezy & Gucci Mane and "Everything" brings it down a bit)

Jadakiss "I Love You (Dedication To My Fans)" On the same mode as "The Last Kiss". If you liked that effort, you will like this one.

Maybach Music Group Presents "Self Made"..Only buy this if you have to have a Rick Ross mixtape. ..Glad my boy let me just put the CD he bought into my Itunes. "Pandemonium" and "Play Your Part" are my 2 favs.

Just gave King Tee's "Thy Kingdom Come" a spin. I bought it from Itunes since amazon wanted 40 dollars for it. Can someone explain to me why this wasn't originally released? I know I am biased when it comes to King Tee but this effort was nice from beginning to end. I was definitely surprised by Kid Frost's contribution on "Let's Make A V". His verse was dope.

You know, I didn't think Thy Kingdom Come was close to touching his first three, but I do think it was dope and thought it should be released. But I don't know why Dre never released it. I think Dre is afraid a failure after that wack ass Aftermath compilation so I think he won't release anything unless it has a big single on the radio. The albums he has released himself (not em or 50) have all had big radio singles (knocturnal and truth hurts) and he's never released shit from King Tee or Rakim or other people he's signed.

This was only my 1st time spinning it but with an executive produced Dr. Dre effort (atleast originally) the beats are on point and King Tee is doing the damn thing. Obviously I think the first 3 are better and I have never heard IV Life but I wouldn't say there is a huge gap between Thy Kingdom Come and his first 3 CDs.

Highsmith not to overhype it but I think you will go ape shit over IV Life. I would like a true release of Thy Kingdome Come also, its worth it.

This is REALLY good. I've spun this about 3 times and love it....minus the Gucci track and the Jeezy track isn't that great but it's not terrible. I'd put this one right behind Onierology for AOTY

I wondered that myself. Personally, I don't see it as a big deal, since I think it would be ridiculous to go back and comment on someone's purchase/spin that happened last year.

Mac Dammit Man & Friends - City Slickers
Cutthoat Committee - Turf Buccaneers
Mac Dre & Da Unda Dogg - Maccin & Doggin
Young Black Brotha Records - The Unheard, Volumes 1 & 2

Haven't bought much music in a minute, but I'm about to go to Best Buy in an hour to cop the Tech N9ne...thinking about copping two of them, one to bump, the other for collection. That pendant is too good of a deal to pass up.

It was pretty much garbage to begin with. I'm glad B.O.B. went in on them fools.

Spins:

2nd II None- Pretty good but I expected better..One of the dudes sounded like Hi- C so I couldn't tell if it was a Hi-C feature or someone in the group rappin'....lol I will revisit it. I would probably say 3.5 after 1 spin

AMG- Bitch Betta Have My Money- Woooooooooow! is all I can say....beginning to end with the exception of maybe 2 tracks, this CD is off the chain...humorous, fun, sex rap, etc. I'll say 4.5 after 1 spin. If anyone wants to rate/recommend any other CDs from these 2 artists let me know.

I wouldn't say garbage at all. I can dig his rhyme style but like some has mentioned some of those beats are just not doing it for me. I actually like it more when listening in the headphones but I pumped it that time in the ride and nah.

I truly understand that, just let those expectations die down with time and it should get better. To me thats one of those albums that if you heard it back when it dropped during the summertime you may would luv it as much as I do but going back to hear it now after all the hype I feel you. Thats Gangsta D that sounds like Hi-C even though I can tell the diference between them easily. Hi-C has a more energetic delivery where D is always on some smooth laid back shit.

Spins:

Canibus & Keith Murray (The Undergods)- In Mics We Trust, Crush Microphones To Dust

This CD was a lot better than I thought it would be eventhough I didn't come into it with any high expectations. The rappers flow well together IMO and the production is decent. I would say 3.75- 4 stars after 1 spin.

DJ Quik- The Book Of David- 4 stars after 1 spin. I wasn't feelin' the Bizzy Bone contributions but the rest of the CD was pretty good for the most part.

Keith Murray- It's A Beautiful Thing
Keith Murray- Enigma

The KP is good, but it's probably toward the end(maybe middle at best) of his discog. I'm a huge fan of that Gravediggaz album. I'd say 4.5 stars from me, and Pit Of Snakes is worth the price alone. Bubba Sparxxx has some really nice tracks, and some really nice production. It's a bit uneven though. I would rec Deliverance, but this is still worth owning though. I haven't heard the Boo-Yaa Tribe. The John Legend album was just ok, but i've only heard it twice.
